semantic space · lipamanka
akesi are creatures. they tend to be cold to the touch. When they move quickly, they go back and forth on sprawling legs or slither or squirm back and forth across the ground if they lack legs. They're close to the ground. They usually lay eggs. The contents of this semantic space is based off of a pilot study I conducted with sample size 98 about the lexical semantics of akesi. I might publish the paper I wrote about it if enough people bother me.

akesi used to mean "non-cute animal," and is defined this way in pu, but this definition has fallen out of use and was later removed in the pu annotations published with ku.
