Warsaw shine

It doesn’t seem right that orb and zest are actual words while vun and thort are not. Especially since we could use some new words; so many of our existing ones have to serve more than one meaning. Like the ribbon on the front of a ship (bow bow), tedious drilling (boring boring), or a wrapped laceration (wound wound). I’ve asked around and there doesn’t seem to be anyone with the authority to supervise this sort of thing. Somebody should do something. If we’re not careful, we’ll end up living in a world where we understand one another very poorly.
