shúthima, n. Wind, either literal or as a type of étava. Like the 'winds of fate' in other cultures, shúthimai tend to be sudden, unexpected forces that shape Etharine with far-reaching consequences.

usage: As phenomenological concepts, shúthima and stía were Sarthían coinages and are not used in the Venika. They are loosely paralleled by fopesso and ikesso, respectively.

shúsa, n. The suit of winds as used in playing cards. Fem. One of the two choosers suits. See Lilitic Playing Cards. Shortened from shúthímasa.

shúthíka, n. Wind current; jetstream; predictable twist of fate. Wind is normally seen as a very passionate and uncontrollable piece of rhetorical imagery, so the notion of a consistent wind current took some time for poets to digest. Metaphorically, the image of a shúthíka is often used to describe the dangers that await those who partake of risky behaviour or, more rarely, good fortune that can be provoked by the same. Common examples include dangerous professions and unscrupulous friends. Oppose vendika.

shúthíma, n. Alternative spelling of shúthima.
