~~~Sì·Uḷìmtumraıá kamut zaḷá·zḷam!~~~
25 days to Halloween!

Kǔulàmàx htuǔlum?
Do y'all have any spooky plans?

Á·Mrızmı·mrıızkǐmı skalı.
It's always been my favorite holiday.

Mızuhìtıu·mırımı kıús ak·tmímazk·amtırraıḳmàma ak·hıḳaxı amìràkk : maras.
I sort of grew up romanticizing the American suburban trick-or-treating experience.

∴Màktasàx kıs : ḷí·s ıs·Kǎtulà KàkàTA·Lumak∴
(I did not experience this as a kid but I did see it in ET: The Extra-Terrestrial.)

Oh! A delightful coincidence. The abbreviation rules applied to the 'star-traveler' compound KATLUMAK2 produce KTAL2. (So 'ET' as a name would be translated as 'Ktala'). KTAL1 happens to mean 'home'. As in 'ET phone...'

My favorite types of spiders are cross spiders and vibrating spiders (Pholcidae). The first, because their nets are so aesthetically beautiful, and the second because they shake so funnily if you touch them!

Our garden and sheds are full of Pholcidae - we call them "daddy-long-legs". They're very cute.

Do you mean harvestmen? I like these too! Sometimes they gather in big piles to warm each other. I find that heartwarming, but my boyfriend would run away screaming.

Off-topic:

@VaptuantaDoi I realized that you translated "daddy-long-legs" pretty literally to your conlang. You might want to be careful with that, because this term in the English language refers to vastly different types of bugs: the big flies (insects) otherwise known as Craneflies, a non-spider arachnid otherwise called harvestman, and the type of spider called vibrating spider or cellar spider. I was referring to the latter; they are usually found in cellars, not in gardens.
Of course, there is no reason to assume that your language couldn't loan translate this from English! I just thought I'll mention it.
Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

I meant these things, although I know "daddy-long-legs" means something else for other people. I don't think we really get harvestmen here.

Yeah, I intended the literal translation cos I was referring to what I call them in English. The Vissard would probably normally call them tipules, in line with French. And you're right, they're not really in the garden, they're mostly on walls and sheltered plant pots. There's also quite a few inside, and I'm sure there's some under the house even though we don't have a real cellar. Basically they're everywhere.
