{i} kangaroo (Australian informal term)

Opposite of; undo Raja has not yet given us much information regarding this verb suffix, so as of yet, it is unclear whether this suffix is merely a way to express that someone is not doing something, or if it means someone is clearly doing the opposite of the verb to which it is attached For example, would adding this suffix to the verb vov follow to create vovroo mean that the subject of the sentence is merely not following the object, or that the subject is "un-following," in essence, leading the subject, rather than following Until Raja tells us more about -roo, it is suggested that students of Dezorian resist becoming too comfortable with it for risk of using it improperly

Quintana Roo

State (pop., 2000: 874,963), eastern Yucatán Peninsula, southeastern Mexico. It has an area of 19,397 sq mi (50,212 sq km), and its capital is Chetumal. The region was used as a place of exile for political prisoners for many years. Originally created as a territory from parts of Yucatán and Campeche states, it became a state in 1974. It is the site of many Maya ruins. Its main products are chicle (for chewing gum) and a small amount of copra (for producing coconut oil); the latter is produced on the coast near the island of Cozumel (where Hernán Cortés landed in 1519), which is now a popular tourist destination
