Tulvan

Etymology

Proto-Tulvan *tulu-, *tulua, ("to think").

Pronunciation

(Tulvan) IPA: /'tulʋ/

Verb

tulv

  1. to think, to ponder. The act of engaging on a mental exercise to determine a solution or to analyze a problem.
    Tulv kwam, kik ëv kem.
    I think therefore I am.

Usage notes

It must not be confused with "to meditate" which employs different word. The best translation into English would be "to ponder", and a perfectly valid equivalent would be the latin "cogito". It must be noted that it should not be used to express "I think today might be a good day" or to express doubt or uncertainty.
