Trikutak

Trikutak is the name of a type of tall-growing grass native to Lyzots, specifically in regions that border but are not within the vast Tasar Jungle. It is visually indistinguishable from more typical and common species of grass, the most obvious difference being that in places where trikutak grows, the air is noted to smell "sweet". Particularly on windy days, this smell can be carried for miles around and is known to persist all the more fervently when it is especially humid. Fabric can easily catch the smell of trikutak and have it remain until washed.
The name trikutak is said to come from a Tasaramar phrase, tritta kwekku takti, meaning "the wind brings corpses," as this grass is said to only grow in places where bodies are buried and the sweet smell disguises the scent of decaying flesh, but can lead perceptive individuals to hastily-dug shallow graves.
