Our #Lexember word for today is "wotáma", which means "driver" in Wokuthízhű, our #conlang for mice. The mice are well known for their tank-operating abilities, making them formidable opponents!

#Lexember has started! It’s the month where conlangers share a word they’ve coined in one of their conlangs. In my case, I share a new #HighValyrian glyph each day, and today’s glyph is associated with ñuragon which means “to grind”. #conlang #Valyrian #hotd #HouseOfTheDragon
