Next 25 Words of 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. see = wəθyəw /wuhth-yoh/
   
2. hear = əθyəw /uhth-yoh/
   
3. know = θəyəw /thuh-yoh/

6. fear = θəməw /thuhm-oh/
   
7. sleep = θəmməθ /thuhm-mohth/
   
8. live = wəwə /wuh-wuh/
   
9. die = məwθəw /moh-thoh/
