#Lexember Day 8: something to eat on
gȧldạn, (noun) plate
(lit. "fish cradle")
Sure G'sunan are sentient beasts, but they're not barbarians!
Derivation being "fish cradle" as land animals are deemed acceptable to eat on the ground, but fish should be held in something. Again, not barbarians ;)

#Lexember Day 5: cooking instrument
kho pak, (noun) cooking rock
(lit. "(fire) breath rock")
xotohile han kho pak
"(they cook the) manticore on the cooking rock"
Fire dragons find pots and pans superfluous, and simply heat rocks with their breaths rather than heat over a unnecessary fire.

#Lexember Day 3: a particular dish
Yis oaker, (noun) "black giant", a dish of giant meat roasted in black dragon acid.
Moving over to my Wyrm language for this one! Leaning into the classic dragon vs giant rivalry, lazily.

#Lexember Day 2: way of making food
ɡȧɹɹ̰ɤ̰̇ŋ̥, (verb transitive) to boil, esp in broth

#Lexember Day 1: preparing food
nɑ̇z, (verb transitive) to bite and swallow, esp a recent kill
G'sunan is a language of a jungle of beasts. So, the predators among them maintain a practice of hunting and eating the prey among them.
A bit of a cheat 😅 since it's a way of *not* preparing food.

Here's a sketch-map of the first encounter in the Dyos campaign: the cult of the sun's chariot processes through the market avenue, passing through a temple (where offerings are lain), ending with them throwing themselves into the sea as the sun does (into a net)!

As a person who will do math in her head to avoid the time lag of having to dig out my phone and open the calculator app and punch numbers in, I have come to realize I’m not the market for genAI simply because I would rather use my brain than open an app if given the choice.
