  akavunṭ eken log avuṭ venavā

  to log out

Why it looks that way

Here the 'out' is never swallowed — without it you'd get 'log in'. The ending -en on the first word gives 'from'

A word with a story stays in memory longer than one learned as a “spelling — translation” pair: memory holds on to meaning, not to a string.

In a live sentence

A single word almost never appears alone in conversation. A sentence shows where it fits and what stands next to it.

How not to forget this word

Reading a word and remembering it are different jobs. A day later, little survives of a single reading — and that is not bad memory, that is how memory works.
