Lexember 2nd

beren [ˈbeːɾən] - interest (on money)
Etymology: New root, could be related to abar "wood"
Usage note: Unlike in English, beren is countable (plural beran). Like all nouns related to money, it's in the inanimate class, not the conceptual one.

I always feel like I don't have a good language for Lexember, since I'm largely an a posteriori conlanger, or a diachroniclanger, but since I do need to get started on that massive world project, I figure I best start making some proto-words. Since I have not yet fallen asleep, even though it's December 2nd, technically, I'll call it Day 1 of Lexember. By the end of this I may have added 465 496 words total over all my lexicons, not necessarily just *s₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o. I'll also count grammatical elements as Lexember quantities, just to make it easier.

On the first day of Lexember, my true love gave to me...

*beːn̥- n. wood, beam, support, aid, structure

I also feel like I should do more learning Sardinian, so I guess I'll give one word a day on that too

:it-sa" oru nm hem, border, from Latin *ōrula, or ōra

Y²KS ...

Yay! Nice to see Y2 in action again. It’s got such a pleasant aesthetic. I know it’s mere coincidence due to the root, but the Arabic influence is coming through especially strongly thanks to all those initial ma- me- syllables.

Oh wait. Should I participate in Lexember? I always fail...

Thank you so much! I've been working on it all year in what little free time I've had, and I plan to at least give a small update in the thread soon. I definitely see what you mean about the influence from Arabic here. mafḫērī "given; recipient" especially has that kind of feel to it, at least for me, maybe because of the part in the middle that sounds like "خير". If it were mafḫarī, I might be tempted to interpret it as a noun of place derived from some root ف-خ-ر and with a 1s possessive suffix.

I'd encourage you to give it a try! It could still be fun/useful even if you don't have time to make it a daily routine.

Elá

ʔuhé /ʔuˈhə/ - onomatopoeia
1.) to cough, single instance of coughing
2.) throat

[Yrusia]

Somehow it's been a full year since last Lexember, huh? I'm still working on the same lang's but they've been through some changes - I think for the first few days I'm going to reuse the same derivations as last year, but with my updated sound changes:
Lexember 1 2018: ce3nao3pu1 'king, absolute monarch, emperor'
from Proto-Takur *déene 'one', + *opódd(é) 'man'
Borrowed into Gízker as tsenaapó 'emperor'

Lexember 1 2019: Old Tuoken (Estuôźí Gé'ne)
diêneofdí /tie˥˩no˨fti˦/ 'king, (male) monarch'
from Proto-Takur *déene 'one', + *opódd(é) 'man'
Borrowed into Gétkerna as téinofté 'emperor'

> Tuoken
tièneǒt /tie˨neo˩˥θ/ 'king, chief, patriarch'

Lexember 2 2018: ikábtishé 'to dry up'
From Proto-Takur *es, nominalizing prefix + *kóbtes 'dry'

Lexember 2 2019: Gétkerna
kattesh-/kattezh- 'to dry (trans and intrans)'
From Proto-Takur *kóbtes 'dry'. See also Gétkerna káttesh 'dry', Tuoken kótǎt 'oven'

[gach]

Well, why not. I've never participated in these before, but I could use an excuse to fill in proto forms for my various families.


1.

Inaki

særnə, help n
sæŋki, help v tr.

The verb stem sæŋki involves the deletion of the root final /ə/ before the causative suffix -ki and the subsequent simplification of the consonant cluster through the deletion of the liquid /r/ and the POA assimilation of the nasal. All of these are active morphophonological processes in Proto Inaki.

Sei

c'aał, help v tr.

Inland family

baqe, help v tr.
besaqe, help n
bawqe, helped, helping etc. (generic participle)
dVbawqe, helper, servant n

The morphological elements added to the root baqe include the verbal noun infix -es- in besaqe, the generic participle infix -w(V)- in bawqe, and the quasiclassificatory human prefix dV- in the action nominal bVdawqe, differentiating it from the base participle form. I haven't specified the quality of the vowel in this prefix since that won't be preserved in any later branch of the family. The concept of the generic participle is a bit vague, the basic idea being that its base meaning will evolve in different directions in the different decendants.


2.

Sei

sɨɨn, give v tr.

Inland family

fei, give v tr.
feseim, gift n

The noun derivation feseim is based on the verbal noun, using the infix -es-, and adding the resultative suffix -m to this.

[Clio]

2nd Lexember

'immuha /ʔimːuha/ n gratitude, thankfulness; willingness to give praise; sexual passivity

[KaiTheHomoSapien]

2nd

Arculese

Arculese shares many lexemes with Lihmelinyan, but is more traditionally IE in its phonology and some function words. It's very much an experiment.

fēnumi - "I help" /'feː.nu.mi/

afēnumi tágon sáyetum vorépon mínon. /a.'feː.nu.mi 'ta.xɔn 'sa.je.tum 'vɛ.kʷan 'mi.nɔn/

"I was helping the man find a new house"

veif ag eseinvl /vai̯ aː ɛsai̯mv/ [vɐe̯ ˈaː əˈzai̯mb] vb. To share water together; to become intimate with or close to. The Middle Movard beive aâ eseimle is attested.

Cartaguinhisi

absouvr /abˈsuvʀ̩/ [ɐbˈzuvɐ] to acquit, to redeem, to absolve

tort dell’ivan /ˌtɔʀt deliˈvan/ [ˌtɔːdɪlɪˈvaŋ] Christmas pie*
*literally “infant’s pie”, in reference to the Christ child. Refers either to a specific savoury pie or to any of the pastry dishes traditionally prepared for the Christmas Eve feast (y Fest Reveglon), a celebration held in churches across Borland (Isr Boral). The practice of scoring a Catholic cross into the lid and hiding a small wooden object inside (traditionally also a cross) is a later innovation, but compare the French galette des rois.
< Old Boral torte del ifan “child’s pie” (first attested 10C), from Latin torta panis “twisted bread” and īnfāns, īnfāntem “child, infant”.

Y justiçour absoloirn my grandmaðr poll’ig delit a blastmant.
