Description:

The modifier 'cah' is an Old Common word meaning 'bitter'. It can also have the same connotation it does in English when applied to a person. The term form 'cahyn' means 'bitterness' as a noun, or is a pali verb meaning 'to be bitter' as a verb, which can take a causative skurun form where the ergative subject is the cause of the bitterness (the same construction that would be expressed as a passive in English).
