Root

son of the one who "mun" — root not confirmed

The root itself we could not confirm. We will not invent one.

Suffix

-oz — son of the one who.

Sound

2 syllables · flowing

Two syllables — step and answer. The steadiest rhythm there is: a heartbeat. It leaves on friction — the sound does not die, it hisses after. Held sounds dominate: it flows rather than strikes.
