.

, bone.
Do not be anxious, everything will end well.
- on gives the whole word, and it is one of the neater arguments for how Esperanto is built: no separate root for anxious, no irregular pair to memorise. The thing worried about takes , so . Add -- for i, to make somebody uneasy, and -- for i, to grow uneasy, and you have the full set. It sits a shade lighter than , which is real fear; is the low background hum of worry rather than the alarm.
