RAWA has confirmed the following three words (the first successfully guessed by Larry Fontenot<ref>{{cite forum post|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/257858391385034/posts/559609031209967/|author=Larry Fontenot|title=New words, in their noun, verb, and title forms.|forum=Guild of Linguists' Pub Facebook group|date=February 18, 2019}}</ref>) that each appear to contain the word ''gestoy'' : | RAWA has confirmed the following three words (the first successfully guessed by Larry Fontenot<ref>{{cite forum post|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/257858391385034/posts/559609031209967/|author=Larry Fontenot|title=New words, in their noun, verb, and title forms.|forum=Guild of Linguists' Pub Facebook group|date=February 18, 2019}}</ref>) that each appear to contain the word ''gestoy'' : | ||
'''{{ | '''{{Parsed D'ni|krogestoy}}''' = "dance, the art of dancing";<br /> | ||

'''{{ | '''{{Parsed D'ni|fengestoy}}''' = "acting, the art of playing a role." | ||
Interestingly enough, RAWA also observed that without the final syllable ''toy'' these are the corresponding verbs for the actions involved in the particular forms of art: | Interestingly enough, RAWA also observed that without the final syllable ''toy'' these are the corresponding verbs for the actions involved in the particular forms of art: | ||
'''{{ | '''{{Parsed D'ni|kroges}}''' = "I dance";<br /> | ||

The compounds are only broadly similar in construction — ''kro'' is a verb "I move"; ''pråd'' the noun "rock"; while *''fen'' is similar to ''fenah'' "story" — so they probably developed by analogy as the different kinds of art were invented or differentiated. RAWA also mentioned the three derived nouns: | The compounds are only broadly similar in construction — ''kro'' is a verb "I move"; ''pråd'' the noun "rock"; while *''fen'' is similar to ''fenah'' "story" — so they probably developed by analogy as the different kinds of art were invented or differentiated.
