Almost unbelievable, two days ago it was nearly 30 degrees C here and now it's snowing like we're in the middle of winter.

English vocabulary can be really fascinating sometimes. Just take a look at the following extract where cyan = Latin or Greek, green = native English or loaned Germanic, and yellow = short function words (natively English):
Juontide vene êrode! Ven êro son jønvêttavas šykwaj riskulfau, juonteda, nuhkwensau kô þuêhtau!
English ladybird is one of by favourite insect names but I've just discovered it's strongest rival yet: butterfly in Northern Sami is beaivẹloddi, which literally means sunbird or daybird, and that's such a cool name for it.
While browsing a local bookshop I came across a manga translated into Slovene, and it was Fullmetal Alchemist (Jekleni alkemist, literally Steel Alchemist). I think this was the first time I'd seen full manga volumes translated into Slovene. Colour me surprised.
So I watched one French short on YouTube and now half of the shorts I get are in French lmao
Expanding the scope of a suffix is always very fun. Start with one meaning and then expand it with secondary uses. #Laefevian #conlang
I can now say the following sentence in Laefevian: Ôrki hlêm vjaul letiožžel? - “Right in front of my salad?” (funnily enough, the only word I was missing there was an equivalent to “right”) #conlang
Here's a nice little group of related words in Laefevian: kwi- “cross, across, through” + urôl “sky” → kwiurôllet [ˈku̯iu̯rɔllet] “compass” → kwiurôlêlj [ˈku̯iu̯rɔlɛʎ̥] “(natural) satellite, moon” → kwiurôlleisus [ˈku̯iu̯rɔllei̯sus] “(artificial) satellite” #conlang #Laefevian
Fun etymology: despite looking very different, Slovene čemaž and English ramson are cognates, from the same PIE root. But Slovene also has more obvious cognates: čremoš is a synonym for čemaž, and there's also čremsa/čremza “bird cherry”. PIE *kermus-/*kremus- “wild garlic”.
Exciting, I might attend.

Day 31 of #Lexember (forgot to post yesterday): celebrations, in #Laefevian: - kwehda [ˈku̯eɦda] “(religious) holiday, celebration” - ôtinda [ˈɔtinda] “(non-religious) holiday, celebration” - jøþitwirs [ˈjøθitu̯ir̥s] “feast, banquet” #conlang #Lexember2023
Day 30 of #Lexember: no theme, but I decided to go with some chess terms, in #Laefevian: - kaltiwist [ˈkal̥tiu̯ist] “chess” - besku [ˈbesku] “queen” - navja [ˈnau̯i̯a] “bishop” - gyndja [ˈgyndi̯a] “knight” - skurþ [ˈskur̥θ] “rook” - lêust [ˈlɛu̯st] “pawn” #conlang #Lexember2023
