marsh is vashar

vashar = marsh (Lhaesine pronunciation = VAH-shar) (noun) (some things Google found for "vashar": an uncommon term; a race of fictional proto-humans that are utterly corrupt and evil in Dungeon & Dragons; user name; Croatian DJ Val Vashar; name of a fictional Goddess of Joy and Recuperation on RPGnet; techno musician Vashar from Tuzla)

This is another new word. It was originally intended to be a revision of my word for "swamp", but I reliazed that it would be useful to have a word for "marsh". After all, marshes and swamps are two different things.

A new word! A break from the all the revisions I've been doing lately in Lhaesine.

I have redefined "mina" in Lhaesine as "skin".
