2) Dahmaan is "remember". Taking note of a related word vodahmin "forgotten", vodahmaan is a logical coinage for "forget".

3) "Meritocracy" will have to be formed into a compound. At a first approximation, I suggest relsedun "rule/domination of skill/grace".

4) Ditto for "pragmatic". Canon leaves us on thin ice here; the most useful lexeme is probably kod "wield, employ, make use of".

Give the full sentence for context next time.
