Ælfwine: I was glad to see you stop by, so to speak, with entries for Gotisch and Pelsodian a few times throughout the month. I appreciated your etymological notes, particularly those showing the influence surrounding cultures have had on Gotisch speakers and their language in Crimea.
Jackk: It's always nice to see more of Boral and its unique aesthetic, but on top of that, I want to show my appreciation for the historical/etymological and phonetic details you include in your entries, as well as the creativity of your words and example sentences! I found details alluding to certain aspects of alternate history or the culture of the speakers, mentioning uncertain etymologies, or pointing to a word's first attestation/original coinage to be particularly interesting. These are the things that, in my opinion, help Boral feel like a real language.
ixals: I don't know if I've seen you mention Elá before, but I certainly like what I've seen of it so far. I like the aesthetic of the language in general and of the name Elá itself. The fact that a number of words were explicitly onomatopoeic in origin stood out to me, as did your creativity in terms of word derivation and coming up with a variety of distinct yet ultimately related senses for a single term.
Corphishy: Something about the general shape of the words you created is rather aesthetically pleasing, I feel, and it was often interesting to compare the phonetic and phonemic transcriptions of a word. Perhaps what stood out the most to me, though, were the references/"Easter eggs", although I'm sure there are some that went over my head.
Linguifex: It was nice to see you around again, even for just a day!
Tuyono: I'm glad to see Źilaa Ruńu again, and to be "introduced" to Akʼaleniw! Are the two related?
VaptuantaDoi: I love what I've seen of Movard and Cartaguinhisi so far! They're aesthetically fascinating in different ways, and I appreciate the creativity you've shown in coming up with individual terms/words as well as examples. Your detailed etymological notes are outstanding! The bits of information included about culture, grammar, and usage are also very interesting.
GoshDiggityDangit: Thanks for your contributions early on! I like the words you came up with: "ember, spark, small flame" and "to understand to comprehend, to make sense of".
KaiTheHomoSapien: I like the overall feel/look of your languages. There's something very familiar about them, even as a priori languages. The Indo-European influence is definitely apparent. I was particularly interesting to compare the words you created for Arculese with your Lihmelinyan entries, as well as what I've seen of that language before.
gokupwned5: Your American English descendent looks very interesting!
Clio: I'm not sure what to call the language you were using, but I'm definitely a fan of the overall look and sound of it: its syllable structure in general as well as the aspirated stops, pharyngealized consonants, long vowels, and geminates. Hopefully we'll get to see more of this language in the future. Additionally, you came up with a number of interesting words throughout the month.
Allekanger: I don't know if I've seen Ivook before, but if not, I'm glad to have been "introduced" to it here. It has a very interesting sound to it, especially when compared to how it's written (the all-caps version), in my opinion. I also want to recognize the fact that you were able to create a number of words for each day's entry!
Iyionaku: I've been seeing Yélian here on the board for years, and I've always been fond of it, but after this past month, I feel like I have a newfound, revitalized appreciation for it, so to speak. There's just something about the orthography and the way it compares to how the language is pronounced that's particularly appealing, and that's far from the only thing. I appreciate the etymological and phonetic details you included in your entries, as well as your example sentences, usage and/or cultural notes, and the variety of creative words you came up with. I like how you sometimes noted both "in-world" etymologies for words, so to speak, and things from our world that inspired them, such as the name of a beer brand giving rise to the word for "barley" or the word for "to explore" being based on "Malaysia". All in all, Yélian feels rather real and well-rounded!
qwed117: I'm very intrigued by the a priori language you used, with its hyphens and all those subscript/superscript symbols. I hope to see more of it in the future, and to learn, for example, how *s₁ is different from *s₂, and how both are different from *s₃! I also want to recognize your dedication to creating more than one word per day. In addition, I think it was a great idea to use Lexember as a way to help build your vocabulary in a natural language as well! I don't think I ever would have thought of that on my own, but I might give it a try for Lexember 2020!
Yrusia: I appreciated your etymological notes, which were especially interesting due to the fact that you were working with two related languages. Additionally, for the first two entries, it was interesting to see how things have changed since the end of 2018! Your thread on this family is still on my list of things here on the board I want to eventually return to, read through, and comment on if I ever have enough free time.
gach: You mentioned near the beginning of the month that you'd never participated in Lexember before, but you certainly did an excellent job! So many of your entries are packed with interesting morphophonological, historical, and cultural information about multiple languages, all of which have unique, pleasing aesthetics.
spanick: Whether you were using your a priori or a posteriori languages - I'm personally fond of all of them - I'm glad you were able to participate throughout the month! I think your Germanic entries were particularly interesting for me this time around because I was able to compare Weddisch with the a posteriori language I was playing around with. I also appreciated the cultural notes you included, such as bits of folklore or statistics about the religious demographics of the world's Weddisch-speaking population.
brblues: I appreciate the notes and examples you included with your entries. Your creativity and the effort you put in are definitely apparent! I really enjoyed working with Proto-Bokisig for the currently ongoing 11th relay, and looking back on your Lexember entries, I feel like I'm able to appreciate them even more now that I've done that.
DesEsseintes: I'm glad you ended up deciding to give Lexember a shot, even if you only had time to do so once or twice. I hope we get to see more of Tèrerjo in the future!
Birdlang: Thanks for jumping in towards the end there. As least as long as it's still December, I'd say it's never too late to get started.
Dormouse559 and Khemehekis: Thanks for stopping by occasionally to comment and show interest in some participants' entries!
