25 More Words in θəwəməθy (DeRamosh), a #NewLanguage

We're using the Swadesh list to come up with the first 207 words or so in DeRamosh.  Before we start, here are the letters of this new language's alphabet:  ə θ w y m (þ k).

ə = All vowels are schwas.
θ = th sound.
w = w sound.
y = consonant-y sound.
m = m sound.

þ = Plosives are rarely used (only for curse words); spit.
Hard consonants, like k, are currently in limbo.

Without further ado, the next 25 words:

1. tree = θwəə /thwuh-uh/
   
2. forest = wəwəθ /woh-uhth/
   
3. stick = θəθθ /thuhth/
