I enjoyed being introduced to this language, so to speak, over the course of the month. I quite like the look of it! As a side note, I've also been reminded that I don't believe I'm "caught up" with the material you've posted about Lihmelinyan. Thanks shimo [:D] That's my fault because I've present...

31st

ápīr - masc. - year

Cf. Lihmelinyan hékuēr

Well that about wraps it up. I'm proud I was able to do this! 31 Arculese words. In the new year I may present an entirely new conlang.

I really have loved seeing Arculese and Lihmelinyan over the last four weeks. It's a really interesting language. As I've mentioned before the aesthetics remind me of other languages, but yet it still manages to make its own flavour, like in dáikīr and siókei . Creating a language with its own "fla...

For some reason vépos distinctly reminds me of Finnish and Estonian, so I think it's pretty cool that it's primarily used in the allative. I love the mix of aesthetics this language is developing. I remember when I first introduced Lihmelinyan, you said the name sounded Finnish/Estonian. (It does b...

16th bantáris - dinner, supper, meal (in general) Bantáris is the biggest meal of the day and would usually be eaten in the early afternoon as opposed to the evening. It can refer to both the occasion and the food itself. Contrasted with ábris , "breakfast, lunch", which is a lighter meal eaten earl...

Thanks as always for the commentary, Qwed [:)] It motivates me to continue. I haven't developed any kinship terms for Arculese yet, so here are a couple: 13th tān - masc . - son This archaic word is an n-stem masculine noun (underlyingly tan-s). The word appears in Lihmelinyan as well but also in th...

10th sórgīn - masc . - valley A sórgīn (pronounced /'sɔr.çiːn/) is a wide, open valley (cf. Lihmelinyan sárgēn ) as opposed to a small or narrow river valley. The "Vale of Arculis" from which the region of Arculy derives its name is natively called the Sórgīn Arkuleís. 11th álgāti - ā-stem . v . - ...

8th sárinth - masc . - lily I've posited that Arculese contains an -nth noun suffix similar to the "Aegean" substrate in Greek that's the source of words like labyrinth, Corinth, etc. 9th álpos - masc . - bear This word is an "Easter egg" in that it's derived from what should be the Greek descendan...

I really like the word thássos because it has a similar aesthetic to Greek thalassa, yet at the same time, it's clearly different in given its derivational use in Kumathássā. It's also really interesting to share the metaphorical use of 'young'.[/spoiler] Thanks for the support Qwed [:)] I knew I w...

Thanks guys [:D] I am planning on a larger inventory than usual for this one. I was thinking of maybe some sandhi rules and putting a little more effort into the "proto-language", which I haven't really attempted before. That should at least help make it a little more than the basic get-it-out-of-th...

How do you guys make your phonology more interesting and/or complex? Phonology has always been a weak point in my conlangs. The phonological inventories are small, the rules are few, and the pronunciation could be learned in 2 minutes. I don't necessarily want complexity for complexity's sake, but I...

2nd

thássos - green

As in English, thássos can metaphorically mean "young".
Kumathássā - surname, "green hill"

Bonus word:

thánnis - ivory (noun), off-white, ivory-colored (adjective)
Cf. Thannicort (Thannikórtom), capital of Arculy, lit. "ivory tower".

I decided that I am going to really try and use Arculese for Lexember so I can develop this language further. I haven't even posted a thread for it yet, but I might as well start with a Lexember. Maybe this will motivate me to actually post a thread for it soon. [:)] 1st írkanom - neut . - shoulder ...

Sorry you're feeling demoralized, Qwed. I'm having trouble finding creative motivation as well. I've fallen behind in the novel I'm working on and I've done almost no conlanging in the past few months. It's disappointing to think I won't participate in Lexember either, but it's looking that way so f...

I like reading these updates. And considering that I was only 16 when I posted my original answer to this question and I'm now 20, I figure it's time for an update: Alias(es) : Kai. I'm "KaiTheHuman" on a few sites. Location : Bay Area, California (grew up in Napa Valley, attend college in the Bay, ...

Getting ready for NaNoWriMo this year. Personally I always struggle get above 2 pages a day, so I'm intimidated by the ~1700 words per day I will need. Anyone done NaNo in the past? I've never completed NaNoWriMo, but I've attempted it twice and both times allowed to get started on a significant no...

Te sárdami rin zábresi. Zábre mélgin Lihmelīnyās!

Literally: I understand not what you say. Speak the tongue of Lihmelinya!

Well, so...back to the topic

The Dákrā Sea is named after my childhood mishearing of "aristocracy" as the name of a body of water: the Eris Dakra Sea. lol. There's nothing particularly aristocratic about this body of water, but that is its name nonetheless.

^This just makes me feel that my own dreams are so very mundane. But even then I can differentiate between a few dream types. One, the most common, that take place in familiar locations or what I recognize to be familiar locations (my house, my school, my vacation home, my grandparents' house, my ne...

I had a language-related dream last night. I was in high school and observing an awards ceremony. One student received an award for solving this complicated word problem but it was revealed he hadn't actually finished it. I took a look at the sheet, thinking maybe I could solve it. The assignment wa...
