The language's lexicon is closely linked to the natural world and tangible experiences. The land, the body, the weather, and movement are all associated with many of the oldest words. The short, strong words for mountains, rivers, sky, and earth frequently occur in compounds to create place names or evocative expressions. Terms pertaining to the body are equally well-developed, with distinct differences between internal and external characteristics, bodily functions, and sensations. With distinct words for walking, running, creeping, falling, and climbing—often with subtle distinctions based on direction, effort, or purpose—the vocabulary for daily movement is rich. Loan words are adapted for the language’s phonotactics and phonemes. | |||
