CBB Lexicon Building

Post by Void »

Edit: (Original description) The idea is this. One person posts a word in their conlang, and then a word/concept for the next person to translate. The next person translates that word, and it keeps on going.

pxinjâya [pxɪnˈdzaːja]

1. essence, spirit, pith, quintessence
2. principle, rudiments, essentials
3. chemical element
4. basic component

Next: think-tank

Edit: Split from the first CBB Lexicon Building thread. -Aevas, 2020-05-07

Corphishy recommends building a word for "pungeant, piquant"

ɛ̄sidzur /ɛːsiʣur/
stative verb 1. to be intensely smelly

Derived from: ɛ̄sidz /ɛːsiʣ/ "to be smelly, to have a smell", and hur /hur/ "intense"

Next word: shapely, having a pronounced shape or form, being recognizable firstly by shape/form.
