"ophthalmologist"

From Khulls, a compound of "eye" and "person, worker"

Used in a sentence:
Pʷ orâkʷú sṅpīl nóxʷân.
ṗ "eye" + hʷ "person" + òra "desk" + ʕàġʷ "behind" + xʷú "to stand" + sṅpà "to ask for" + ʕīl "transitive, past" + nó "credit, discount, privilege" + xʷân "license, card of identification"
"The ophthalmologist standing behind the desk asked for my discount card."

Lexember 27th,

entraum = exterminate, annihilate
entranaum = go extinct

And I might as well add one for Lexember 1st, which I missed:

nugarpraija = epidemic, plague (from: nugar = disease, praija = storm)

Sentekolu kidi rachunflama nu grimeth, Hioronans eruitaniari nui entranaum bashfurra nugarpraija fiakiter.
Sente-kolu kidi rachun-flam-a nu grim-eth, Hioron-a-ns erui-tania-ri nui entr<an>aum bash-furra nugar-praija fiaki-ter.
shortness-time after operate-begin-NMLZ of flay-AGT.PL, Hioron-DEM-PL hair-forest-ADJZ1 PST exterminate<INTR> badness-due.to disease-storm mystery-ADJZ2.

‘Soon after Flayer Activation, the furry Hiuronites went extinct due to a mysterious plague.’
Notes:
DEM = demonym
ADJZ1 = This adjectivizing suffix means that the qualified noun possesses the suffixed 'thing'. Not "like fur" but possessed of 'fur', which literally is a 'hair-forest'.
ADJZ2 = This adjectivizing suffix means that the qualified noun is similar to the suffixed 'thing'.
INTR = Actually, <an> simply flips the transitivity of the original verb, in this case it just happens to be from transitive to intransitive.
bashfurra = furra by itself works, but by going with bashfurra the speaker tells us the event is unfortunate.

Lexember 30th,

inhuitur = theoretical science (from inhui, meaning part, and the suffix -tur for the sciences)
krundoinhuitur = physics (most often than not contracted to krundotur, lit. the dry science)
hisuihinhuitur = chemistry (usually contracted to hisuitur, lit. the wet science)

Ima tuk lash adom vadis, tizim iatarpinzitum u krundotur pai hisuitur.
Ima tuk lash adom vadis, tizim iatar-pinzi<tu>m u krundo-tur pai hisui-tur.
Before REL 2sg join fleet, need intellect-promote<PASS> in dryness-science and wetness-science.
‘Before you join the fleet, you need to graduate in physics and chemistry.’

I'm two words shy of 3500 in my lexicon, so hopefully Lex. 31st will get me there :-D

Lexember 31st,

pashtormi = hostility (literally, pash = solid, tormi = malice, though it's clear that open hostility is often nicer than lurking malice.)
violshemprisglar = selfishness, literally: self-firstness

Pashtormi tuk gornim main violshemprisglar rum bash.
Pash-tormi tuk gorni-m main viol-shempris-glar rum bash.
Solid-malice REL base-VBZ on self-first.place-ABS have badness.
‘Hostility based on selfishness is wrong.’

Happy New Year~ (Grond morvune!!)
