Conlanging for the Opal Mask - Some Nouns

I've started with some nouns for natural places or objects. But first some of those infixes that go between root and gender.

Small: -pʰrē-
Large: -yad-
Artificial version of a magical thin
g: -avet-
Artificial version of a non-magical thing: -dzat-

Note: -avet- indicates that the thing itself is magic not the method of making it.

Water-related nouns:

Declined in the inanimate gender. For spirit gender just change the suffix (and infix in the case of well)

(sorry about the crazy overwide table - hopefully fixed now.

I have seven land related nouns as well but it's getting late here so I'll post them tomorrow.

But hey, actual words.
