gauselar vt 1 / 2b i [/ɡɔ.sɛ.lɑɹ/; gau•se•lar (3 syll.)] [After Gta' gotehHarrison (2010):131.]
- 1 : to overcome, to surmount
- 2 : to achieve the impossible
→ The original etymon, goteh, means "bringing something from an inaccessible place with the help of a long stick", and appears in "Chapter Five: Finding Hidden Languages", Harrison (2010):131. Use of this Tovasala adaptation is based on the figurative implications of this task.
Gta' (or Gataq) is an "endangered" Munda language in the Austroasiatic family, spoken in India. As Harrison states, "many [of its] words"—this example included—"have specific meanings that cannot be expressed by a single word in English."
