I'd say we should get Arioch to update the lexicon, but we should really be encouraging him towards other avenues of progress. If you've got a spare moment, perhaps, Arioch?
CJ Miller: How many millions must be banned before we stop having pointless arguments on the Internet?
fredgiblet: ALL OF THEM! Our banhammers will blot out the sun!
CptWinters: Then we will troll in the shade.!
Deinar is more arid than Earth. But it's true that Loroi have a thing about wind and weather and water. Being space sirens and all that.
The words in the lexicon on the webpage are a small subset (~470) of my master list, which is a spreadsheet with about 3,400 entries. Most were automatically generated by software according to the pronunciation rules of Trade, and assigned to a list. This was massaged a lot by hand over a period of time to make things more sensible and less random, and words are marked as verified, and it's those words that get put in the web lexicon. It just happens that I haven't had occasion to name any bodies of water, so none of those words had yet been verified.
water is "memal"
sea/ocean is "lesoton"
bay is "roio"
river is "lenara"
lake is "mennis" (the automatically-generated word was "penis", which is obviously not acceptable. )

I am now imagining Beryl trying to take Alex on a long, romantic tour of the penises of Seren.

You know, it's a good thing I have a protective cover on my keyboard...

Beryl: Am going for a dive in the penis. Are you coming Ensign Jardin?
Alex: *nose bleed*
Fireblade *she broke the human again*
