Description:

The term 'zril' refers to burns and burning - the destructive effect of things like heat, fire, acid, etc. as opposed to the destructive thing itself, such as fire. It has close semantic overlap with the English word 'burn', except that it lacks the sense of 'what fire does' - you would not use 'zril' to say 'the fire burns' if you mean just that the fire is going. That would be 'a opraz se opraz', a form of the word for fire, unless you want to focus on the idea that the fire is giving something burns, in which case you could use 'zril'.

Verb:

Zril is a transitive skurun verb that takes an ergative subject that is the thing causing the burning and an absolutive object which is the thing that is burned.

Noun:

As a noun, 'zril' refers to the effect of burning, so burning in general, or a specific burn. It has a couple of important derived forms:

zrilca: That which causes burns, used for a nurner on a stove, or as a word for furnace.
zrilka: That which is burnt, can be used as a word for fuel, and as a word for burn victims or burnt out areas, as in a war.

Note that ash is actually oprazka.

Modifier:

The bare form 'zrilys' is not often used, but could be used to say that some damage is like a burn. The derived forms zrilcas and zrilkas are commonly used, however - zrilcas, like that which causes burns, is a word for something dangerously hot or caustic, and zrilkas means 'burnt'.
