ᴺQ. !sirista- [vb], n. “to apply make-up to” [created by Luinyelle] (Category: Beautiful)

A neologism coined by Luinyelle posted on 2024-08-14 in the Vinyë Lambengolmor Discord Server (VLDS), derived from a combination of √STIR “face”, √SRIT “complete a work” and the causative verbal suffix ✶-tā. It is used with an accusative or reflexive pronoun: siristan imni “I apply make up [to] myself” vs. siristenan i hína “I applied make up [to] the child”. See also ᴺQ. (sir)ritwa for a noun meaning “make up”.
