hot - heits
south(ward) - adv. sunthr
north(ern) - adj. naurths  (adv. = ? naurthr)
on - ana (et al.)
off - ab (et al.)
feel - ? you have to name what exactly is felt, i think, or use words to
mean touch (tekan) or think (hugjan, munan, thugkjan, frathjan etc.)
feelings - sense is 'frathi' or 'gahugds' - again, not common modern
usage.
close - galukan (verb to close), adj. (near, tight) lukns, adv. nehw(a)
finish - ustiuhan
blue - not attested. ? *blews
gray - (adj) grews, greiseis, hasws, falws; (n) hawi
brown - (adj) bruns
yellow - not attested. but yellowish, pale (grayish) = falws. use golden
(gultheins) or red (ruths) or bright (bairhts) perhaps.

it really requires one to think differently about domains of meaning and
  examine one's idioms and ways of expression in comparison with those of
gothic.
