Lesson 59: HE Cluster

How to Use This Lesson

Do not try to memorize! Just read through the content attentively. We will have plenty of exercises and reviews later!


How much do you remember?

Let's learn one of the last clusters, the HE cluster! Here's a few words:

Oravia English
hehma monster
hehui ghost
hevas secret
heodom planet
heosu moon
heoloa universe
heivio magic
heipili fairy

What do you think HE words are about?

There are 3 subclusters. Can you identify which sound is which meaning? . One is about protagonist tropes . One is about antagonist tropes . One is about the cosmos and background

In Oravia, you can change the cluster of words, or create new combinations of clusters and roots. For example, the base word for magic is heivio, which is in the subcluster for protagonist tropes. If you are talking about evil magic used by the villains, however, instead of using the protagonist trope, you could use the antagonist trope. How do you think the word would be?

You are ready for the exercise now!

Today we will write a story! As we finish the course, no better way than put into practice what we've learned.
It should be at least 4-5 sentences (50-70 words). You may search the full vocabulary page for a few extra words if you'd like to. Do not worry about perfect grammar, aim for clear meaning and expression.
Notice that if you write your text here and leave this page, your work may not be saved. You may want to write it somewhere else you can save it. And consider submitting it to Oravia's magazine :)
You may choose one of the prompts below for inspiration:

. You are late to meet a friend. What happened?
. You help a child, older person or animal
. You go to a restaurant, but there is a problem
. You see a beautiful thing or place and tell someone about it
. Write about a memory that stayed with you
. Use these 3 words: leayo, ilotanu, hevas
. Use these 3 words: davio, heosu, anivari
