ᴺQ. !surya- v. “to hiss” (Category: Snake)
A neologism for “hiss” coined by Paul Strack in 2018 specifically for Eldamo, based on the root ᴹ√SUS of the same meaning, serving as a replacement for 1920s ᴱQ. histe-. This conflicts with attested surya- “blow (intr.)” published in 2021, but I think the two verbs can coexist given their similarity in meaning, and the fact that surya- “blow” is derived from þurya-.
