*Classification:* Wealth Word, Blessing Word, Soft Money

*PRIMARY DEFINITION:*
Livamora (noun): *Soft, rich, blessed money that comes with peace.*

It is not hard hustle money, not blood money, not stress money. Livamora is money that flows gently, stays long, grows quietly, and brings honor to your family. It builds a house, not noise.

*RESPECT TO ALL LANGUAGES:*
Livamora does not replace any language. It stands alongside Blomora, Ubuntu, as our Skamelian contribution to the world.

*USAGE:*
- _I don't want fast money, I want Livamora._
- _His business is blessed with Livamora, it grows every year._
- _That tender is not Livamora, it has too much noise._
