Solura

In the realm of human emotions, there’s a quiet joy that comes from knowing satisfaction is on its way—a blend of anticipation, hope, and peaceful expectation. English lacks a precise word for this, which is why Solura (pronounced /səˈlʊrə/) was created.

Solura is a noun describing the serene anticipation of future contentment. Derived from sol (evoking warmth and light) and the soft, fluid suffix -ura, it suggests the gentle, inevitable arrival of something good. The verb form, solurate (/səˈlʊreɪt/), means to actively experience this state of calm expectancy.

The word was crafted with sound symbolism in mind, inspired by the Bouba-Kiki effect—favoring soft, rounded sounds to reflect the emotion’s smooth and peaceful nature. Unlike restless or impatient anticipation, Solura is gentle, grounded in the certainty that fulfillment is near.

What makes Solura unique is its dual nature: it captures both a present state and a future promise. It differs from “hope,” which may carry doubt, or “impatience,” which implies urgency. Solura fills a gap in our emotional vocabulary, offering a word for the warm, confident sense that joy is just around the corner.

Dratune

Just as Solura captures the warm anticipation of future satisfaction, its emotional opposite also exists: the quiet dread of what’s to come. To express this negative form of anticipation, the word Dratune (pronounced /dræˈtju n/) was created.

Dratune is a noun describing the tension, unease, or anxiety that arises when anticipating an unpleasant outcome. Its sharper, more abrupt sound reflects the jagged emotional quality of this experience, contrasting the soft, flowing feel of Solura. The verb form, dratuneate, means to actively experience this state of discomfort about the future.

Like Solura, Dratune was crafted with sound symbolism in mind. Where Solura evokes calm with its gentle tones, Dratune conveys tension through its harsher, clipped sounds—ideal for describing moments when one is bracing for bad news or discomfort.

For example:
• As the deadline loomed, he felt a growing dratune, knowing the project was incomplete.
• She sat in silence, dratuneating as she waited for the test results, fearing the worst.

Dratune offers a precise word for a common but often unspoken feeling: the emotional weight of anticipating dissatisfaction. It serves as a linguistic counterpart to Solura, completing a spectrum of emotional anticipation.

• A heavy sense of dratune settled over him as he reread the email from his boss.
