#Lexember Day 16: a means of execution!

kha (t)ex khom, to execute by group breath weapon
(Lit. "to breath disintegrate gather")

Back to Wyrm today for this rather grim prompt. The highest ranking and their most trusted dragon lords may subject a victim to multiple, simultaneous breath weapons!

#Lexember Day 15: a means of transportation

ɹ̰ɘ̇g̰, (verb, transitive) to mount, ride, stand-atop

ɹ̰ɘ̇g̰ rɑ̣ʢ sȧl̰ mȧh
ride [agentive] mouse lion
"(the) mouse rides (the) lion"

G'sunan assumes nouns of the predator class are agents, of the prey class patient, so rɑ̣ʢ marks the mouse as the agent!

#Lexember Day 14: a means of construction

zɑ̇kdạn, a dug-out den or cave, esp. dug by hand.
(Lit. "to/a dig-nest)

Still trying to figure out the adverb/adjective plan.

#Lexember Day 13: an animal sense or sense organ

ɹ̰ɘɾlar, to smell another's scent mark (e.g. a dog's)
(Lit. "to nose-sense")

A proto-g'sunan word not likely to last long without ranging that middle ɾ/

#Lexember Day 12: word for flight-related anatomy

ŋ̰ɘg, a whisker or feather

G'sunan speakers group any hard, sturdy hair-like things together: whiskers, wings, even prominent eyelashes would be called ŋ̰ɘg.

#Lexember Day 11: a specific kind of tooth

d̰ɘ̇sɹak, a baby tooth
(lit. "child fang/tooth)

We don't pay enough attention to baby teeth!

#Lexember Day 10: an animal weapon (e.g. antler, horn)

rạʕɘ̇s, a claw or claw-like thing
from rạʕ (to claw) with attributive(izer) d̰ɘ̇s.

Time to invent adjectives it seems!

#Lexember Day 9: an insect body part

ɰ̰ɘt, (noun) a stinger, such as on a bee or scorpion.

Surely something sentient beasts run into regularly!
December 10, 2025 at 1:24 AM
#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 6&7: eating instrument, drinking instrument

dȧntɑ̇n̰, (noun) a bowl, esp one made of a skull
(lit. "head cradle")

G'sunan have a very practical approach to remains 😅
And yeah I'm double dipping here.

#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 4: something that adds flavour

kạɹ̰, (noun, inanimate, predator) salt, saltwater

Back to G'sunan for today 🧂

#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
Lit. "to break open (in) blood"

Still a proto-form, but it'll probably end up something like ɡɹ̰ɤ̰̇ŋ̥.

Oh hell yeah, necromancer definitely wired my 4 yr old brain 😅

Mythic Dawn armor had me obsessed, maybe because you can't get it as a player, maybe because I'm a sucker for red

At the very least you should be allowed to personally confiscate their phone
