#Lexember #Lexember2022 is over; I coined 185 words for #Rireinutire (or 202, or 259, depending on how you count). #conlang
I'm making a note here: A huge success.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Happy Solstice! #lexember #lexember2022

So in my infinite wisdom I thought "current day" Ixa-langs would reinterpret the suffix -an as just a general noun-to-noun derivator, and made ixtollanan meaning "the Sun Empire language" from ixtollan. I was so proud of myself.

Then I came across a footnote in Plane Shift: Ixalan (a free DnD supplement for campaigning in this setting) that gave name to the Sun Empire language ("Itzocan") and is never mentioned anywhere else.

So I changed "ixtollanan" to be the demonym of the Sun Empire, which I guess I will have to change again due to the changes to *Elan.

Either way, from "itzocan" I reconstructed *Īktsi-tsūkan, with *Tsūkan meaning "tongue", but I'm changing it to "to speak" because I need more verbs. This gives

• Anuleika shuka ['ʃu.ka]
• Torrezonor éstuin ['es.twin]
• Itzocan tzocan ['tso.kan]

@conlang I'm back baby! ...Huh, I swore I had done 03 already but I can't find it.

Anyway! Today I talk about Tocatli, the emperor's palace. I first decided to split it toc-atli, make "toc" refer to the emperor and "atli" to the place. I reconstructed the phrase *Dūk-etsnē, meaning "governor house".

From there, I created *Dūk-elan meaning empire, and this is where *Īktsi-dūk-elan came from, mentioned here: https://tabletop.social/@vylion/109440937923569103

So I guess now Tocatli means "commanding house", a house so impressive it makes you instinctively subjugate to it.

And now, Proto-Ixalan *Dūk-elan ['du:k.e.'lan] gives "that which commands", with descendants

• Anuleika du'ela ['du.ʔe.la] "authority"
• Torrezonor dullan ['du.ʎan] "monarch"
• Itzocan tollan ['to.ɬan] "empire"

And in turn, *Etsnē "house" gives

• Anuleika ena ['e.na]
• Torrezonor hiezne ['jeθ.ne]
• Itzocan atli ['a.tɬi]
