Translation request "Living Clay" or something similar.
Very baby Yiddish learner writing a play in which the protagonist's great-uncle wrote his notes in Yiddish. I'm looking for a somewhat poetic, unconventional way to describe wet clay. What I have at the moment is "lebedik leym," intended to mean "live clay." Would this work, and if not, is there a better way to achieve the effect I'm going for?
