doroledim	(sublimation with food accompanied by guilt about that sublimation) This word has no English equivalent whatsoever. Say you have an average woman. She has no control over her life. She has little or nothing in the way of a resource for being good to herself, even when it is necessary. She has family and animals and friends and associates that depend on her for sustenance of all kinds. She rarely has adequate sleep or rest; she has no time for herself, no space of her own, little or no money to buy things for herself, no opportunity to consider her own emotional needs. She is at the beck and call of others, because she has these responsibilities and obligations and does not choose to (or cannot) abandon them. For such a woman, the one and only thing she is likely to have a little control over for indulging her own self is FOOD. When such a woman overeats, the verb for that is "doroledim". (And then she feels guilty, because there are women whose children are starving and who do not have even THAT option for self-indulgence... )	D

du-	try-to-VERB prefix (try to speak=dudi); a morpheme that can be added to verbs [including those that would be classified as adjectives in English], meaning "try to [VERB]"	D
dúu-	to-try-in-vain-to-VERB [du-=to-try-to-VERB] (try in vain to speak=dúudi); a morpheme that can be added to verbs [including those that would be classified as adjectives in English], meaning "try in vain to [VERB]," "try (but fail) to [VERB]"	D
e-	prefix for science of
é-	prefix for potential	U
-ha	morpheme used to indicate where something or someone is located; Bíi ril Athid botheha wa. ("Athid is at the hotel.); Case Marker: suffix for place (see also '-sha')

-háalish	Degree Marker: to an extraordinary degree (see also '-hil', '-hal', '-hul', '-hel')
-hal	Degree Marker: to an unusual degree, very (see also '-hil', '-hel', '-hul', '-háalish')
-hé	morpheme used to embed one statement inside another statement; Embedding Marker: to embed a sentential complement (like English "I know that she left") attached to the last element in the embedded clause (see also '-háa', '-hée') When we want to put one English statement inside another one -- a process called "embedding" -- we can use the word "that" to mark the statement that is embedded. For example, "I know that science fiction conventions are fun," embeds the statement "science fiction conventions are fun" inside "I know [some other statement]," by putting "that" at the beginning of the embedded statement. LAadan embeds one statement in another by putting the morpheme "-hE" on the last word of the embedded statement. So, in sentence #7, the statement "radezhehul thod Aabeth" -- "writing a book is very hard," is marked as an embedded statement by adding "-hE" to "Aabeth." [Note: An embedding morpheme is the _only_ morpheme that can follow a case-marking morpheme.]

-lan	Speech Act suffix; "said in celebration"
lée-	meta- [prefix]	D
lh- or -lh or -lh-	bad (intentionally) <infix> The pejorative element "lh" can always be added to a word to give it a negative connotation, so long as it precedes or follows a vowel and does not violate the rules of the Laadan sound system by creating a forbidden cluster. The addition of "lh" need not create an actual new word; for example, "awith " means "baby"-to use instead "lhawith" (or awithelh") means only something like "the darned baby" and is ordinarily a temporary addition. But it is very handy indeed. We are indebted to the Navajo language for this device.
-li	Speech Act suffix; "said in love"
me-	plural marker, plural morpheme used at the beginning of verbs and words that correspond to English adjectives; always the first prefix in the word (beautiful women = mewoháya wowith)

-wan	Case Marker: suffix for cause - for the purpose of, in order to (see also '-wáan')
wo-	changes a verb to an adjective, must be put on both verb and noun, after plural marker (beautiful woman = woháya wowith) Láadan has a form that is much like an English "adjective + noun" sequence, as in "green tree" or "small child". You can take any sequence of verb and subject (remembering that "adjectives" are only ordinary verbs in Láadan) and but the marker "wo-" at the beginning of each one. "Beautiful woman" is thus "woháya wowith". This is very useful, but it is a bit different from English, because it can only be used if you have just one verb. You cannot use this pattern to translate an English sequence like "little red brick wall". To make your descriptive phrase plural, you would put the plural marker "me-" at the beginning of the verb, as always. "Busy dragons" would be "mewoshOod wohOowamid."
-ya	Case Marker: suffix for Time
-ya	Speech Act suffix; "said in fear"
