Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
So basically how this game works is one person will post a word in their Germanic Conlang and another person will reply to that post trying to guess what that word means. There's one of these on CWS but I decided to start one here. I'll start first.
Language: Faloch
Word: Morgonesten

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
It is a conjugation form (though not a conjugated form) of a verb, but not of 'to let'.
