Regarding constructed things

[Vlet Hansen]

I was at work the other day wondering how I would say "leafblower" (apologies to all of you making infinitely larger expanded vocabularies as I suspect you already have and I missed it) and I came to suspect a possible pattern:

Goyust means a road, as in a path that has been specifically engineered.

Solegot is a computer, as in the engineered thing that does the counting.

For, say, a leafblower or a fan, perhaps we could construct it like this: the machine doing the blowing is a woore'got, and the wind it generates is a gowoor.

This general pattern can be applied to most anything involving machines that do things.

Thoughts?

Sorry for the (very) late response.

That is an incredibly astute observation. Upon reading your post, I searched the dictionary and it seems as though go (from gotal) is indeed used consistently in such a fashion, and despite that word root existing, that pattern never occurred to me.

Your construction of woore'got (though I would have just gone with woor'got, as the e in solegot I believe to come from the e in soletar "count") as "wind-maker" is perfectly logical and I support it, though the same word could apply to a common household fan or a vacuum cleaner or a politician.

I think gowoor might be unnecessary, however, as we don't tend (at least in English) to distinguish between artificial and natural wind. It's just wind.

As for your interpretation of solegot, I would lean more towards the computer being a thing that "does" or "makes" counting (just as I would call a construction worker a yaim'got and a swordsmith a kad'got).
