Lexember 10
Welcome to the Lexember Challenge!
Every year, conlangers can take the opportunity for the month of December to challenge ourselves to add a new word to our conlang’s lexicon.
What word have you coined today? Any cultural or associated worldbuilding notes? Tell us about your inspiration!

Catching up from yesterday:
linna, to skip unintentionally, to pass over (strictly divalent, which is not just for violent words, nomma “to want” is also in this agreement category)
See, I planned it! Skipping yesterday was just a ploy to make this coinage ironically appropriate! (I didn’t actually plan it. I forgot.)
I like your ironic appropriateness! Also nice word. 😀
Also playing catch-up, some Chulotti swear words because clearly that’s the important thing to come up with (my characters!).
And dialect of Kachan that the northern Chulotti clans speak is called Aban. In which a question word gets used for it’s actual original meaning.
he • [ he ] • part. yes, yeah, that’s so, lit. truth
stav, to fix, to repair (patientive-transitive)
New word:
doshtalu [doʃ.ˈtɑ.lu]
n. fem (pl ~ne)
New phrase:
shina shinalhar [ʃin.ˈɑ ʃi.nɑl.ˈhɑɾ]
idiomatic expression
Laughter is considered the greatest healer in Lorthoan culture (doshtalu); therefore a parting phrase in Lortho is “Laugh well.” It is used both as a departing message or as a “good luck” for someone about to start a new adventure.
Oooh! Both of these are beautiful!
Random:
emešud -> cloak
