adjective [GE] Gender Exempt kʰɔRputaskʰ khorpootaskh
[kʰɔRputaskʰ] 
true
(real)
 Mighty
Etymology
From kʰɔRput, to root, and askʰ, to act as a support / patron. This literally means to be rooted, to be your own support for yourself. The idea, if not the word, is derived from the Aztec word neltiliztli - meaning rooted, good, truthful - that your body, mind, and spirit are in harmony so that life is worthwhile (note that this does not denote happiness).
Notes
kʰɔRputaskʰ is a genderless word, carrying the gender of the words around it. It means literally to be your own support (roots) for yourself (as your own patron). It is used in Mighty to reflect a sense of being correctly within your own life, true to your own purposes. For this reason kʰɔRputaskʰ bears a personal or ingroup connotation. One can be kʰɔRputaskʰ, but there isn't an abstract kʰɔRputaskʰ. So you don't get phrases like "the greater good" using it. The closest would be putting it forward as for the kʰɔRputaskʰ good / truth / worthwhileness of your own people. kʰɔRputaskʰ represents a sort of harmony of the subject and object. They fit together in the way that is best for them to fit together for themselves. It is meant to be a word necessarily specific to a certain situation. A phrase may be kʰɔRputaskʰ, true, as it is spoken and represented by this particular individual in this particular situation at this particular moment. It is not meant to be an abstract measure of truthfulness.
