The smell of bloodwine and gagh filled the barge upon entering. PB
(KGT 86): The verb meaning smell--that is, sense odors-is largh. The word for emit a smell is He'. This does not necessarily imply a bad smell. Odors are not considered "good" or "bad"; they are just odors. There may be a subjective evaluation of the source of the odor, however. It is a compliment to suggest that someone smells like *rokeg* blood pie not because the smell itself is good, but rather because the food carries with it positive associations. On the other hand, it is most insulting to say that someone smells like rotting *forshak*.
