Another 25 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 used for words of disgust; spit.
k =  Hard consonants might be used for words of anger.  ???

Without further ado, the next 25 words:

1. rain = wəəm /wuh-uhm/
   
2. river = wəwəw /wuh-woh/
   
3. lake = wəyə /wuh-yuh/
   
4. sea = məw /moh/
5. salt = θəwθəəm /thohth-uh-uhm/
   
6. stone = yəθθəwθ /yuhth-thohth/
   
7. sand = θəmθ /thuhmth/
8. dust = θəθə /thuhth-uh/
   
9. earth = əwθ /ohth/
   
10. cloud = məmwəθ /muhm-wuhth/
    
11. fog = wəy /woy/
12. sky = θəy /thoy/
    
13. wind = wəmθ /wuhmth/
