Less #LangBeltaFanCoins and more playing around with the new words:

@kagan : Milowda fosho gonya tili showxa 'yush' fo im mogut fo kowl diye pash xíxitim

Da @IRO ta showxa, "Im ta bek fong yush kowltim"

Manting tili du yush nuva fo ting.

Showxa bik fong bush:
kush da yush da mal!
Mo seríp fo *showala!

"Du sif gútegow fo *goting xíxitim."
[Imim sera da bap da éreluf]
...Wepera!
[Imim openg da bap da kuxaku]

#LangBelta

*showala = show + -wala "show-makers"
*goting = go + ting "trip"

※ I was originally going to go with Portuguese gema "gem" > *dzhema for "hobby", but then I saw Spanish joya /ˈxoʝa/ and decided to fudge the pronunciation and do *dzhoya. It is luckily similar to stuff like owlesi "lazy" < Hindi आलसी /ɑːlsiː/ "lazy" influenced by English "lazy".

For "treasure, booty, etc." I'm thinking *kãsh < cash + Arabic كنز /kanz/ "treasure"

Since I was going to play #TheExpanse #RPG :d20:, I thought about dice, and how to say in #LangBelta. There's a lot of words for "die" to choose from, but I thought, perhaps the first wave hadn't brought dice with them, so maybe belters made dice out of found material (influencing my etymology choice).

🤔 Maybe a coupling nut...

🎲 *Kacháng < Indonesian kacang "nut" (the food)

So fun to say! (I can also see yelling out 'kacháng' on a successful roll. :kirby_happy:)
