| Maerd | |
|---|---|
| Stage | Modern CLT |
| Pronunciation | /ˈmaɪɾd/ |
| Part of speech | Interjection |

Maerd — an exclamation of unguarded excitement at something one loves; and the state of being that excited.
Notes
Distinct from omaejei, which is surprise. A person saying Maerd has stopped managing how they appear, and in Shining Reach that is a small social event in itself. Said constantly by children and by anybody who has just been handed something they wanted.
