	===Colours===		===Colours===
	Elvarri traditionally distinguishes between five base colours, that, as adjectives, are always uninflected: {{l\|elva\|ohid}} (red), {{l\|elva\|kalla}} (yellow-orange, saffron), {{l\|elva\|drais}} (dark blue), {{l\|elva\|narva}} (blue-green), {{l\|elva\|sil}} (white) and {{l\|elva\|wal}} (black). These colours also symbolised various things: ''ohid'' symbolised ambition for power or for affection, ''kalla'' represented loyalty to spouse or nation, ''drais'' represented royalty, ''sil'' represented purity and beauty, and ''wal'' represented strength and soil. These colour symbolisms, though only widely recognised during the period of Elvarri being spoken natively, they widely influenced colour perception in Elvarno cultures, in particular [[Whitereed]] culture; their endonym itself, ''Sërben'', originally comes from the compound {{com\|nocat=1\|elva\|sil\|erven}}, literally "white grass" or "white reed".
