neyanç vert /niˈjanʦ vɛʀt/ [nɪˈjanʦ vɛːt] green snowfall
< Phrase attested since at least 1292. First word is synchronically neyar "to snow" plus the gerundive -anç, from Late Latin nivat "it snows" (a regularisation of Classical Latin ningit) and the nominalising suffix -antia, respectively. Second word descended from Latin viridis "green, lively".
Refers to the first snowfall of the year (that is, on or after the first of March), if there is one. Years with a green snowfall are generally considered unlucky, as a symptom of a long and bitter preceding winter.

Re: Lexember 2019
Hmm, so did Movard change the stress/vowel length on the name? In Latin, Stephanus has antepenultimate stress, and the Romance reflexes all descend from that.
For a while, it had a cognate in Silvish, but I dropped it for something more French. Now ninhi is all alone.VaptuantaDoi wrote:ninhi comes from L nimiē "excessively," which has no other descendants in Romance languages.

Re: Lexember 2019
Yes, the stress was changed irregularly early on due to confusion with other names ending in -ānus with penultimate stress (Romānus, Hadriānus, Alānus, Jūstīniānus, Traiānus, Urbānus) and was interpreted as meaning "of Stepha." The same thing happened with Cristovan /kʁiːtoˈvan/ (rather than *cristoevn /kʁiːˈtoːn/) from VL Christóphanus (tbh I made this mistake myself which is why it's in there).Dormouse559 wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019 00:22Hmm, so did Movard change the stress/vowel length on the name?

It's only because the cognate in the Eastern Dialect (ninhi /niɲi/) has final /i/ rather than /uː/ in the masculine nominative that precludes an etymology in nimius, which has a few descendants. It could also come from the plural of the first masculine being reanalysed as a singular of the second.Dormouse559 wrote: ↑27 Dec 2019 00:22For a while, it had a cognate in Silvish, but I dropped it for something more French.

Movard
esçieptiquen /ɛsɛːˈtikɛn/ [əseˑˈtikə̃] adv. Very much, very, extremely; earlier 'excessively,' 'too much.' MM estieptiquente "unbelievably," an adverb regularly formed from estieptique; OM esceptique, attested from 14th century with the meaning "sceptical," later "incredulous," "disbelieving"; borrowed from Mediaeval L scepticus, in turn from AG σκεπτῐκός (skeptĭkós).

kijwōkī /ˈkid͡ʒwoːkiː/ (n.) (mythical) beast, monster, (fearsome) critter, (legendary, mythical) creature, cryptid
- From Proto-AY *ḳā̀yč̣- "to be unfamiliar" + *ğʷàwk- "beast, dangerous animal"
- A broad class of beings present in traditional folklore
- Creatures of this type can generally be described as animals that, according to science, do not exist, although some are more bizarre and implausible than others
- Such creatures are alleged to live underwater, deep in the woods, underground, above the clouds, or high up in the mountains
- In many ways, they are simply thought of as animals that most people are unlikely to ever encounter simply because of their typical habitats
- These creatures are not seen as benevolent or malevolent, as they are not generally thought to be more civilized or intelligent than mundane animals
- Additionally, individual beasts are thought to be members of larger "species", so to speak, as opposed to unique, solitary entities
- Nevertheless, these creatures are viewed as somehow fundamentally different from cows, birds, snakes, fish, and other mundane animals
- According to some, these creatures simply constitute one type of əjmītuyyi ("animal spirit")
- However, for most believers, an əjmītuyyi is an intelligent spirit with an individual identity that protects a type of mundane animal and/or takes on the form of a slightly anthropomorphic one, whereas a kijwōkī is a member of a "species" of similar creatures all lacking human-level intelligence
- Still, while not supernaturally powerful beings on par with spirits, let alone gods, these creatures are distinctly paranormal or preternatural
- Despite the various "species" believed to exist, there are a few qualities generally ascribed to all creatures of this kind, although most of these are commonly described as "rather convenient" by skeptics
- According to legend, these creatures are said to have some sort of natural instinct to keep themselves hidden from human beings, and although they eat, sleep, and reproduce like mundane animals, they are believed to have a strange relationship with death, either being immortal or not leaving physical bodies behind
- In addition, visual encounters with such beasts are thought to bring good luck, bad luck, or a rush of some emotion, depending on the type of creature
- In folktales, it is almost universally portrayed as inadvisable for regular people to attempt to interact with a legendary creature more directly, let alone harm one

"giving" definitely was chosen for its seasonal relevance, so to speak, but "food" and "emotion" were really just chosen because they're fairly broad categories (leaving room for creativity) that people generally talk about a lot (hopefully making them useful for vocabulary-building). I was actually trying to avoid seasonal inspiration, at least for the past two weeks, but now that you've brought it up, I can see where you're coming from.Khemehekis wrote: ↑17 Dec 2019 06:56 A thought: A lot of Lexember's weekly themes have centered around December and the holidays, like "Giving" or "Food".
I can't say I'm familiar with them, and I wasn't expecting any requests, so to speak, but unless anyone who's been participating/is planning to participate has any objections, I'll definitely consider it, if I don't end up including it in next week's theme somehow. "music" is a fairly broad, useful topic.Khemehekis wrote: ↑17 Dec 2019 06:56 Considering that there's an indie rock band named the Decemberists, do you suppose we could make the theme for the last three days of December "Music"?

Inaki
ãŋə, bone n
aŋsə/ãŋsə, divine v
The verb for "divine" is derived from the noun ãŋə for "bone" due to a practice of divining from small pieces of animal bones. In the later practices both tossing the bones and bouncing them on a drum membrane are attested. The standard form of the derived verb is aŋsə since the verbaliser suffix -sə overrides the stem final ə and the resulting consonant cluster -ŋs- turns the preceding syllable into a closed one. In proto Inaki there was an active morphophonetic rule banning long vowels from closed syllables, hence the short vowel in the verb stem. However, this rule didn't stay active for too long and there also exist later forms that seem to descend from a stem variant ãŋsə that would have had a long vowel. In these cases the old derived word was re-derived at a somewhat later time, using the exact same morphological material but now bypassing the defunct sound rule.
Inland family
fa, in front of prep
fesa, front/future n
kein, do v itr.
kVfesa, divine v itr.
The noun fesa for "front/future" is derived from the preposition fa using the participle infix -es-. It seems thus that at an earlier stage the Inland prepositions were fairly verblike. This was not the case anymore at the proto language stage and the noun stem was again verbalised using the prefix kV-, derived from the verb kein, "do". This became a general verbaliser, akin to -sə in Inaki, and is most typically attested as simply k- in the later Inland languages.

Inaki
šæjsa, "ring, enclosed or encircled sacred space"
This word appears with both mundane and religious meanings in the later Inaki languages, often both at the same time. The motivation behind the long lasting active double meaning is that the dedicated sacred spaces are in the Inaki traditions predominantly demarcated by a physical and often deliberately constructed limit helping to separate the sacred from the mundane.

However, this rule didn't stay active for too long and there also exist later forms that seem to descend from a stem variant ãŋsə that would have had a long vowel. In these cases the old derived word was re-derived at a somewhat later time, using the exact same morphological material but now bypassing the defunct sound rule.
Inland family
fa, in front of prep
fesa, front/future n
kein, do v itr.
kVfesa, divine v itr.
The noun fesa for "front/future" is derived from the preposition fa using the participle infix -es-. It seems thus that at an earlier stage the Inland prepositions were fairly verblike. This was not the case anymore at the proto language stage and the noun stem was again verbalised using the prefix kV-, derived from the verb kein, "do". This became a general verbaliser, akin to -sə in Inaki, and is most typically attested as simply k- in the later Inland languages.
27.
Inaki
šæjsa, "ring, enclosed or encircled sacred space"
This word appears with both mundane and religious meanings in the later Inaki languages, often both at the same time. The motivation behind the long lasting active double meaning is that the dedicated sacred spaces are in the Inaki traditions predominantly demarcated by a physical and often deliberately constructed limit helping to separate the sacred from the mundane.
