Common Lexeme

skuruncasyn

Keywords: military

Pronunciation (IPA): 'sku.run.d͡ʒa.zən 
Part of Speech: term noun 
Class:  
Forms: skuruncasyn, skuruncahoro, mawacasyn 
Glosses: army, navy, strike force 

Description:

The derived form 'skuruncasyn', alternative form 'skuruncahoro', means 'army'. The other alternative form 'mawacasyn' refers specifically to the New World Army and nothing else. Common doesn't have a short, separate word for 'navy', and a sea force would be specified if needed by adding the modifying term 'zora'. Common has little military-specific terminology, and tends to borrow regular terminology into the military domain rather than vice-versa as in other languages, because the New World Order did not spend more than a few decades of its history with serious military competition.
