Our #Lexember word for today comes from Loh Akish, a #conlang for foxes. "Kfässir" means "trapper" and is an agentive form of a verb. Foxes, being as clever and stealthy as they are, are excellent at laying traps and sneaking around the Sovála game board!

Our #Lexember word for the day is "khvùkhte", which means "solider" in Haughòf, our #conlang for dogs. This noun is an agentive form of a compound verb that incorporates "stand" and "growl". These dog soldiers are formidable when they're standing and growling in your path!

It's week 2 of #Lexember, and today we are circling back to Engála (our #conlang for rabbits) and featuring one of the classes of characters in the #Sovála board game: "kimbáda" means "sharpshooter" and comes from a compound that literally translates as "steady paw".

Our #Lexember word for today comes from Nulisü, our #conlang for beavers! "Sale" is the word for a beaver, which is a nod to the name of David's favorite childhood stuffie (also a beaver). These characters are the best carpenters of Sovála!

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is one of my favorites: havon “bread”. I love the way it looks. The collective havor is where the word for “food” comes from. #language #HighValyrian #hotd #houseofthedragon #got #gameofthrones #orthography #conlang

The final Okoki word for #Lexember is “ẽtu” (“to gather”), from *insu. High vowels lower before nasal codas, fricatives fortify after nasals, and nasal codas drop out, leaving behind a nasal vowel (*insu > ensu > entu > ẽtu).

“Ko odapo’ina ẽtudonu.” (“The squirrel gathered treasures.”)

The Okoki #Lexember word is “ãpa” (“to grab”), coming from the proto-form *amsa. Fricatives assimilated after nasal consonants and then fortified to a stop, so *amsa > *amfa > *ampa; then the nasal coda was lost, resulting in “ãpa.”

“Oraba lõna ãpadora” means “The hawks grabbed moss.”
