Alright, so the #ehw #conlang is full of short and boring words (on purpose), so instead, I'm going to start featuring N'tòsi for #Lexember!
It's my first attempt at a tonal language, and it has a phonology that I enjoy! I'm having fun putting the rules together, and I like the conscript I thought of for it, too!
I still have a lot of work to do, but now that I know about the Swadesh List, I have some direction for what words I ought to make!
Now to catch up! #Ntosi

#Lexember Day 5:
"huded" /hu.ded/ (Derived Adjective)
contained, held, secured, comfortable
https://lexicon.ga/170/85
Fun Fact: Derivation happens in several ways in the #ehw #conlang. Appending "ed" to a verb creates an adjective from that word that means the state of being caused by the verb. When a verb ends in a vowel, the "ed" acts as a separate syllable with a glottal stop, but it modifies words ending in a consonant so that the consonant creates a syllable with "ed".

#Lexember Day 4:
"du hed" (Verb)
think, decide, lead
https://lexicon.ga/170/81
Fun Fact: This word is constructed from the word for "do" (du) and the word "hed" which means "head, top, leader" (https://lexicon.ga/170/79) because the head is on top of the body and does the thinking!

#Lexember Day 3:
"med wud" (verb)
say, speak, talk
https://lexicon.ga/170/72
Fun Fact: Many verbs in the #ehw #conlang are constructed from the words for "make" (med) and "do" (du) paired with a thing that is made or done!

#Lexember Day 2 Double Feature!:
"pet pet" (Noun)
pet, friend, cutie, ally, hero
A thing that is cute, good, and/or friendly.
https://lexicon.ga/170/66
"bad bad" (Noun)
enemy, evildoer, criminal, monster
A thing that is bad, ugly, and/or hostile
https://lexicon.ga/170/64
Fun Fact: A lot of words in the #ehw #conlang are derived from doubling a root word. Both of these words are doubled forms of adjectives!

Sure, ok, I'll try #Lexember for a little while. Maybe I can finish a decent lexicon for my #ehw #conlang: https://lexicon.ga/170
I've got a couple days to catch up on, so here we go! Be warned, this might not produce many interesting words, but there are a lot of *necessary* or at the very least *useful* words that I really need to create.
I'll try to keep them all in a thread on this post for convenience.
