I added a few!

Fair enough, here's a list of newly suggested words. I've decided to reject all three of them and here's why.

• esprëso, "espresso" (masculine noun): Incorrect spelling aside (whats the Ë doing there?), "espresso" is an Italian loanword for a very Italian beverage. As such I see no point in coining a specifically Talossan word for it, just use espresso (or espreßo if you insist, ẞ and SS are mostly interchangeable).
• espomar, "to froth" (verb): The Talossan word for froth is sploimă. So the verb "to froth" can be regularly derived to be sploimiçar (sploimă "froth" + -içar "-ize, to make into"), no new dictionary entry necessary.
• gräno, "bean (green bean, coffee bean)" (masculine noun): No etymology was given, and I don't recognise the word myself. But aside from that, Talossan already has a word for "bean" that you can use: þáriqeu.

There was also a word request for "portafilter". As far as I can tell, the English word is either a blend of "portable filter", in which case the Talossan word is strecureir porteble, or it comes from Italian "portafiltro", literally "carries-filter", in which case the Talossan word is apoartastrecureir. Comparisons with other Romance languages lead me to believe the latter origin is more likely, so my suggestion for "portafilter" would be apoartastrecureir.

Comments and corrections are appreciated.

I've seen people use expresso outside of Italy and sometimes they use the word espresso. It's a common mistake and I thought maybe you could decide on one.

I didn't find "froth" but I think that's because I was looking specifically for verbs instead of "all" in the query / filter thingy. My bad.

Bean in english is really broad, as beans (english breakfast, mexican breakfast) in spanish, italian and french is different than coffee beans.
Spanish: Frijol / Grano de café.
Italian: Fagiolo / chicco/grano di café.
French: Haricots / Grain de café.
I don't think it'd be appropiate to use " þáriqeu de cafe" but I'm figuring "tridicour de cafè" would be the best answer?

Apoartastrecureir sounds good, thanks.

I submitted a few words that I had suggested in the Old Witt.

From Iac Marscheir on Discord:

I'd like to advocate for a gendered form of the determiner aucün.
aucünă, that would be.

Also, from l'Översteir:
PROVIDED THAT --> províut qe
SEE (past participle) --> víut

Proposal:
PROVIDE (i.e. stipulate) --> providar

Azul Tamoran, welcome back on Witt!

thank you! It seems that Talossa is going to have some important changes and I  longed to help Talossan language somehow as it was the first reason why I pondered to become a citizen

From Iac Marscheir on Discord:

aucünă, that would be.

I would like to argue against such a change to the grammar from a historical point of view: aucün has been used with feminine nouns since 1987. Interestingly enough, it used to have a plural form, aucüns, until at least 1994, but it seems that fell out of use sometime beween then and the mid-2010s when talossan. com was written (by the way, DO NOT visit that website, the domain has since been hijacked by God knows who)

Also, from l'Översteir:
PROVIDED THAT --> províut qe
SEE (past participle) --> víut

Proposal:
PROVIDE (i.e. stipulate) --> providar

That seems fine. In fact it's weird that providar isn't already in the dictionary.

[Iac Marscheir]

I would argue for aucünă on two bases:

1. Its closest natlang counterpart, aucun in French, has a feminine form.

2. aucün --> aucünă is analogous to ün --> ünă.

Could we get a talossan short hand for academic writing peroses for the term "And others" or in common short hand "et al"?

[Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC]

"es oðreux" -> "es oð." ?

Where may one find a ð on a keyboard without copying and pasting?

[Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC]

Install US-International keyboard on Windows, it's Alt+D

[Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP]

"es oðreux" -> "es oð." ?

It's ödreux, not oðreux. Hence "es öd."

[Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC]

Awww man, has that changed since Talossan 2.1? I definitely used to spell it oðreux when I was writing Qator Itrìns
