11m Decembr

naðeu /naˈðaw/ intuitive, easy to understand; naïve, not thought through, basic
< attested in Boral since 10C in Old Boral naðew /naˈðew/, from Latin nātīvus “created, innate, natural"—see also the later reborrowing natif "original, native, unprocessed, raw (material)”. The word had acquired its negative connotations by the Middle Boral period, concurrently with the French naif, from the same source.

Lexember 11:

Classical Bokisig (CBKSG)

CBKSG <dosot> /’do.sot / n = tower
Etymology: Early Boksig /do-sot/ (“high*” + “house”)
* Actually just “extending a lot into one direction”, so can also mean “long” or “wide”

Not too exciting an etymology, as no sound changes wreaked havoc on the word, but that’s just the nominative! Let’s look at the other cases.

Code: Select all

+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+

| NOM         | dosot          | /’do.sot/                 |
+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+
|             |                |                           |
| ACC         | dzhosot        | /’ʤo.sot/                 |
+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+
|             |                |                           |
| INST/ERG    | dosód          | /do’sod/                  |
+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+
|             |                |                           |
| LOC         | dosotu         | /do’so.tu/                |
+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+
|             |                |                           |
| LAT         | dosodwo        | /do'sod.wo/               |
+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+
|             |                |                           |
| ABL         | dosotwé        | /do.sot'we/               |
+-------------+----------------+---------------------------+
These cases are derived from the Early Bokisig suffixes /du/ (INST), /mɛ/ (LOC), /bo/ (LAT) and /mɛʔu/ (ABL), but the actual forms underwent a fair bit of phonological processes – one thing that is pretty obvious is the regressive voicing assimilation that happened where suffixes had a voiced stop in the onset. The ACC is the odd one out, as it derives from a prefix that in many cases resulted in initial consonant mutation. How this and what might initially look like a tripartite alignment (but kinda isn’t) came about will be the subject of a future entry!

Perhaps a better translation would be "the heights of the Goddess", but that kinda defeats the whole point of the definition. I did kind of always imagine Mount Olympus (the one where the Greek Gods lived, not the one on Mars) to be a large plateau.

Gán Vẽi (Entry 11):

/si˥˧/
Classifier:
1. livestock
2. pets
3. (informal) any non-threatening animal, especially a mammal

Etymology
From Old TBD siʔ "livestock, domesticated animals", from Proto-TBD *sit "to live; animal".
Usage notes
Classifiers are most often placed between numerals and nouns. was originally used only to count sheep, cattle, and other kinds of livestock, but is now commonly used to count pets and domesticated animals in general. Colloquially, any medium-sized, non-threatening animal may be counted using .

Example sentence:
Kâi sì rả ye nái phânh hō.
/kaj˦˥˧ si˥˧ ɻa˨˩˨ je˧ naj˩˧ pʰaɲ˦˥˧ ho˥/
[kaj˦˥˧ siː˥˧ ɻaː˨˩˨ ʝeː˧ n̪aj˩˧ p͡ɸãɲ˦˥˧ ɦoː˥]
kâi=sì rả ye nái=phânh=hō
two=livestock.CL sheep PROX 1s.PROG=wool=DIR

Noun:
1. dandelion, common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
2. a number of plant species belonging to the genus Taraxacum
3. head of a dandelion

1. workhorse, draft horse
2. (figurative) a reliable, effective worker
3. (archaic) mare, adult female horse

Alternative forms

Etymology
Borrowed from Old Norse jalda, ultimately from a Uralic language. Compare English yaud, Moksha эльде (elʹde), Erzya эльде (elʹde), Northern Sami áldu.

Example sentence:
De yald hes stopped en ne fyvel roke.
/də ˈjald hɛs ˈstɔpəd ɛn nə ˈfʌɪ̯vəl ˈroːk/
[də ˈjɑɫd̥ həs ˈstɔp̚t‿ə̃n nə ˈfʌɪ̯vəɫ ˈɾoːk̚]
de yald he-s stopp-ed en ne fyvel roke
DEF workhorse have.PRES-PRES stop-PST.PTCP and INDEF dandelion smell.PST.PTCP

10th

sórgīn - masc. - valley

A sórgīn (pronounced /'sɔr.çiːn/) is a wide, open valley (cf. Lihmelinyan sárgēn) as opposed to a small or narrow river valley. The "Vale of Arculis" from which the region of Arculy derives its name is natively called the Sórgīn Arkuleís.

11th

álgāti - ā-stem. v. - to snow

Because this is a weather verb, there are no 1st and 2nd person forms, just like titāti - it rains. (This verb has a remnant of the i-reduplication present stem. Arculese has lost the stem distinctions that Lihmelinyan has, so this is archaic and the reduplication is maintained throughout the entire paradigm).

12th

andílā - fem. - rabbit, hare

The word for this animal, an important symbol of the Kingdom of Manter, has similar reflexes in every Mantian language. In Lihmelinyan, the word is masculine, but it's been reanalyzed as a feminine in Arculese. The /d/ is a result of an original unaspirated /t/ in the proto-language.

Should note that in general, Arculese has a much better-defined feminine gender than Lihmelinyan, in which the feminine is marginal and partly derivational.

12m Lexembr
short excerpt from Milda ver Ragner’s 1954 popular history Grex Byd: Kyvarvod y Vaωr Morωn (A Girdled World: The Great Borunesk Meeting), a popular account of the 1517 coming together of people from around the world on the island of Borune [Borneo], and the sequence of events that led up to it.
…this commonly-held misconception. In fact, more than a dozen crewmembers of mac Kellot’s Phœbos had at least some Arabic; the British and Morrack mercantile domains had overlapped in Gaul and Spain for nearly two centuries at this point. At least two were entirely fluent writers, if not speakers—al-Hamid’s book of circular functions was as yet untranslated in Latin and was an invaluable navigational aid.

So it is almost impossible to imagine the height of emotion on al-Kazmi’s Cynthia as, having travelled further west than anyone in quite possibly the history of humanity, arrived at last in Muharram 924 somewhere almost familiar. Following the stories they heard (in Arabic: much of the island had converted to Islam over the previous few decades, with continual trade from Muslim India) of the map-makers from the Far West, they travelled along the coast to the port city of Sinquan.

There at last they united with the Welsh explorers, shouting the immortal line across the bay; O Gastor ‘ila Bolux! “From Castor to Pollux!”, in a reference to the celestial twins of Greek myth. Or at least, mac Kellot’s first mate calls out this line in the 1927 film adaptation One Day in Borune—the thought is pleasing enough that it does no harm to assume the meeting really did start so poetically. Awkwardly, al-Kazmi’s otherwise-impeccable logbook is missing the vital few pages surrounding this date…

Thank you, I think so too! Oh wow, I hadn't thought of that, but I quite like it!

Once I have some more time on my hands, I'd like to try to look further into the etymology of wecle, since Wiktionary doesn't indicate where Old French got it from. The initial w- suggests it may have been borrowed from a Germanic language, perhaps.

Let me know if you find anything. Certainly, most Old French forms with initial <w> come from Germanic.

13m Decembr
trasir /traˈzir/ [tʀɐˈzɪː] (transitive) to cross, traverse, go through; to penetrate, saturate, permeate; (intransitive) to be understood, come across; to die, pass away
< attested in Old Boral as tras(e)ir “to go across, through”; in earlier texts it is still treated as a compound of tras- “across” < Latin trāns- “through, across, beyond” and (e)ir “to go” < Latin eō, īre “I go”. As eir acquires suppletive forms from vādō “I go, walk”, trasir is reanalysed as a regular -ir¹ verb; this process is complete by the Middle Boral period. The intransitive usage is original, though with the transitive senses (it was used with the preposition par “by, through”). We see the newer senses of “permeate” and of “be understood” used from the fourteenth century. In the sense “pass on, die” its use is cyclical; it last returned to common use in the 1920s.

Day 13

Gán Vẽi (Entry 13):

lảng /laŋ˨˩˨/ (inanimate or animate)
Noun:
1. house, home, abode, domicile, dwelling, residence
2. (figurative) home, place of comfort
3. household, immediate family
4. birthplace, hometown
lảng /laŋ˨˩˨/ (comparative lang ma /laŋ˧ ma˧/)
Adjective:
1. domestic, residential
2. of or pertaining to a house
3. homemade
4. (figurative) comfortable, at home
5. family, familial
6. native, first (of a language)
7. home, original, native (of a town)
lảng /laŋ˨˩˨/ (causative xā lảng /ɕa˥ laŋ˨˩˨/)
Verb:
1. to house, to shelter, to contain
2. to live, to reside, to dwell
3. (informal) to relax, to spend time at home

Etymology
From Old TBD m·leng "shelter, safe house, storehouse", from Proto-TBD *maa "to stay, to stand, to remain" + *hlɛŋ "to close, to shut, to hide, to conceal, to protect".
Usage notes
Noun:
Sense 3 is treated as animate, while Senses 1-2 and 4 are typically inanimate.
Verb:
Senses 2 and 3 are typically reflexive.

Example sentence:
Lảng nâ rĩu góu lĩ hō.
/laŋ˨˩˨ na˦˥˧ ɻiw˧˩ ɣow˩˧ li˧˩ ho˥/
[ɫ̪ɑ̃ŋ˨˩˨ n̪aː˦˥˧ ɻɪw˧˩ ɣɔw˩˧ ð̞iː˧˨ ɦoː˦]
lảng nâ rĩu góu lĩ=hō
house 1s.GEN to mountain COP=DIR
My hometown is by the mountains.

Thedish (Entry 13):

fade /ˈfaːd/ (plural fades /ˈfaːd(ə)s/)
Noun:
1. (dated) paternal aunt, father's sister
2. (rare) aunt, parent's sibling
3. (informal, dated) a woman who is a close friend of one's parent(s)
4. (humorous, affectionate, informal) a young woman who behaves somewhat maternally towards her friends
5. (informal) a form of address for a woman older than oneself but younger than one's parents

Alternative forms
faed, faden (pl.)
Etymology
From Old Thedish faþo, from Proto-Germanic *faþō.
Usage notes
A fair number of Thedish kinship terms, including fade, may be considered "dated"; they are likely to still be understood, although not necessarily used, in their traditional senses by the majority of speakers. However, they remain in fairly active use in certain regions, especially outside of (relatively) large cities. Those belonging to particularly large and/or close-knit families are generally more likely to actively use these terms as well, regardless of where they live. In addition, these terms are frequently used by members of immigrant groups whose native/ancestral languages feature, for instance, separate terms for "paternal aunt" and "maternal aunt". Nevertheless, the majority of speakers default to using more common, less specific kinship terms when conversing with people outside of their families, unless a greater degree of specificity is required. moy /ˈmɔɪ̯/ is the traditional generic term for "aunt (paternal or maternal)", but speakers may use ant /ˈant/ - or variants like tant /ˈtant/ and nant /ˈnant/ - instead. The coordinate term for "maternal aunt" is medry /ˈmɛdrʌɪ̯/.

oom /ˈoːm/ (plural omes /ˈoːm(ə)s/)
Noun:
1. (dated) maternal uncle, mother's brother
2. (rare) uncle, parent's sibling
3. (informal, dated) a man who is a close friend of one's parent(s)
4. (humorous, affectionate, informal) a young man who behaves somewhat paternally towards his friends
5. (informal) a form of address for a man older than oneself but younger than one's parents

Alternative forms
ome, oomes (pl.)
Etymology
From Old Thedish ōam, from Proto-Germanic *awahaimaz. Compare Scots eme, Saterland Frisian Oom, Dutch oom, German Oheim.
Usage notes
The notes regarding the usage of fade above largely apply to oom as well. The coordinate term for "paternal uncle" is either feder /ˈfeːdər/, fedder /ˈfɛdər/, or fedren /ˈfɛdrən/. The most common generic term for "uncle (paternal or maternal)" is onkel /ˈɔŋkəl/, variants of which include nonkel /ˈnɔŋkəl/ and tonkel /ˈtɔŋkəl/.

Example sentence:
Myn fade en myn oom hes huyed. Det is neut dweurgh, yea?
/mʌɪ̯n ˈfaːd ɛn mʌɪ̯n ˈoːm hɛs ˈhœʏ̯əd || dɛt ɪs nœt ˈdwœrx | jɛː/
[mẽɱ ˈfaːd‿ə̃m mẽn‿ˈõːm həs ˈhœʏ̯d || dət‿s nət̚ ˈdwœɾχ | ˈjɛː]
myn fade en myn oom he-s huy-ed || det is-Ø neut dweurgh, yea
1s.GEN paternal_aunt and 1s.GEN maternal_uncle have.PRES-PRES marry-PST.PTCP || that be.PRES-PRES NEG weird, yes
My dad's sister and my mom's brother got married. That's not weird, right?

Let me know if you find anything. Certainly, most Old French forms with initial <w> come from Germanic.
Will do! [tick]

Weekly Wrap Up
Like Week 1, I'm just gonna give some appreciative comments to everyone who participated in Week 2 (by order of first participation). I'm a bit strapped for time because I had a test earlier today, so I apologize if I missed someone or if my comments seem a bit rushed.

Gán Vẽi (Entry 11):

/si˥˧/
Classifier:
1. livestock
2. pets
3. (informal) any non-threatening animal, especially a mammal

Etymology
From Old TBD siʔ "livestock, domesticated animals", from Proto-TBD *sit "to live; animal".
Usage notes
Classifiers are most often placed between numerals and nouns. was originally used only to count sheep, cattle, and other kinds of livestock, but is now commonly used to count pets and domesticated animals in general. Colloquially, any medium-sized, non-threatening animal may be counted using .

Example sentence:
Kâi sì rả ye nái phânh hō.
/kaj˦˥˧ si˥˧ ɻa˨˩˨ je˧ naj˩˧ pʰaɲ˦˥˧ ho˥/
[kaj˦˥˧ siː˥˧ ɻaː˨˩˨ ʝeː˧ n̪aj˩˧ p͡ɸãɲ˦˥˧ ɦoː˥]
kâi=sì rả ye nái=phânh=hō
two=livestock.CL sheep PROX 1s.PROG=wool=DIR
I am shearing these two sheep.
First I gotta say, it really cool that you're juggling both Thedish and Gan Vei. Second, I was reading this and realized that I had completely forgotten about classifiers in the Hlai-like A Priori, and the Hlai-lang A Posteriori. It's cool that you're really making this language work together. It feels authentic, and "real".

Maillys: Cuhyuthyĺ-Ćá "Chewing Tea"- a form of tea similiar to IRL White Tea, but meant to be chewed, taken at tea-chewing breaks, and when boiling is impractical. Cuhyuthyl was originally tobacco, which was exclusively chewed, with tea drunk at meals, but when it was realized that tea could be prepared as a chew, the Maill slowly phased out tobacco so they could rely on their tea crop, and not have to plant tobacco.
Interesting etymology for the Maillys word, It's very interesting that the Maill transitioned form tobacco usage to tea usage.

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"
This is really cool, and the literal name "star leek" reminds me of English's "star anise" and similar weird naming of plants.

sórgīn - masc. - valley

A sórgīn (pronounced /'sɔr.çiːn/) is a wide, open valley (cf. Lihmelinyan sárgēn) as opposed to a small or narrow river valley. The "Vale of Arculis" from which the region of Arculy derives its name is natively called the Sórgīn Arkuleís.

11th

álgāti - ā-stem. v. - to snow

Because this is a weather verb, there are no 1st and 2nd person forms, just like titāti - it rains. (This verb has a remnant of the i-reduplication present stem. Arculese has lost the stem distinctions that Lihmelinyan has, so this is archaic and the reduplication is maintained throughout the entire paradigm).

12th

andílā - fem. - rabbit, hare

The word for this animal, an important symbol of the Kingdom of Manter, has similar reflexes in every Mantian language. In Lihmelinyan, the word is masculine, but it's been reanalyzed as a feminine in Arculese. The /d/ is a result of an original unaspirated /t/ in the proto-language.

Should note that in general, Arculese has a much better-defined feminine gender than Lihmelinyan, in which the feminine is marginal and partly derivational.
I really like the appearance of all these words, especially andílā. I also love hearing about how you're developing Arculese, the different reduplication stems, the -nth suffix, and the feminine gender.

I love the word zèite. It reminds me of learning the word 'aceite' in Spanish class when talking about food items. Like 'aceite de oliva', olive oil (which came up surprisingly often).

Here are some of the inflecting verbs in Tynthna

4 tuthav - have / hold
5 charuv - feel (with hands, skin, etc)
6 tarov - grow, get larger, expand
7 tramuv - walk, crawl
I really like the aesthetic of this language, and the words. I can't wait to see more of Tyntha this month, and hopefully at other times.

short excerpt from Milda ver Ragner’s 1954 popular history Grex Byd: Kyvarvod y Vaωr Morωn (A Girdled World: The Great Borunesk Meeting), a popular account of the 1517 coming together of people from around the world on the island of Borune [Borneo], and the sequence of events that led up to it.
…this commonly-held misconception. In fact, more than a dozen crewmembers of mac Kellot’s Phœbos had at least some Arabic; the British and Morrack mercantile domains had overlapped in Gaul and Spain for nearly two centuries at this point. At least two were entirely fluent writers, if not speakers—al-Hamid’s book of circular functions was as yet untranslated in Latin and was an invaluable navigational aid.

So it is almost impossible to imagine the height of emotion on al-Kazmi’s Cynthia as, having travelled further west than anyone in quite possibly the history of humanity, arrived at last in Muharram 924 somewhere almost familiar. Following the stories they heard (in Arabic: much of the island had converted to Islam over the previous few decades, with continual trade from Muslim India) of the map-makers from the Far West, they travelled along the coast to the port city of Sinquan.

There at last they united with the Welsh explorers, shouting the immortal line across the bay; O Gastor ‘ila Bolux! “From Castor to Pollux!”, in a reference to the celestial twins of Greek myth. Or at least, mac Kellot’s first mate calls out this line in the 1927 film adaptation One Day in Borune—the thought is pleasing enough that it does no harm to assume the meeting really did start so poetically. Awkwardly, al-Kazmi’s otherwise-impeccable logbook is missing the vital few pages surrounding this date…
There's always a lot to love about Boral, but I really enjoy reading the Boralverse snippets and stories. They're really cool and interesting to think about.

Classical Bokisig (CBKSG)

CBKSG <dosot> /’do.sot / n = tower
Etymology: Early Boksig /do-sot/ (“high*” + “house”)
* Actually just “extending a lot into one direction”, so can also mean “long” or “wide”

Not too exciting an etymology, as no sound changes wreaked havoc on the word, but that’s just the nominative! Let’s look at the other cases.

[...]

These cases are derived from the Early Bokisig suffixes /du/ (INST), /mɛ/ (LOC), /bo/ (LAT) and /mɛʔu/ (ABL), but the actual forms underwent a fair bit of phonological processes – one thing that is pretty obvious is the regressive voicing assimilation that happened where suffixes had a voiced stop in the onset. The ACC is the odd one out, as it derives from a prefix that in many cases resulted in initial consonant mutation. How this and what might initially look like a tripartite alignment (but kinda isn’t) came about will be the subject of a future entry!
It's really cool that your doing diachronic work with Boksig, and I really love seeing the interesting forms that dosot takes. That initial consonant mutation!

The blizzard struck the island chain.
I really like the appearance of Alál, and the appearance of the word kıḳaḷı. It's also interesting to see the classes and dictionary forms that go into the word.

śaus /ɕaus/ (n.) ‘ear’ from PIE *h₂ṓws; like ‘eye’ there remains a fossilized dual form śuśa.

śtonth /ɕtontʰ/ (n.) ‘tooth’ from PIE *h₃dónts.

jostha /ʝostʰɑ/ (n.) ‘hand’ from PIE *ǵʰóstos.

śvaithatoru /ɕʋaitʰɑtoru/ (n.) ‘poplar tree’ from PIE *ḱweytós ‘white’ plus *dóru ‘tree’.
I really really like these four words. I would never have thought 'śvaithatoru' would be cognate to English "white tree', given just the word and the definition. It really goes to show how interesting of a character Yemya has taken on.
