The lexicon is built around nouns. Generally, a nominal concept is expressed with a single word, as in as in ''Axtosugul'' "covert aggression". | |||
The lexicon has a wealth of words related to sets | |||
On the other hand, the lexicon lacks specific words (other than calqued scientific names) for many plants and animals. In Hwnic, "daffodil", "chrysanthemum", and "osmanthus" are all ''isalbunr'' "conspicuous flower". Some recognizable species may have unique names, such as ''isalibordal'' "poet's flower". This is because flowers have become rare as a result of ecological events, and most Hwnic speakers seldom use complicated nature words. | |||
