===Cardinal points and continents=== | |||
The cardinal points in Atlantic are Arabic borrowings, but their related adjectives are Latin: | |||
* North: ''seamal'', northern: ''buriòi'' | |||
* East: ''seàruc'', eastern: ''urintòi'' | |||
* South: ''geanub'', southern: ''oistròi'' | |||
* West: ''àrub'', western: ''uciuintòi'' | |||
The names for Europe, Africa, and Asia are inherited from the Latin spoken in ancient times; the others are recent borrowings, but with the words for America and Antarctica sculpted after the one for Africa, and the one for Oceania sculpted on the cognate root ''ogein''. | |||
* Africa: ''Ofriga'' – African: ''òfir'' (f. ''òfira'', arch. ''ofra'') | |||
* Europe: ''Eroba'' – European: ''erobens'' | |||
* Asia: ''Osea'' – Asian: ''osion'' or ''osiòtig'' | |||
* North America: ''Amèriga Burioea'' – North American: ''seamal-amerigens'' /-ameriˈzens/ | |||
* South America: ''Amèriga Oistroea'' – South American: ''geanub-amerigens'' | |||
* Oceania: ''Ogeianea'' /ozeˈjaɲa/ – Oceanian: ''ogeianiens'' /ozejaˈɲens/ | |||
* Antarctica: ''Antàrtiga'' – Antarctic: ''antartigens'' /antartiˈzens/ | |||
