The rationale is that "electronic" things are usually smaller in size and use less electricity) NOTE: For the "electronic" in "e-mail" and "e-commerce", do not use "vaolt", use "ciber" voltletdargcah [electricity+{diminutive}+road+{abstraction}] electronic circuit voltletsint [electricity+{diminutive}+science] science of electronics voltloc [electricity+location] electric potential voltlocfarc [electricity+location+{difference}] potential difference voltmin [electricity+fish] electric eel voltmov [electricity+movement] electric current voltmovmer [electricity+movement+measure] amperage voltmovmer [electricity+movement+measure] ampere (A) voltmovmercah [electricity+movement+measure+{abstraction}] electric current (amperage) voltmovmergan [electricity+movement+measure+agent] ammeter voltmovnahar [electricity+movement+source] current source voltnahar [electricity+source] power source -- use this word when it does not matter whether it is generated or stored, as the power source in a circuit. voltnic [electricity+worker] should include all professionals concerning electicity, but very likely it will undergo semantic shift to mean either electrician or electrical engineer, or electricity scientist... voltpantlic [electricity+plant+liquid] amber -- a hardened form of sap capable of producing electricity voltpedmestser [electricity+foot+site+series] escalator voltporv [electricity+provision] power supply -- a device that converts electricity into the form ready to use. voltpost [electricity+mail] telegram voltsint [electricity+science] should cover more than electromagnetic theory, but every systematic study that concerns electricity. If the definition "Electromagnetism" already means that, treat this as a clarification. voltsint [electricity+science] electromagnetism voltsir [electricity+zero] electrical ground (zero potential) voltsirccah [electricity+circle+{abstraction}] not an electric circuit itself but an actual loop or a "mesh" in circuit analysis, one circuit may contain multiple meshs, and an open circuit may contain none voltsut [electricity+thread] electric wire volttardcah [electricity+something-tardy+{abstraction}] inductance (electrical) -- inductance delays increase in voltage. volttarngan [electricity+change+agent] electrical transformer volttomlet [electricity+atom+{diminutive}] electron voltton [electricity+{augmentative}] power supply system -- generation and distribution of electricity on a large scale (note: "volt" should be used to name things in between electronic and power supply or where the distinction is not important. E.g. voltdoarg, vaoltdoarg, vuoltdoarg volttondargcah [electricity+{augmentative}+road+{abstraction}] power grid volttonfabgan [electricity+{augmentative}+creation+agent] power plant volttonsut [electricity+{augmentative}+thread] power line/cable voltvas [electricity+container] capacitor (electrical) -- temporarily stores electricity voltvascah [electricity+container+{abstraction}] capacitance (electrical) -- electricity-capacity voltvascahgan [electricity+container+{abstraction}+agent] capacitor (electrical) -- temporarily stores electricity voltvic [electricity+vehicle] electric car voltvis [electricity+sight] television voltvoltconrisp [electricity+electricity+{opposite}+reciprocity] electromagnetic induction, NOTE: I do not choose "voltrisp" to mean "inductance" because it is less meaningful from the point of view of circuit theory. "risp" based words are reserved for electromagnetic induction. voltvoltconsint [electricity+electricity+{opposite}+science] electromagnetism vosp [Truncation of obsolete Dublex 'vosped', "eight feet".] arachnid -- arthropods of the class Arachnida, such as spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks, characterized by four pairs of segmented legs Vospbaccisu [arachnid+alphabet+story] Charlotte's Web vospcumah [arachnid+cloth] cobweb -- the weavings produced by spiders vosphir [arachnid+bird] spiderhunter (Arachnothera) vospmicor [arachnid+tiny-item] mite vospmin [arachnid+fish] spiderfish (family Bathypteroidae) vospnet [arachnid+net] spider web vosppant [arachnid+plant] spiderplant vospteror [arachnid+fear] arachnophobia vospton [arachnid+{augmentative}] tarantula vospvov [arachnid+egg] spider egg vospvov [arachnid+egg] egg sac -- the silken pouch in which many spiders leave their eggs vov [From Latin 'ovum' (English 'ovum', Italian 'uovo').
