Take a weight off your pins, pull up a chair, and make yourself at home, because today’s theme from ConWorkShop is Homemaking verbs. One home made famous in story and legend is Elrond’s Last Homely House East of the Sea. The Last Homely House was perfect whether you liked food (nomata), or sleep (yinata), or work (teeta), or story-telling (pekena motata), or singing (romata), or just sitting (votota) and thinking (haveta) best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Unfortunately for today, I already had all those verbs.
