There weren't really in Vaijerīna (can't imagine swearing elves, just can't ), but there should be in my new project. |

In Exyan, there's only two words in the development of language so far that fit that description: Tangguh {} is a tehvel (≈ predicate) meaning all that is wrong with the universe. There is also the similar word tang which is an attidunal expressing about the same idea. _________________

Ouch.
Emitare will have ( ) pronouns for every possible way you want to refer to someone, so some of those will surely be insulting. It may not be any more interesting than just 'this word expresses contempt for whoever it is referring to' - nothing like English's 'you illegitimate child!' or 'you female dog!' |
