===present tense===  
===Definiteness===
{{V|-su|result=n}}
* On the [[Naeso/Grammar|grammar page]], we have voted tense suffixes out.
 
===instrumental preposition===
{{V|mym|date=2011-5-8|FH|y|BF|y}}
 
===across===
{{V|fao|date=2011-5-10|FH|y|BF|y}}
*across, through, anything that does not start or end there but is there sometime in the process.


===negative===
See also [[Naeso/Grammar#Prepositions]]
According to the [[Naeso/Grammar|grammar page]], this is a verb suffix.


{{V|-ni|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y}}
{{V|the coda becomes '''-l''' for definite prepositions|date=2011-6-27|FH|y|BF|y|JH|y}}


*See also [[Naeso/Dictionary/Proposed words#no|the vote on "no"]].
* e.g. ''ku'' becomes ''kul'', ''pan'' becomes ''pal''. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
 
*: It has sense, though it looks too Romancy to me. I stay undifferent. [[User:MilyAMD|MM]]
===intention===
According to the [[Naeso/Grammar|grammar page]], this is a verb suffix.
 
{{V|-tsun|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y}}
 
===whether===
See also [[Naeso/Dictionary/Proposed words#to ask|this vote]].

==Proposed content words==
==Proposed content words==
===plant===
*the noun, not the verb
{{V|dana|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|DC|y}}
===goat===
{{V|bendiza|date=2011-5-8|FH|y|BF|y|RJ|y|LS|y}}
===evil===
{{V|tthuy|date=2011-5-8|FH|y|BF|y|RJ|y|LS|y}}
*I like it. It sounds very evil ;) ~RJ
*I like it, too (because of RJ's thought), but I'm concerned about how it would be pronounced to an average viewer. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
===beautiful===
{{V|djensi|date=2011-5-8|FH|y|RJ|y}}
*This sounds a bit harsh, for "beautiful," but given consensus, I suppose there's no other way to go. Might I propose an alternative, with similar sounds? ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
{{V|jensi|date=2011-6-3|LS|y|BF|y|FH|y}}
*I'll vote "yes" on both until I'm convinced either way. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
===bridge===
{{V|bvya|date=2011-5-10|FH|y|BF|y}}
*For Naeso I usually follow the ''let usage define meaning'' principle, but for a change I would like to precisely define this term as ''a path through the air which connects two points on solid ground'' (and possibly metaphorical equivalents). According to this definition, some stairs are bridges, too (e.g. [http://www.sixdifferentways.com/photos/spamalot-stairs.jpg these] are, but [http://finstone.fi/engl/natural_stone_products/images/natural_stone_outdoor_stairs.jpg these] aren't). —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
*I'm concerned as to the pronunciation of the <bvya> sounds: /,b"vja/, /,b"vi,a/, /"bvi,a/, or something else? It might become hard to read (much more-so pronounce), to the average speaker/user. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
**Naeso has a fixed [[Naeso/Phonology|pronounciation]]: bvya would be pronounced {{IPA|/bvyˈa/}}. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
===to run===
Before anyone proposes words for this, we should decide how we express it. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
{{V|new word|date=2011-5-11|FH|n|BF|y}}
{{V|go fast|date=2011-5-11|FH|y|BF|n|LS|y}}
*In that case, how would we even say 'go fast', if, say, one were going on... a train?  'The train goes fast' would in this case = 'the train runs'.  You don't find that confusing?  - [[User:Bornfor|BF]]
*Something like this would be clear from the context. Trains can't run. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
**Seconded. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
===fast===
{{V|tsia|date=2011-5-11|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
*My only concern is that, given the question of "go fast", which is shown above, what would we use for the verb, "to go fast" (not "to fast", in my opinion, but it could be Let Usage Define Meaning)? Would it be "mina tsia", which would mean, from my understanding, "to (go/leave/depart) fastly" or some "verbified" version of "tsia"? ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
**Mina simply indicates motion or travel. You can specify the starting and end points, speed, means of travel, traveller, and so on if you want, but you can also leave them out. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
***All right. So, we would need a verb form of "tsia," to use "to go," in that case; yes? ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
===very===
This vote has been moved to the [[Naeso/Grammar#Comparison|grammar page]].
===to marry===
{{V|kaminhto|date=2011-5-11|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
*No better alternative, but what if we used a version of "love" (in this case, if needed, passionate love -- Greek "eros") with a pre- or suffix for "to join"? Literally, this would be "to join love," but this might be more- or less-confusing, compared to kaminhto. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
*If you want to propose a compound, go ahead! —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
===to ask===
For an example see [[Naeso/Torch#4|line 4 of the LCC4 torch]].
{{V|nugo|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
{{V|bam|date=2011-6-3|LS|n|BF|y|FH|n}}
*If we introduce another word like ''bam'' that means ''whether'', we could extend this word's meaning to "ask, whether". I know that this is very close to the English word, but we don't have to make everything different from it, right? —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
**Seconded. I'm adding that option right now. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
**No, that's not what I meant. I meant that if we add a separate word (e.g. ''tum'') which means ''whether'', we could say ''nugo bam'' for ''to ask someone to do something'', or ''mugo tum'' for ''to ask someone, whether…'' —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
***Whoops. sorry about that. I'll change my vote on there to a "No." ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
===to know===
{{V|baum|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
===name===

===to cut===
{{V|tsam|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
===head===
{{V|bveo|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
*Would this be the "head" of the household, or the "head" of the body? Or does usage define meaning? ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
**I think metaphorical meanings will mostly be assigned by usage. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
===body===
{{V|kemga|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}

===yes===
{{V|ae|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
===no===
{{V|ni|date=2011-5-19|FH|y|BF|y|LS|y}}
*I like this. It could add new meaning to the "Knights Who Say Ni" scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. ~[[User:Lamesu|LS]]
===other logic operators===
{{V|for negative counterparts of logic operators, suffix the word for "no"|date=2011-5-25|FH|y|LS|y|BF|y}}
*"neither red nor blue" would be ''dzoni dol gel''.
*"not both red and blue" would be ''bvini dol gel''.
*"either both red and blue, or neither red nor blue" would be ''pfeni dol gel''.
===position===
{{V|[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_notation prefix]|result=y}}
{{V|[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infix_notation infix]|result=n}}
{{V|[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postfix_notation postfix]|result=n}}
E.g., "red and blue" is translated as ''bvi dol gel''.
*Postfix notation seems very out of place re: Naeso's VSO and head + modifier order.  Prefix notation could be interesting, but I am worried that it would be unclear when it affects something more than a pair of single words (two prepositional phrases, two clauses...).  I'm voting for infix conjunctions for now, but I might change my vote if someone proposes a good way to disambiguate prefix conjunctions with phrases or clauses. —[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 10:12, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
*It probably makes no sense to vote yes for postfix but I like its Forthyness. —RJ
*Fenhl has proposed a sentence on the Sentences pages showing how a prefix "or" conjunction could be disambiguated in some cases with a subordinating/relativizer conjunction. —[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 18:44, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
*I think prefix would work best with Naeso's existing syntax (VSO, preposition-noun-adjective, etc) and if we find that something is ambiguous, we could still introduce a feature to remove ambiguity. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]

If you've grown attached to a certain word or phrase and want it included in the lex, but don't have the faintest idea about what you want it to mean, list it here. We'll consider this the grab bag — other people can look here for inspiration and develop words or phrases off of the ones here, or use them in their entirety.
