Alright, so the is full of short and boring words (on purpose), so instead, I'm going to start featuring N'tòsi for !

lexicon.ga/271

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!

Day 5:

"huded" /hu.ded/ (Derived Adjective)
contained, held, secured, comfortable
lexicon.ga/170/85

Fun Fact: Derivation happens in several ways in the . 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".

Day 4:

"du hed" (Verb)
think, decide, lead
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" (lexicon.ga/170/79) because the head is on top of the body and does the thinking!

Sure, ok, I'll try for a little while. Maybe I can finish a decent lexicon for my : 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.
