The Dailies. July 10
Did you work on your language today? Create any new rules of grammar or syntax? New progress on a script? New words in your lexicon?
On the other hand, do any excavating or reading or enjoying stuff you’ve already created? Do you have any favorites to share?
How did you conlang today?

I did this yesterday, but I participated in my first Conlang relay with Lortho. The language I received to translate into English was borderline surreal. It is, by far, the longest text I have written in Lortho. Since the story was a bit disjointed (I was the eighth person in line), I will clean it up and rewrite it to be intelligible.
That being said, I have created a slew of new words. Enjoy!

So there you have it! Quite busy in the conlanging department this time around.
Trying to worldbuild some stuff related to death and funeral traditions. I think this culture would like the idea of Viking-esque funerals where you just launch bodies on boats out to see (fire not necessary), but then, that’s kind of a waste of perfectly good boats. So maybe they would just get in the habit of cremation and scattering one’s ashes at sea?
āmādi: ashes (plural)
umbwō: to sprinkle, scatter
