Good omen, lucky sign
High Lulani kala /ˈkʰalə/ saltwater carp: a type of fish, lives in tidal pools on Mala Ptokonoi, considered to be lucky.

I don't know enough about the culture of my proto-language speakers to actually know what they find lucky, but since this sounded like the Toki Pona word for fish, that's what it became.

I hit my "random word" link for the next word, and the first thing it came up with was ramaha /ɽəˈmahə/ subtriadic number "a number one less than a multiple of three". It was strange to me that English has odd and even, meaning "multiple of two" and "not a multiple of two", but nothing for higher numbers. I don't expect anyone to need a word like this, so a better choice might be:

Next word:
tapucijja /ˌtʰapʰʉˈcʰiɟʱːə/ to be drunk < tapu to enjoy + cijja alcohol

Is this word morphologically complex or do the Lulani have a basic root word for "subtriadic number"?

In the Sataw lexicon I do have words for become tipsy pipiikaw, which is a compound of rain + release and krasim: alcoholic beverage made from pickled condiments’. The word for alcohol is strangely lacking, so here it is:

tafusisa [tə̥ˈfusʊˌsa]: alcohol (n).

It's a basic word. The language is a conlang in-universe, created by a relatively advanced culture, which gives me the excuse I need to make monomorphemic words with fancy meanings. I had a word for oganesson (element 118) before IUPAC did, mostly because I couldn't see myself going to the effort that Zomp has.
