vos : water
The Tarijan word for water is vos. Vos is a last name. VOS is an acronym for verb–object–subject in linguistic typology.
In other languages:
In Dutch vos means fox. In Latin and Interlingua vos means you (plural). In French vos is your (plural). In Spanish in parts of Latin America, vos is an informal form of you (singular).
How I came up with this word:
Vos is a mixture of the transliterated word for water in Russian which is voda (вода), and the transliterated word for water in Mongolian which is us (ус).
