It could be good to have a special word if we mean the disc as you 
say. What I ment was more like a light around a person, maybe smth 
like the new age people believes in.

Your suggestions are good if we talk about an independent state (as I 
did). But if we want words for the verb to depend.
E.g. in mathematics y depends on x in a function.

I like this to, so I'm gonna use it.
Maybe we don't need a special word for 'idyll' and 'idyllic' but 
instead use a word with similar meaning as you did.
I like to be very correct when translating so I tried to invent words 
for idyll and patriarchat, and the adjectives to them.
Idyll = frithuhlasei (cf. icel. friðsæll)
patriarchate = fadruwaldufni.

I thought of this word but wasnt sure. But now I am.

Couldn't this be misstaken for weapon gear in a sentence?
Are your sure it's a wa-stem? Could be like sarw and a-st.??
