1.
tál, tálchuu
longing, want, miss (to belong, to be with another)
Sungsha lou tál.
all-day having longing
I long for her always.

lústál missing someone far away; homesickness
Tau ni lústál, ditaa la sháo tág mig sa-sa ni.
3 1 far-longing | Ditaa LOC single piece.of battle GEN-GEN 1
I miss him, my warrior gone away to Ditaa.
New rule: Double genitives lengthen the 'reach' of the particle. Using only sa ni instead of sa-sa ni would make the second part, '...warrior in my battle in Ditaa'.

ráítál person wanted; source of tál; to leave, part
Mairáí gi mam, ráítál.
flat-add ADJ best | add-miss
The best mairáí is often a ráítál.
Mairai is something added to dishes with the staple crop of this concountry to cover up its naturally sweet flavor. It also means 'downer, sobering/depressing event or person'. (New cultural note: emotions, descriptions can be added, piled on, subtracted, broken; they are like bricks; many instances of them are a wall, a facet of one's personality.)
This phrase also works perfectly well with the next three/five words.

chom tál, lou tál person feeling tál

múd tal, shim tál cause/source of tál (sometimes inhuman, inanimate)

ngao tál same as above, but with sense of suddenness, of being rent away instead of merely going away
Múd tál ni, yáa sa chií la.
originating.from miss 1 | start GEN fire LOC
I lost it in a fire.
Chií ngao tál sa ni.
fire making miss GEN 1
The fire took it (the thing I miss).
(SOV, SVO word order is rude in this lang, so the above is almost an accusation.)

núutál to come together, to meet (after a long time), to catch up ("remove longing")

nou(lús)tál to speak sadly (of/because of someone missed); to speak of someone far away or dead; to call after someone when they leave for a journey; to mourn the dead

Lexember 15ᵗʰ

smat [ˈsm̥ɒʰt] v tr play (a team sport)

Lexember 16ᵗʰ

mev [ˈmɛɸ] n tree

tsýr [ˈtsʉːr] v tr begin; start; undertake

• – Zero-derivation expectedly yields tsýr 'beginning; start'.
  – Adding the agentive suffix -ag, one gets tsýrag [ˈtsʉːrɒˤ] 'mover-shaker; one who gets things going' (← tsýr + -ag AGT; 'mover-shaker; one who gets things going' ← 'starter; undertaker').
  – The patientive nominaliser yields tsýran [ˈtsʉːrɒn] 'procedure; process' (tsýr + -an PAT; 'procedure; process ← 'something started').
  – Last but not least, utilitative nominalisation yields tsýret [ˈtsʉːrɛʰt] 'plan; project' (← tsýr + -et UTIL; 'plan; project' ← 'something to be started').

Lexember 17ᵗʰ

létkyu [ˈɬɛːʰk̟ʏ̯ʊ] v tr plant

• – The process of planting is also létkyu, since zero-derivation forms abstract nouns.
  – A person who plants seeds into soil is létkyag [ˈɬɛːʰk̟ʏ̯œˤ] (létkyu + -ag AGT).
  – The Rant word for 'seed' is létkyet [ˈɬɛːʰk̟ʏ̯ɛʰt] (létkyu + -et UTIL; 'seed' ← 'what is to be planted').

Lexember 18ᵗʰ

rúıvy [ˈruːɪ̯βᵿ] n grass; weed (fig. 'clutter; mess')

• – Zero-derivation from the figurative meaning yields rúıvy 'clutter; mess up', which is used to futher derive two new lexemes:
  • – The very act of messing up is also rúıvy, retaining the same pronunciation.
    – The agentive suffix derives rúıvyag [ˈruːɪ̯βʏ̯œˤ] 'irresponsible person' (rúıvy + -ag AGT; 'irresponsible person' ← 'one who messes up').
  – In more recent usage, the y in rúivy has been reïnterpreted as the homophonous collective suffix, giving a backformation rúıv [ˈruːɪ̯ɸ] 'grass blade; stalk'.

Lexember 19ᵗʰ

skélt [ˈsk̟ɛːɬt] n leaf; page

• – Adding the collective suffix -y one gets skélty [ˈsk̟ɛːɬtᵿ], which is defined as 'book' (skélt + -y COLL; 'book' ← 'a collection of pages').

Lexember 21:

lak [læk]
1. (n.) reverence, adoration, awe
2. (intr. v.) to be awed
3. (tr. v.) to revere, venerate

Lak expresses an intensity of emotion greater than that denoted by the similar term tak, "to be curious, to admire, to respect." It is very seldom used in reference to feelings between two people, but rather to describe the veneration of honored ancestors, mythological figures, and natural features of great beauty or other significance.


Lexember 22:

kapt [kæɸt]

1. (n.) a village community
2. (intr. v.) to act in defense of a community
3. (tr. v.) to protect, nurture; to raise a child

The kapt is the basic unit of society common to Yipta speakers. Although they subsist on hunting and gathering, most kapt are at least seasonally sedentary, taking advantage of the abundant oak groves and wild grains of their homeland. Members of a kapt view one another as members of an extended family, though the actual biological relationship between nuclear families may be distant or nonexistant. It is considered incest to wed or bear children with a member of one's own kapt, and much of the politics conducted between communities centers on marriage arrangements.

Lexember 23:

kamk [kæmk]

1. (n.) tribe, people, alliance
2. (n.) a ceremony marking the coming-of-age of a member of a community, or the adoption of a new member into a community, or of a new community into a tribe
3. (intr. v.) to participate in such a ceremony, to become a member of a tribe
4. (tr. v.) to adopt a child into a family, a stranger into a community, etc.

Individual kapt are organized into larger social groups known as kamk, a term that can be roughly translated as "tribe," but more accurately describes a political alliance cemented by generations of intermarriage. Each kamk lays claim to a particular territory, consisting of valuable resources like oak groves, water sources, and toolstone quarries. Movement within a kamk is relatively free; individual resources are claimed by the nearest kapt, but these communities usually cooperate and share resources, and families can usually move from one kapt to another without much difficulty.

Movement between kamk can be quite dangerous, however, as relationships between neighboring tribes are hostile more often then not. Such social boundaries have resulted in each kamk speaking a different dialect of Yipta and practicing different rituals, though this divergence has not yet rendered communication between groups impossible. Some trade does take place across the boundaries between kamk, as certain resources like native copper deposits and obsidian flows are rare enough so as not to be generally available. Such trade mission are risky propositions, and each kamk has developed elaborate rules of etiquette and protocol governing the behavior of visiting traders and other long-distance travelers.

Lexember 20ᵗʰ

ırmán [ɪrˈmɒːn] v it branch out; fork; furcate

• – The corresponding action noun is ırmán 'furcation'.
  – Appending the agentive nominaliser -ag, ırmánag [ɪrˈmɒːnɒˤ] 'branch' (ırmán + -ag AGT; 'branch' ← 'which branches out') can be derived.

Lexember 21ᵗʰ

tev [ˈt̠ʲʰɛɸ] v tr collect; harvest

• – The word for the traditional yearly harvest is also tev, which retains the same pronunciation.
  – The word tevag [ˈt̠ʲʰɛβɒˤ] 'collector; harvester' is derived by means of agentive nominalisation: tev + ag AGT; 'harvester' ← 'who harvests'.
  – Nominalisation using the patientive suffix yields tevan [ˈt̠ʲʰɛβɒn] 'collection; yield' (tev + -an PAT; 'collection; yield' ← 'what is collected/harvested').

Lexember 22ⁿᵈ

lavı [ˈɬɒβɪ] v it crawl

• – The action of crawling is also lavı, so it retains the same pronunciation.
  – Agentive nominalisation by means of suffixing yields lavıag [ˈɬɒβɪ̯œˤ] 'reptile; serpent' (lavı + -ag AGT; 'reptile; serpent' ← 'who crawls').
  – More in line with the weekly topic of plants, compounding lavı with kur 'plant' gives lavıkur [ɬɒβɪˈkur] 'vine' ('vine' ← 'crawl-plant').

22. Míshutíaté Lexembris—popévai (holidays)

• Vendashrí Tshemsha: pageant about the exodus from Ksreskézo, often structured around spoken-word readings of accounts from the event (Vendashro, name of the event ("Under Dashro") + tshemshé, to fall into kῶμα, i.e. lyre-trance)

• Íesopelía (telía il tse Íeso vepezé (time of Jesus beginning to be), Jesus-Time with inchoative -ep- absorbed): Christmas; historical term.

23. Míténtíaté Lexembris—boseñkai ílezheia (vestments required; i.e., rituals)

• stilla-idzhekhtía: minor ritual (with idzhé, to give or put)
• <goddess name>-bosúbekhtía: major ritual for the named goddess
• <goddess name>-idzhekhtía: minor ritual for the named goddess
• Tsheyúzekhtía (Remembrance): ritual honouring the dead performed at the end of Vendashrí Tshemsha, Atshogía'l asa Neptrúekha, Alísogía'l Trotúzai, and Akofama Ketabazainis. Sometimes held at the beginning of Zhofedí Lemperí Venakoa, but this is rare.

24. Legíaté Lexembris—sarnokonidtai (morals)

• amúbekhtína: kindness (love + give + act + class infix = the set of all love-givings)
• zeyetí amúbekhtína: balanced kindness; social empathy (not to be confused with zanlekína, justice, which literally means fairly-distributed responsibility)
• gendamefí alesta: sourceless hate; evil. (genda-, without + mefíu, source + alesta, hate)

25. Lemíaté Lexembris—zelamekhtíaní idzhekhtíai (marriage rituals)

existing words for pre-marriage rituals:

• Tshentwidhildta: the day before marriage, eulogies are given for the betrothed as if they had died. (tshentwidhu, past history + -ildtu, point)
• Tshentkoisasa: the day before marriage, the betrothed tour their past homes to come to terms with their former lives. Customarily they may do this freely in much the same way people tour a residence they want to rent or buy, although this is not legally enforced. (tshentu, past + koisu, home + -asa, early archaic feminine plural)

new words:

• Zelamematekhtía: the wedding itself—an extremely simple proposition. (zel-, true + amé, to love + maté, to join + -ekhtíu)
• Kelopaví Asithekhtía: an exceptionally small wedding reception that prompts the anticipation of an intellectually productive relationship. (kelopu, inspiration + asithu, silence)
• Alíegepekhtía: a grand wedding reception that is seen as the final farewell for the relationship's public image; it is expected the relationship will be quiet and stabilizing. (alíegé, to abandon + -ep-, inchoative)

26. Lenenaté Lexembris—plitai'l Terra² (pets of Earth)

Most of these arrive in Lilitika via Glissía, a (still only just being planned) scholarly Greek/Latin pseudo-creole with minor influences from Classical English. Glissía is the primary discourse tongue of the Lyrisclensiae.

• felu: cat [< La.]
• kanu: dog [< La.]
• músu: mouse [< La.]
• kúnu: rabbit [< Gr.]
• vézlu: weasel [< En.]
• psittaku: parrot [< Gr./La.]
• shúthavíu: bird [< shúthímu, wind + La. avis reinterpreted to mean the Lil. suffix -uvíu, 'that which is'.]¹

¹The Lilitai were particularly impressed with birds in general, as the few flying animals from Ksreskézo were night-dwellers and generally did not soar; one of the many cultural myths was that Earth² was the source of all life or that things from it were somehow truer and more natural than they were anywhere else.

²Although "Terra" is the common term, due to Lyrisclensian influence, the Lilitai originally called Earth Alfí Didta, or "Point Alpha," which was jargon inherited from their doomed colonist ancestors, the Rotomemi. The untouchable, mythological nature of Alfí'dta in Lilitic culture created very high expectations for their first meeting with other humans.
