Words are the lifeline of Gorean roleplay! Let's have a little fun with them!
Take the last letter of the Gorean word posted, then post a NEW Gorean word beginning with that letter.
(The word must be a Gorean word.)
Example:

The next post would be a word beginning with "N"......

... and so on.
Feel free to add a short description or quote that uses the word, if you wish!
Let's start with
FLAMINIUM (a scarlet red, large-budded, five-petaled flower)
