wants to do a version of this using the Filipino language, and all of the languages in this country i call mine. that would be a long list.
alimuom: steam rising from newly-wet earth, or its smell.
balisawsaw: uneasiness of the bladder, especially after sitting on a warm spot for too long.
alimpungat: the state of confusion that comes in the first few moments after waking.
ampiyas: soft spray of rain, especially near an awning, or an open window or door
lagaslas: the sound of water, softly and swiftly flowing
I just realized, typing those last two items down: look for water. There is so much water in my country.
The smell of the ground after rain is called petrichor. Alimuom refers to the steam too, though, and I don’t think there’s a word for that. Kael, I seem so contentious toward you but I’m not, I promise. Haha. Feeling the sgriobn right about now.
