Kaltxì, ma smùkan si smukè.

You might know the word taronyu, "hunter", which comes from taron "hunt". And tsamsiyu "warrior", does it maybe come from some word like tsamsi "war?"?

What do you think about that? :)

Kaltxì ma 'eylan,


good guess, it's already in the dictionary:

tsam: [µam] S n. war

tsamsiyu: [µamsiju] S n. warrior (c.w. from tsam si make war and –yu agent suffix)
