Day 8:
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.

9m Decembr
excerpt in Borlish and English translation from Mashik-set spycraft trevold La te Hozuho Sineton (No Slumber Will Seize Him), written in 1943 by Yollamaniza Elcabir in the aftermath of the Horizic Wars and the bombing of his home city of Moshtar. A retired spy himself, his true-to-life depictions of the Mashik and Hasinick Ministries of Knowledge were revealing enough that he received persona non grata status throughout Gulf Mendeva. Furthermore, it was swiftly banned east of the Nile for its libertine morality typical of the post-Renovation Novamund (although as usual, New Provence provides an exception).
Acujan pausau un moment de scoc, e soulor appoyau afaç.
Acujan stopped momentarily in surprise, then he pressed on.

“Deð apar, Monnir, façau repasc. Nos desbroðiau accougl. Tu’s faur eð animant ne collocq. Jo poð oc luïr, faur eð animant ne collocq. De cal sfondra i ?”
“Come on, Munir, let’s have dinner. We get along. You’re clever and interesting to talk to. I can pretend to be clever and interesting to talk to. What’s the harm?”

Monnir cogleu un scaumel dy tablaur eð ençau a le movir lon solcið, ogl a Acujan pognant.
Munir picked up a pen from his desk and started idly fidgeting with it, drawing Acujan’s eye.

“Es l'idea te venuð, ig j'ay cos sengr y sunt exact d'amigtað colleger ratiocinað, oc recas por tu ouvr y laboriosessem, eð ig cossy jo so stant tell'aðombracer cruel ?”
"Has it occurred to you that I’ve simply determined the precise level of camaraderie required for you to work most effectively, and have in this way been callously manipulating you?”

“I fo, ne vertað,” sboccau Acujan. “Jo decideu l'ig m'attrag cos largecer.”
“It actually had,” smirked Acujan. “I decided that would be incredibly attractive.”

8th

sárinth - masc. - lily

I've posited that Arculese contains an -nth noun suffix similar to the "Aegean" substrate in Greek that's the source of words like labyrinth, Corinth, etc.

9th

álpos - masc. - bear

This word is an "Easter egg" in that it's derived from what should be the Greek descendant of PIE *wĺ̥kʷos.

Lexember 9th
hëi3 yo1 /xɤ˧i˩˥yo˧/ n island, archipelago (in plural)
mő2 /məː˥/ n cow, generic bovine
rü'1ang2 /rɯʔ˧aŋ˥/ v to flow (of a river)
hwang2 /ẘaŋ˥/ v to climb, to mount [an animal], to rise


*S₁ŋ̩ʲːd-o Lat-u
*kiːs₃-a v. to melt, to liquefy.

Unnamed A-Posteriori Hlai-lang
(h)hɔy˩˨ v carry water from Proto-Hlai *hŋwəːyʔ 'carry water' cf. Lauhut hwoːy3, Nadou ŋɔy3, Tongzha, Zandui vaːy6

Sardinian
arna nf. moth (esp. carpet moth) etymon in Catalan arna, possibly related to Basque arr 'worm, insect'

Si dh'at papau s'arna
IPSE ILL[E] HABET PAPPARE + [-TUM]* IPSE [ARNA]
The moth is eaten (???)
This is quite by far the most unusual sentence I've translated yet. Sardinian uses the equivalent of IPSE HABERE in order to form reflexives. Wikipedia indicates that the Latin verb PAPPARE doesn't have a supine, so technically *PAPPATUM from which papau originates, doesn't exist.

Thedish (Entry 9):

2. a splash, the act of splashing
3. (often plural) the ocean, the sea

/ˌhœʏ̯ˈdaɪ̯ hɛs ɪt hiːr ˈsnyːd fɛr də ˈɛrst ˈhwʌɪ̯l də ˈtʌɪ̯d nœʏ̯ | dʌɪ̯ wɪl mʌɪ̯ ˈswɛstər nɛːr də ˈʌɪ̯dəs ˈgɔːn/

huiday he-s it hier snue-d fer de erst whyl de tyd nuy, dy will-Ø my swester near de yd-es goa-n
today have.PRES-PRES 3s.N here snow-PST.PTCP for DEF first time DEF season now, therefore want-PRES 1s.GEN sister near DEF wave-PL go-INF
It snowed here today for the first time this season, so now my sister wants to go down to the shore.

Finally got around to making at least one example sentence. I was "inspired" by the fact that it actually did snow here today for - as far as I know - the first time since the end of last winter, although I don't have a sister. The second half of the sentence is just something I made up to fit in yt.
Edit: A priori example added on December 19th, 2020.

Lexember 10th - Yélian

ytépæral [ˈʃteːpəɾɐl] - orthopteron, grasshopper, cikada, locust
Etymology: ytepa "to jump" + neral "bug", literally "jump bug"

bigadonor [ˌbigɐˈdoːnɔ̈d̟] - Orthopteron, grasshopper, cikada, locust
Etymology: from bigadi "crop" + redon "storm" + person suffix -or, literally "crop striker"

USAGE NOTES: Both words denote the same species, but the difference is clear: The first word is neutral to positive, the word you'd tell your kids when they see them in the fields, whereas the latter is pejorative and a word you'd hear in the news when there is a plague.

Æ'panuy on'òibak u ílveret elkunut a'bigadonoran, yibicʻi pun televisió.

Fell off the wagon, but some words are better than no words I suppose!

Inflectional forms: PROG trookin, PST: trapsin, IRR: traprin)
trapua music (trap- + ua 'NMLZ suffix')

pumba 'drum'
ADV form: puambe

takas- 'to hit, to bang , to play (drums)'
Inflectional forms: PROG: takahkin, PST: takasin, IRR: takahrin

trap- takes the adverbial form when the object is an instrument, i.e. to play music on an instrument. Likewise with takas- when the object is a percussion instrument.

I forgot to post yesterday, but here's the link to my tweet to show I actually fulfilled my obligations.


Lexember 10:

Classical Bokisig (CBKSG)

CBKSG <lēz> /le:z / n = goat

Etymology: Txabao /ɾeu̯/ (“goat”) > Early Bokisig /le.ʔu/ > Pre-Classical /le/;
Due to homophony with /le/ (“top”; “mountain”) /le/ was suffixed with /hiz/ (“animal”) > /le.hiz/ > Classical Bokisig /le:z/
This could well be re-analysed as “mountain animal” later.

Unnamed A-Posteriori Hlai-lang
gaːʔ˥~geːʔ˥ n 'taro' from Proto-Hlai *raːk 'taro' cf. Bouhin gaːʔ7, Lauhut geːk7, Moyfaw xɯː7. Some of the cognates indicate some sort of vowel change that made a form more similar to *reːk, whose descendant would probably be *geʔ˥. In all likelihood, since my language is something like Cunhua and Nadouhua if I remember correctly, which don't reflect this proto-word, this word would probably have to be borrowed in, probably from Lauhut, [geːk7] or Meifu (Moyfaw [xɯː7]/Changjiang [geʔ7]).

NB: 7 is constant high tone.

Sardinian
spérruma nf 'cliff' primarily Campidanese?, unknown etymon, May be related to Latin SPELAEUM 'cavern, den' , based on the similar Logudorese word isperru 'fissure, abyss' , and isperrumare 'to break, to ruin', apparently an expansion of isperrare 'to shatter, to rend'. Alternatively from Latin SPELUNCA, or from some substrate

is tacus funt coronaus de spérrumas
The mesas/tablelands/plateaus are crowned by cliffs.

Really this is a two-fer since you also got tacu/taca 'plateau', but that'll mean that tomorrow you'll get this again.

Lexember 11th - Yélian

drant [dɾant] - coast

Additional word coined for the example sentence:
Spoiler:
yacana [ɕɐˈkaːnɐ] - more than
Etymology: ya "very" + cana "more"
USAGE NOTES: It's a suffix that can be attached to nouns to denote that something is more than the used measure, but not significantly. For instance, ílveretyacana ("more than one year") means that some time more than one year has passed, like 15 months, but not five years for instance.
Abvidantet ílveretyacana pur yivalai u'drant æ'bildraubato.
[ˌabvɨˈdantət ˈilvəɾətʃɐˌkaːnɐ pud̟ ɕɨˈʋaːlaɪ̯ ʉˈdɾant əˈbildɾaʊ̯ˌbaːto]

It's been more than one year since I last saw the coast.
