Perishable

PERISHABLE. The same: There's no translation of this adjective or what? 

"Perish" is "Saluk", so, what about "Perishable"?

The word saluk means closer to "die" than "spoil" or "decay," as the English word "perishable" implies. A better root might be liiv "to wither." From there the closest equivalent to "perishable" might be visliiv, literally "witherable," "able to wither or decay."
