kordí, a. Having many layers; padded; thick; (of a book or speech) lengthy, perhaps unnecessarily so.

usage: Most objects cannot be kordí; only containers (such as clothing or ship plating) or things with many layers (such as foliage or a codex.) Use kelegní to indicate e.g. a thick metal rod. Some authors with a biomedical background regard tree trunks and human limbs as having many layers of cells and will describe them as kordí, although this is not a widespread usage and does not appear in Sarthía.
