Dormouse559:
The words look beautiful, and the sentences themselves are interesting with ablaut/infixing and allophony. I definitely want to see more of this language.

Thank you! Nothing like a stress-conditioned alternation in the morning.

I'm afraid the infixing might be a glossing illusion. Lots of nouns and adjectives end in these suffixes (-i and -ra/za/sa) that correspond to part of speech. But they're a pain to gloss in context because they kind of act like part of a stem, but then they can be separated from the root by case affixes. And then they interact with grammar sometimes, because of the plural being a grammaticalized derivation. I just throw up my hands and assume they're part of the root

Anywho, your Hlai-langs are looking quite cool, too. Your /hl/ reflexes are super imaginative.

4. (informal) workaholic, someone with a single-minded dedication to their occupation
5. (informal) animal whisperer, someone skilled at interacting with animals in some way
pêu /pew˦˥˧/ (comparative pêu ma /pew˦˥˧ ma˧/)
Adjective:
1. canine, pertaining to dogs or other canids
2. dog-like
3. (informal) anxious, paranoid, on guard, on edge
4. (informal) obsessed (with work)

moer /ˈmuːr/ (plural moeren /ˈmuːrən/)
Noun:
1. carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus)
2. wild carrot (Daucus carota)
3. parsnip (Pastinaca sativa)

I was hoping I'd have time this weekend to finally go back and add example sentences to at least some of my previous posts, but that hasn't worked out. Maybe next week!

Edit: Examples added on December 19th, 2020.

True -- Silvish is spoken in modern times, for instance.

Even in this thread, I believe Jackk's Boral is as well. I'm not sure about qwed117's a posteriori Hlai language, though.

Although it looks as if Thedish may be in its own subbranch of Germanic?

Well, it's definitely meant to be West Germanic. If it were a real language, it would likely be classified as Ingvaeonic/North Sea Germanic, possibly even Anglo-Frisian. However, I am deriving it directly from reconstructed Proto-Germanic, rather than any attested "Old" West Germanic language like Old English, Old Frisian, Old Saxon, Old Dutch, or Old High German.

I really like the language, especially the fact that you provide multiple definitions for the words, which feels more naturalistic than my 'one word, one definition' scheme. I also like that you have a sort of etymology for the word. It makes it feel like a natural language entry. Also, it's nice to see a Southeast Asian-inspired language

Thank you! Although, I'm sure "one word, one definition" makes things go a lot quicker when it comes time to post here, and it leaves plenty of room for elaboration, so to speak, in the future.

As I said on the first day, I'm a fan of both of your Hlai-based languages. It's nice to see more of *S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u as well, of course, and I'm impressed and glad to see that you're keeping up with Sardinian.

Lexember 6th

Unnamed A-Priori Hlai-lang
sêkw3-ang2 /sɛːkʷ˧˩˥aŋ˥/ v. to go to

*S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u
*s₃ajt-o n. claw, paw, nail, toe


Unnamed A-Posteriori Hlai-lang
kok˥ n bald from Proto-Hlai *hŋuːk 'white hair' cf. Bouhin ŋuːʔ7 Lauhut kuːk7 Zandui kʰuaʔ7
The lowering of /uː/ to /o/ is unique to UAPsHL, I think as a larger shift in the language away from long vowels. Not quite sure what made me do this, other than a general fear of vowels. The vowel changes ultimately aren't too apparent, and instead most of the differential is concentrated in the initial consonants. I wish I committed more so to making the vowels weird rather than doing this half effort. Glad that I've grown (I think?) in the last three years.

Sardinian
trigu nm. wheat from Latin TRITICUM, alternate forms tridigu, tridicu and tricu indicate that a borrowing from Iberian Romance's syncopated form *trigo. is unlikely. cf. Old Portuguese triigo, Spanish trigo, Javanese trigu 'wheat flour'

Posche chenare, mandhighesi unu biscotu frissu de trigu
After eating dinner, I ate a fried wheat cracker

It's still pretty cool, even if it isn't really infixing. There's always a billion options for how to analyse it, and I'm sure the native linguists would have their many arguments for and against.

And thanks about the Hlai-langs. The reflexes of /hl/ were not something I immediately noticed when I threw the proto-words and the sound changes into the SCA2. I guess me from 3 years ago (last edit was in November 2017) was far more adventurous and linguistically interesting than I took him for. At least with the proto-Hlai initials. I presume he, like me today, was utterly confused and confounded by vowels. I think that much is well evidenced in the sound changes (which differ from modern Hlai languages in exceedingly few words).

True -- Silvish is spoken in modern times, for instance.

Even in this thread, I believe Jackk's Boral is as well. I'm not sure about qwed117's a posteriori Hlai language, though.

For what it's worth, my intention was that the a posteriori Hlai language is spoken in the modern-day world; however, since the documentation on the Hlai language's syntax and vocabulary beyond the reconstructed terms is distinctly lacking, it is difficult for me to fill it with modern vocabulary (unless I decide to borrow heavily from Hainanese Min, Pinghua, and Yue). As a result, the vocabulary is much more similar to an medieval language than a modern one.

I spend so much time agonizing over one definition sometimes that it surely feels better that I'm not agonizing over four or five, certainly! I do already have on my mind idioms, for example <raw4 zhèw3> 'wearing a body' will probably mean being naked, or something. Thanks for the kind remarks on my Hlai-based languages. It's definitely a good exercise for me after being very demotivated with conlanging. I was talking through a linguistics friend on it, and I realized that it's been the most 'fun' I've had in a while. I ultimately made a sentence with an interlinear gloss (using some nonce words though) for them, and I felt good writing it. Writing words for *S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u is starting to get tricky, because I don't really know what words to add that don't make the vocabulary advanced-beyond-reconstruction, but there's still gaps here and there, so I have to think hard on this. It might even be useful to start making more definite rules as to compounding or derivation now, but I still want to add a few words here and there. And with Sardinian, my decision to work on Sardinian comes in short bursts, so it's good for me to take that energy and try and force myself to spread it out over a month. At least that way, it's not like a thing I start and then stop and ignore for time eternal (like Sardinian Memrise lessons )

[Iyionaku]

As a wrap up of week 1, I'm just gonna give some appreciative comments to everyone who participated

Thanks for the wrap up! While I use the Lexember mostly for myself to defeat my lockdown-induced apathy and laziness, it's still nice to see that other people read and enjoy my entries. I personally think it's very cool how you manage to create words not for one, but for three languages at a time. I would like to see some example sentences from you though!

Lexember 6th and 7th - Yélian

yitármiku [ɕɨˈtaɾmikʉ] - celery, fennel
Etymology: from yitár "star" + miku "leek", literally "star leek"

USAGE NOTES: Note that Yélian uses the same word for celery and fennel, as both plants weren't native to Yélians. If you need to differentiate, you'd propably call the latter yitármikuzali "sweet star leek"

plærmude [pləɾˈmuːdə] - salt lake
Etymology: from plær "salt" + samude "lake"

Additional word coined for the example sentence:

Spoiler:

vinquárasa [vɨŋˈkaːɾɐsɐ] - nutrient [Kingdom standard]
vincársa [vɨŋˈkaɾsɐ] - nutrient [Provinces standard]
Etymology: from vinqua/vinca "to live" + árasa "containment, element, matter"

Ivarsbut pi parlest cu yavar o'plærmude. Yiværelaʻinest u'yitármiku, cut u'pastor cimupumbut vingárasan.

It's really hard to survive at the shore of the salt lake. We tried to grow celery, but the soil doesn't contain enough nutrients.

Bonus words :

pera [peɾa] - pear
piso [ˈpiso] - floor

[Jackk]

I think this etymology is really cool. I didn't know that OE had a word like that, and it really fits well with the Boral aesthetic.

Thank you!

7m Decembr
hast pareïr /ˈhast ˌpa.riˈɪr/ [ˈhast ˌpa.ʀɪˈjɪː] to keep up, follow closely; match, be as competent as

< in use since the 13C in Middle Boral hast pareyir, literally meaning “to have the same speed”. Extended to metaphorical use “to follow (someone’s arguments), to keep up (with a lesson)” quickly, by 14C. More distant senses are seen only in the last two centuries. The noun hast “speed” is a borrowing from Old English hǣst “violence, strife”, with semantic influence from Old Dutch hást “haste, hurry”. The verb comes from parey “same, equal”, a dialect form from Vulgar Latin pariclus, from Latin pār “even, equal”.

Nostr y picq navel pareyeu hast admirabr coll'ig vostr.

Our little ship kept up admirably with your one.

/ˌnɔstr‿i ˈpɪk naˈvɛl ˌpa.riˈjaw ˈhast ˌad.miˈra.br̩ ko.laj ˈvɔstr̩/

[KaiTheHomoSapien]

I really like the word thássos because it has a similar aesthetic to Greek thalassa, yet at the same time, it's clearly different in given its derivational use in Kumathássā. It's also really interesting to share the metaphorical use of 'young'.[/spoiler]

Thanks for the support Qwed

I knew I would fall behind in this, but I'm not giving up:

3rd

aúros - masc. - circle, cycle
aurínkos - adj. - circular, round

-ínkos is a generic adjective forming suffix, but it's also become a place name suffix (by analogy with place names whose origins are adjectival). aúros only coincidentally resembles óriath, the word for "world", but by folk etymology the two have been connected.

4th

kátū - indec. - ten

Cf. Lihmelinyan kátā. Like all numbers larger than four, it is indeclinable and functions as both an adjective and a noun.

The Arculese word for "eight" is péntā, which is a bit confusing given its resemblence to the Greek word for "five". (Cf. Lihmelinyan kuéntā).

5th

bléddos - masc. - robe, dress, covering

This refers to a light masculine robe worn in warm weather or associated with part of the priestly garb. It can also be used to refer to a woman's long dress, but that's a less common usage. A midárā is a woman's kimono-like formal dress.

6th

márnos - masc. - lemon, citron, citrus in general

Refers to both the tree and the fruit. Lemons grow natively along Manter's west coast. While they don't tend to do well in Arculy itself, lemons are popular across the kingdom. Mantians add lemon juice to everything: it's an essential part of many sauces, they rub it on bread, they sweeten lemon slices and eat them, and they're are also used for their fragrance.

7th

várvalom - neut. - grass

I love the sound of this word. It's so euphonic, particularly the genitive singular, varvalósjo. In the singular it can mean "blade of grass" and in the plural it can mean "grassland".

[Dormouse559]

7 lexembre

I've got at least a working name for this conlang: Iluhsa [iˈluhsa].

muði [ˈmuði] n - dog (< meudde)
nuna [ˈnuna] adv - well (< neuna; suppletive adverb of bóra "good")

Liban mamašimko muði.
[liˈban mamaˈʃimko ˈmuði]
liba-n mam-a-šim-kav muði
give.3S-PST mother-ERG-1S.GEN-1S.DAT dog.ABS
My mother gave me a dog.

Some of the protolang's diphthongs now survive to the modern form. They only appear in initial syllables, and they monophthongize after prefixes, like the newly added polar-question prefix:

zé- - forms polar questions

— Nuna zišinérni? — Nuna šeinéġġi.
[ˈnuna ziʃiˈnerni | ˈnuna ʃei̯ˈneɣɣi]
nuna zé-šéini-n-r | nuna šéini-n-ġ
well INT-sleep-PST-2S.NOM | well sleep-PST-1S.NOM
— Did you sleep well? — I slept well.

---

It's still pretty cool, even if it isn't really infixing. There's always a billion options for how to analyse it, and I'm sure the native linguists would have their many arguments for and against.

If the language ever gets a conculture, it'll probably be Greco-Roman-inspired. I can already hear the philosophers pontificating on the nature of noun declensions.

For what it's worth, my intention was that the a posteriori Hlai language is spoken in the modern-day world; however, since the documentation on the Hlai language's syntax and vocabulary beyond the reconstructed terms is distinctly lacking, it is difficult for me to fill it with modern vocabulary (unless I decide to borrow heavily from Hainanese Min, Pinghua, and Yue). As a result, the vocabulary is much more similar to an medieval language than a modern one.

That's certainly understandable. Do you know if there are any adequate resources available to you on any of the languages you'd potentially be borrowing from?

I spend so much time agonizing over one definition sometimes that it surely feels better that I'm not agonizing over four or five, certainly! I do already have on my mind idioms, for example <raw4 zhèw3> 'wearing a body' will probably mean being naked, or something.

Ah yes, I know the feeling, unfortunately. Oh nice, idioms are always fun to have/make.

Thanks for the kind remarks on my Hlai-based languages. It's definitely a good exercise for me after being very demotivated with conlanging. I was talking through a linguistics friend on it, and I realized that it's been the most 'fun' I've had in a while. I ultimately made a sentence with an interlinear gloss (using some nonce words though) for them, and I felt good writing it.

I'm very glad to hear it!

Writing words for *S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u is starting to get tricky, because I don't really know what words to add that don't make the vocabulary advanced-beyond-reconstruction, but there's still gaps here and there, so I have to think hard on this. It might even be useful to start making more definite rules as to compounding or derivation now, but I still want to add a few words here and there.

That's a good point. If you'd be open to it, maybe you could temporarily switch to coining vocabulary for some of its descendants?

And with Sardinian, my decision to work on Sardinian comes in short bursts, so it's good for me to take that energy and try and force myself to spread it out over a month. At least that way, it's not like a thing I start and then stop and ignore for time eternal (like Sardinian Memrise lessons )

Trying to spread your Sardinian-focused energy out, so to speak, sounds like a good idea to me. Best of luck!

perca, pelcia, pescia, preca, percia nf. cave I have no idea what the etymology could be, and hence what the most conservative 'best' form is. It seems likely to be a substrate word. I favor perca for the time being. There is also aruta/ruta, very likely from Latin CRYPTA

---

As a wrap up of week 1, I'm just gonna give some appreciative comments to everyone who participated

Thanks for the wrap up! While I use the Lexember mostly for myself to defeat my lockdown-induced apathy and laziness, it's still nice to see that other people read and enjoy my entries. I personally think it's very cool how you manage to create words not for one, but for three languages at a time. I would like to see some example sentences from you though!

Thank you! Although, really I'm only creating words for two language (Unnamed A Priori, and *S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u), the sound changes in the Hlai language were made in 2017, I just never got around to punching it through the SCA2, other than a handful of words. Part of what makes it hard to write sentences is that I haven't really thought out the grammar yet, and I've been trying to avoid thinking about grammar outside of nonce words (until the end of Lexember).

For what it's worth, my intention was that the a posteriori Hlai language is spoken in the modern-day world; however, since the documentation on the Hlai language's syntax and vocabulary beyond the reconstructed terms is distinctly lacking, it is difficult for me to fill it with modern vocabulary (unless I decide to borrow heavily from Hainanese Min, Pinghua, and Yue). As a result, the vocabulary is much more similar to an medieval language than a modern one.

That's certainly understandable. Do you know if there are any adequate resources available to you on any of the languages you'd potentially be borrowing from?

I spend so much time agonizing over one definition sometimes that it surely feels better that I'm not agonizing over four or five, certainly! I do already have on my mind idioms, for example <raw4 zhèw3> 'wearing a body' will probably mean being naked, or something.

Ah yes, I know the feeling, unfortunately. Oh nice, idioms are always fun to have/make.

Thanks for the kind remarks on my Hlai-based languages. It's definitely a good exercise for me after being very demotivated with conlanging. I was talking through a linguistics friend on it, and I realized that it's been the most 'fun' I've had in a while. I ultimately made a sentence with an interlinear gloss (using some nonce words though) for them, and I felt good writing it.

I'm very glad to hear it!

Writing words for *S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u is starting to get tricky, because I don't really know what words to add that don't make the vocabulary advanced-beyond-reconstruction, but there's still gaps here and there, so I have to think hard on this. It might even be useful to start making more definite rules as to compounding or derivation now, but I still want to add a few words here and there.

That's a good point. If you'd be open to it, maybe you could temporarily switch to coining vocabulary for some of its descendants?

And with Sardinian, my decision to work on Sardinian comes in short bursts, so it's good for me to take that energy and try and force myself to spread it out over a month. At least that way, it's not like a thing I start and then stop and ignore for time eternal (like Sardinian Memrise lessons )

Trying to spread your Sardinian-focused energy out, so to speak, sounds like a good idea to me. Best of luck!

I remember reading that even a comprehensive grammar of Cantonese was nonexistent until recently, I don't quite remember where, so I don't suspect there's very good resources on the languages I want to integrate into it. I'll have to look someday, although I'm not too hopeful. Maybe if I'm lucky I might be able to get my hands on Ostapirat's reconstructions and work in Hlai, and use those too. (Right now I'm relying almost completely on Norquest-which I do generally like).

With *S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u, I have been coining words in the descendants, although I only just recently got to a level of diachronic change in the first descendant that I'm comfortable with. I actually made a large table of all the possible declensional results of athematic stems earlier this month I believe (I would have to check later), but I'm also trying to work a little bit more with the grammar, and also think about sound changes outside of the relatively limited gamut I'm used to.

Day 8:
Maillys: LLyubhaić-Ćá "Tea (drink)"
Note: Ćá is a Fuheko loan word of Kanic origin, for the tea plant. While most words for tea have Fuhean origin (Cogućá "black tea leaves" Ćájó "fresh tea leaves") the drink, and also tomorrow's word have native modifiers- the Maill tried to import cacao, but given that it could only be grown in the southwest portion of their territory, it was replaced by tea, and the drink was named after what it replaced culturally.
Momṭẓʿālemeōm: Tleopāch "Cacao"

[Iyionaku]

Lexember 8th - Yélian

ʻamièda [ʔɐˈmɪ̯ɛdɐ] - to mix, blend (food, smoothies, cocktails)
Etymology: from Caelian hamnyed "blend, mixer, to mix, to blend, mixed"; distant cognate to amera "to blend, merge"

USAGE NOTES: Both amera and ʻamièda are interchangable in most contexts regarding food, but the latter is considered a more "fancy" word. For non-food related contexts, amera is significantly more prevalent.

glútanor [ˈgluːtɐnɔ̈d̟] - barkeeper, bartender
Etymology: glutan "bar" + occupation suffix -anor.

cocktail [ˈkɔ̈taɪ̯l] - cocktail
Etymology: borrowed from English cocktail. In the Kingdom standard, the alternative spelling còtail is permitted as well.

Yityadefai Pato can glútanor o'pralet u pèrepem. Te vutret, te ʻamièdet u'cocktailafirenatan.

8m Lexembr
ovrar /oˈvrar/ [ʊˈvʀɑː] to function, work correctly, proceed without problems; also to behave, follow procedure, do as told

---

< from Old Boral ovrar "to work, to function, to labour", from both of Latin operō and operor "I work" (see also ouvr "work, act, deed, labour", from the corresponding noun opus, opera "work"). The “toil, labour” sense had by the Middle Boral period been displaced by laurar < labōrō and, briefly, trevaglar < Vulgar Latin tripaliō (now obsolete). In the sense of "to follow etiquette or instruction" (that is, as applied to people), the word is attested from the seventeenth century.

Veg alcot jo dig a mell'ivan d’ovrar, il voun un regul trovar a rompr.

However much I tell my kids to behave, they find some rule to break.

/ˈvi aˈgɔt ʒo ˈdaj a ˌme.liˈvan oˈvrar | ɪl ˈvun ɪn reˈgɪl troˈvar a ˈrɔm.pr̩/

Lexember 8:

CBKSG <jestom> /'jes.tom/ v = to become green

Etymology: The last of the verbalisers, the second dynamic verbaliser aka VBZ2! It has more passive semantics than VBZ1, <ma>; the dummy verb it derived from originally meant “to take”. With colours it usually means “to become/turn colour X”.

[Dormouse559]

8 lexembre - Iluhsa

I focused more on grammar/phonology than vocabulary today, but I did add two words:

amuþu [ˈamuθu] n - man (irregular stem: amtéd-; < amətto, amətəd)
kòubza [ˈkɔu̯bza] n/adj - (familial) love (< kaubza)

Amtédox koubzar mama.
[amˈtedox kou̯bˈzar ˈmama]
amtéd-òx kòubza=r mam-a
man-GEN love=COP mother-ERG
The man loves his mother.

The new aspect of grammar is that predicative possession is expressed with different forms than those used for attributive possession. Attributive constructions use the genitive case. Predicative clauses follow a "possessum is to possessor"-type pattern, but the case used for the possessor varies. Nominal possessors take the ergative case, while pronominal possessors take the dative. My example sentence above demonstrates the ergative possessor; it literally translates as "The man's love is to the mother" or "The mother has the man's love". To translate "The man loves her", one would use a dative pronoun, like below:

Amtédox koubzarmo.
[amˈtedox kou̯bˈzarmo]
amtéd-òx kòubza=r=m-òu
man-GEN love=COP=3S-DAT
The man loves her.

On the phonology front, I'm instituting a different system of stress assignment. It's simplest to describe with a mixture of syllables and morae: In words of at least three syllables, stress falls on the syllable containing the antepenultimate mora. In words of two syllables or fewer, stress falls on the syllable containing the penultimate mora. The general effect is that stress can be pulled to the right by heavy syllables. For example, the dative form of amuþu is amtido [ˈamtido], with antepenultimate stress; meanwhile the genitive is amtédox [amˈtedox], with the the final consonant coda causing stress to shift to the penult.
