Brooding

Etymology

Compound of daroon ‘name’ and -yuh ‘less, lacking’.

Pronunciation

(Brooding) IPA: /da.run.jə/

Adjective

daroonyuh

  1. nameless; without a name.

Noun

daroonyuh(h)

  1. name of the letter ‹d›.

Usage Notes

Because nouns cannot end in a vowel in Brooding, the name daroonyuh should have an ‹h› at the end, but this is eliminated because ‹h› is already part of the root vowel, and as such would be redundant. There are various other things about this particular name that make it slightly irregular, and it is best to treat it as merely an adjective unless absolutely necessary.
