Trurian word of the day: epörseon

epörseon (imperfective verb): to adorn, decorate oneself.

senyer möcher in-terwach epörs-eya ro-thenayer chanem
nicely PERF my-uncle adorn-3.FEM.SING.NONPAUS his-wedding.ADV also
“my uncle adorned himself nicely for his wedding”

epörseon belongs to a sub-class of Trurian verbs that are inherently reflexive (and thus do not need to use gönre or mawch as ‘dummy objects’). Most of these verbs have the (unproductive) prefix e-, which includes reflexivity as one of its possible implications. Often, it can also appear to be completive, causative, or inchoative.
