Bésim

Bésim /besɪm/ is a man in his late teens. Whose name is from the Old Lelic bésim tac meaning 'guided task (from bési 'sureful of direction' + -m which is gender agreement on the adjective + tac'' 'task') which was an ironic word for a task that seems simple but it really easy to mess up. This relates to Bésim as once he was rowing down a large river in a canoe, an everyday task for the Lericnaté, when all of a sudden a storm struck and rain fell heavily which caused the river to burst its banks. This caused the river to temporarily join with another, which Bésim found himself in by accident, that river was too fierce for Bésim to row against and it took him far, far away. The storm was so rough that it bounced him around in his canoe and hit his head so hard he got knocked out. He ended up washing ashore in Pwrina territory on the banks of a small river, he awoke to find his canoe smashed up and useless, and also a slender dog sniffing at him, followed by his limping master who helped Bésim up. He attempted to communicate with the man but neither knew each others language so their conversation was a short one. The limping shepherd gave Bésim some food and water and sent him on his way. Without his boat Bésim had to walk back home, though he didn't know any place that wasn't the Lelic marshlands so he attempted to backtrack the small river he washed up in. It was a long and tough journey which took many days and nights. But eventually he found his way home where he could finally laugh at his ordeal in hindsight
