Keli Words
My darling second kitty, Keli (who only responds to Kitty), is one of the great joys of my life. Her word comes from the Kamakawi word keli, which means "tail". I gave her this name because of her long, lively, and vivacious tail, which she likes to thwap against walls and other hollow objects for the satisfying thump it makes. I love her dearly, and try my best to get her name into as many of my languages as I can.
Of course, not all Keli words get to have the exact form "keli", so to collect them all in one place, I've added them here (note: these are just the base forms, not morphologically inflected forms):
