Noun edit
orgojlo (accusative singular orgojlon, plural orgojloj, accusative plural orgojlojn)

- Synonym: fierego

Usage notes edit
Like French orgueil but unlike its cognates in other languages, such as Italian orgoglio, orgojlo carries negative connotations of arrogance and vanity. The synonym fiereco is used for the positive senses.
