Here is what I will be adding to the master vocabulary:

a bon ora -- on time, timely, at a good time
a comensa (de) -- early, at the start (of the day, etc.)
atendente -- waiting (on), caring (for) (from atender)
*aspera -- rough, course, not smooth
*cavida -- hollow, hollowed out (from cavir)
*complesa -- complex
concava -- concave, hollow
convesa -- convex
*espetante -- waiting (for), expecting
fisica -- physique, physical entity
incompleta -- incomplete, unfinished, rough (e.g. rough draft)
moiar -- to wet
*moiada -- wet
prematura -- early, before expected
rustica -- rustic, primitive, simple in style
tempestos -- stormy, tempestuous (from tempeste)

changed from pronta, altered definition:
pronta -- ready, early, quickly, immediately, soon, shortly, presently

already in vocabulary, but slightly altered definition:
prosima -- near, close, nearby, approximate/ly
vacua -- empty, hollow

removed:  ru
replaced with:  rude -- rude, uncouth, coarse in character, rough or
gravely (voice)

removed:  fecunda
replaced with:  *fertil -- fertile, fecund

The ones with * are relevant to the uldic lists.  I don't know which is
best for "early:"  pronta, prematura, antica (antique, ancient, early),
a la comensa, prima (first, early), or bon ora!

I would also like to change nesesitada to nesesada (necessary),
nesesitar to nesesar (to need), and add nesesa (necessity) and nesesante
(needy).  These go back to the latin root necese, meaning necessity.
That would also affect the uldic lists.

Any comments?

still and solitary.  The world will freely offer itself to you to be
unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. --
