Etymology

From Proto-Luxelvic *dră-m, accusative of *dra "joint, hand, foot". Doublet of ahra "hand".

Pronunciation

Noun

dram anim (plural dramor)

  1. foot
    Uriglei tiure dramer, tokisvai!
    Wash your dirty feet, children!
  2. leg
    Anlit bo nemise dramer omus kavinu.
    I adore the long legs of that woman.

Usage notes

Dram is animate, though it is declensed as if it were inanimate. Adjectives are still inflected as animate, so the accusative of "long legs" would be nemise dramer, instead of *nemiser dramer.
