Lexember 8:

/'bo.ki/ n hunter-gatherer

Derived from the lative case particle /bo/ and /ki/, a derivational suffix for "person"; basically a person who is "after something". To further differentiate between hunter and gatherer, the object the /boki/ is after must be stated:

/ʔa.bom.hiz-'bo.ki/ n hadrosaurid hunter
/ʔiʔaguhiz-'bo.ki/ n plant gatherer (a fairly general term)

To verbally express the act of hunting or gathering something (for food), the verb /boma/ is used - this is actually one of a series of so-called "locative verbs" which are combinations of a locative particle and the verb ending /ma/ to express movement in relation to the object.

Examples might make this clearer (or confuse more...):

dɛx.dɛx ʔo.su boma
2PL where go.to
“Where are you going?”

sig abomhiz boma-sa sa-mu-mɛ
1PL.EXC hadrosaurid hunt-CVB.QUOTATIVE say-1SG.JUSS PFV
“I wanted to say we hunted hadrosaurids.”* =
“We (unsuccessfully) tried to hunt hadrosaurids…”

ʔelumɛ sig podez boma-bolu
now 1PL.EXC fruit gather-FUT
“...so now we will gather fruit.”
* This is a grammaticalised construction using “sama” (an archaism for “to say”) in the first person jussive mood for saying that somebody wants or needs somebody (in this case, themselves) to do something; the use of the perfective past indicates that it was an unsuccessful attempt.

Lexember 8th - Yélian

òibak/òubac [ˈɔʊ̯bɐk] - barley

Etymology: new root, actually derived from one of my favorite beer brands

No example sentence today, as I closed the browser window shortly before I would have been finished and now I'm frustrated.

Boral

bakilau /ˌbakiˈlo/ [ˌbakɪˈlo] cod, marine fish of the family Gadidae

< Origin contested. Extant from 9C as cabeilau, bacalaw (among other variants), from Middle Dutch (Mi-Loðarian), cf. French cabillaud “cod”. Entered Middle Dutch either from some derivation of baculum “stick, rod”, or else from Basque kabailao “cod”. Formerly assumed to be a direct loan from Basque into Boral – see also other naval/fishing terminology like hagr "mast" – but this is now considered phonetically untenable.

J’oyeu ne Horða il pascn for bakilau.
I heard that in Horthland they only eat cod.

Inaki

jani - offer v tr.


8.

Inaki

čavri - barley n
pælsə - wheat n

Pælsə is an early loan from the inland family, most likely from an early barely diverged variety and not the proto language itself.

Inland family

pelse - wheat n
kun - long adj
pekun - barley n

Pekun is derived from pelse and kun, literally as "long wheat", and it shows a contraction of the initial lexical element into a more or less determinative prefix. The family will never develop a fully functional noun classification system, but there are plenty of these determinative prefixes that have survived into the descendants.

We were gathering wheat in the fields and bringing it to the granary.

kómos - wheat (often used in the plural but translated singular)
*Like in Lihmelinyan, Arculese often uses the unmarked "injunctive" form of the verb if it is the same tense/mood/number as the previous verb and is in the same sentence.

tagtag n 1. seed 2. egg

A rare example of a full-word reduplication, plus one that does not convey a plural sense - the "thing-thing" rather is a thing from which something else grows, that is either a seed or an egg.

It is possible to clarify whether a seed or an egg is meant:

dastagtag n egg

And then there are the food terms:

dastagtagla n egg(s) (as food)
tagtagla n a porridge-like food made from seeds

And there is also a verb:

tagtagma v 1. to plant (seeds), to sow 2. to incubate/ brood over an egg/eggs
