Here is an opportunity to make up words to describe things and situations.

Rules

The word has to be new


Example: there are too many birds!

Word: Meneghfogelin!


I just combined Proto-Indo-European, menegh- "many" with old English, -fogelin "birds" Feel free to make them however you like, but be original!

Here's a place to get started if you'd like to combine real roots, prefixes and suffixes: Common Word Roots

Otherwise, you could make up your own. Just let everyone know what they mean.

Ears of stone: Ausistainaz

from Germanic Auz- ear, and Stainaz stone.
