ᴺQ. !celvacir n. “butcher” (Category: Butcher)

ᴺQ. !celvacir, n. “butcher” [created by Paul Strack] (Category: Butcher)

A neologism coined by Paul Strack in 2022 for Eldamo, a combination of celva “animal” and √KIR “cut”. This neologism was originally coined by Orondil as ᴺQ. cuimacir “butcher” using cuima for “animal”, but I find that word problematic because it is based on the root √KUY having the meaning “live”, and I prefer to use that root only for “awake” and to use √KOY for “live”.
