I said "evanescent" might be "mallongtempa". Actually it would need to be
shorter. Perhaps "ege mallongtempa", or
"mallongtempega".  "Eg" is an intensifier (like "Very" in english), and the
essential part "eg" -- is often found right inside the word.

How come it has an E on the end when it stands alone?  Because then its acting
as an adverb, like "-LY" at the end in English.

Of course, "temp" might not even be the best root.  Maybe "dauxr" would be
better (duration). (Say it like english "dowr").

Evanescent:
Mallongdauxrega

opposite_of-long-lasting-(muchly!)-ish.

 -- of course the same way I say -E is like
English -LY, (adverb), I say -A is like English
-ish (adjective ending).

BTW, Adjective is adjektivo. and Adverb is adverbo. Not hard to figure, there!
