denlu, n. Medium; that substance which is used to illustrate, typically ink or paint.

usage: In addition to being a generic term for inks and paints, this word is often sometimes used figuratively to indicate the mode of conveyance in other artforms, e.g. denla 'l falta, (the ink of music: sound), or denla 'l indúa, (the ink of dance: movement).

sefenlu, n. Ink, including paints that darken when applied in a more concentrated form, like watercolor. Shortened from solefikúení denlu, 'darkening ink'.

garenu, n. Paint; any pigment that leaves a solid film. Shortened from greñkeneí denlí, 'concealing ink'.

trepeshé, v. To render visual art which depicts a scene. Literally, shortened from 'trení kotopeshé': to take hint from one's eyes. Sa trepeshatis trúekhau il la kipes e dzhemenekal: 'I have painted a picture of her onto the wall.' This is a drifted meaning; the non-passive verb, trepé, retains the original and somewhat different syntax that describes the actual act of inspiration by one's eyes (even if the eyes are imaginary or metaphorical), rather than the thing that inspired the eyes.

yaré, v. To paint (an image).

–idathé, suf. To render a work of art about something (N to V).

lúdaire, n. Paint bottle for keeping undiluted paints in.
