One would expect such a parent to have reared her/his child in such a way that s/he is held in high regard—for her/his wisdom, willingness to listen and help solve dilemmas, as well as the awareness of when to offer help or guidance and when to let the child learn her/his own lessons. Gender neutral term; to specify gender, add "-izh" (female; shathulizh = honored mother) or "- id" (male; shathulid = honored father) {SHE} See also: thul, Emath, Mathul; shinehothul (n) [shin (number: 2) + hothul (grandmother)] great-grandparent.

pejorative: lh-, -lh-, -lh (fix) Prefix, Suffix, Infix (any): the pejorative element "lh" can always be added to a word to give it a negative connotation, so long as it precedes or follows a vowel and does not violate the rules of the Láadan sound system by creating a forbidden cluster. The addition of "lh" need not create an actual new word; for example, "áwith" means "baby"—to use instead "lháwith" (or "áwithelh") means only something like "the darned baby" and is ordinarily a temporary addition. But it is very handy indeed. We are indebted to the Navajo language for this device. {SHE}

Relativizer: wo- (fix) Prefix (CP): Relativizer. Incorporates verb-as-adjective into noun phrase; much like an English "adjective + noun" sequence, as in "green tree" or "small child".
