Part of speech Content word

umesu is a marginal content word meaning “to amaze someone (by being on top of a leaderboard of a word game)”.

Etymology

The word umesu is derived from Iqglic umeyz, meaning "amaze". The more correct transliteration would be amesu, since in Iqglic, ⟨u⟩ is pronounced ə.

Meaning

In nimi ale, the definition of this word is: to amaze people by being on top of the Acrophobia leaderboard. The definition in Linku changes the definition to be any word game, and not just Acrophobia.

sitelen pona

The sitelen pona glyph for umesu (umesu) depicts an icon of a leaderboard.
