difficult is terucen (revisited)
terucen = difficult (Lhaesine pronunciation = TEH-ruh-kehn) (adjective) (some things Google found for "terucen": a very rare term; may be a last name; other occurrences seemed to be just gobbledygook)
My previous word for "difficult" was "terinpan", which no longer works within the rules for Lhaesine because of that "np" consoant combination. Over the years I've come up with various rules for building words in this conlang language.
Happy New Year!
