Who woulda thunk it? Today’s theme from ConWorkShop is Words that contain with /u/ in your native language. But of course; thus, this theme is utterly likely to inspire all kinds of random vocabulary. Turns out the words I came up with today have, not only the vowel sound /u/ in my native language, also the letter <u> in Human English. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.
