Creation and Usage Notes

Beyond just being a super important word for a language for witches, this word is cool because we decided to make the plural form kháà, which is derived from the word meaning "coven." I like to think that once witches gather in groups, they see themselves as a unified coven. Or, at least, they used to; watching the first season of Motherland: Fort Salem indicates that not all modern witches feel that sense of coven-ness. -Jessie Sams 22:14, 22 May 2020 (PDT)
