Of or relating to death or a funeral; funereal.

aggettivo

  1. 1

    Of or relating to death or a funeral; funereal.

    The leftwise action aims at what drifts out of the nunka domain of the nefarious. Similarly for mortuary arrangements, what is leftwise is more momentous than what is rightwise.
