High Eolic word of the day: nassár

nassár (noun): lumberjack; “dragger”; draft horse.

nassár-ut rícerc mbevándacir
lumberjack-DEF kill.PASS log.DEL
“the lumberjack was killed by a [falling] tree”

nassár is a general designation for anyone whose profession is felling trees and transporting them around (or selling them). By extension, it’s also used for horses used in dragging heavy loads (such as logs) – especially the stronger Carbian breeds first introduced to Eoleon in the 9th century.
