• Lesson 52: Opposites of Declined Emotions's quotation or excerpt is recorded as In #3, the verb “dónesha” may have given you pause. Let’s build it from scratch. The root is “sha” (harmony). Next we add the prefix “ne–” (AGAIN) giving “nesha” (harmony again). And then the prefix “dó–” (CAUSEto) gives “dónesha” (cause to harmony again): “reconcile.” This word is not in the dictionary; it’s an on-the-fly formation of the type that Láadan makes so easy. Another formation for the English word “reconcile” might be based in “shon” (peace) or its opposite “rashon” (quarrel) rather than “sha” (harmony), with the differences in connotation that would bring: “dónórashon”?^[15].
