Lexember 18, 2021
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!

So was again working in abstentia from getting them here, but have been trying to figure out IPA transcription rules and realizing I was using ties wrong on diphthongs, and honestly, sometimes it’s a pain even though it’s good to have because I tend to narrow transcription. Urgh, but without getting into IPA here, the backlog:
K2-Nar
K3-Nar
Derived from color terms, oddly enough, but this leads to the whole comparative suffix when combined with glory, eventually, so a nice find.
God’s Tongue
Nice, as always.
Thanks!
njeho: light breeze; someone who passes through quickly or only stays for brief visits (shorter than is polite)
I love that they have a word for this!
And cool to see compounds in action with Mouatrídzë !
I wonder what poems might sound like in this language that seems so lyrical…
Names are a surprisingly great way to figure out compounds! You make me want to try some poetry after I get further into the grammar.
Excellent!
