Re: Lexember 2020
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...

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.![:) [:)]](./images/smilies/icon_smile2.png)

Re: Lexember 2020
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...

Re: Lexember 2020
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...

Re: Lexember 2020
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...

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...

Re: Lexember 2020
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...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
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...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
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...

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.

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...

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.
