next word: suddenly

[Pabappa]

I love this thread, so I wanna move it along. I havent done much conlanging in the past year or so, but I still havr the lexicon:

suddenly

Poswa: baesapum which i think is related to baesa" Star" , and also
tini which is a word by itself which is related to Khulls lĭni "point in time", though it's odd that I chose it to mean "suddenly" without at least an inflection such as -m.

I do that sometimes but I dont think I spread my fingers when I do. Poswa has a lot of experimental words for emotions, a whole sentence can be just a single word for an emotion, and emotions include physical postures like that. Laughing is an emotion, and so is being sleepy and needing to use the bathroom. Essentially equates with "feelings" in English. Ive been mostly working on Khulls lately but Khulls cannot produce words like that. In fact I hadnt realized how long I'd been neglecting Poswa until now when I found typos that had stood for five years uncorrected. Making a typo in a conlang is a problem because where do you go to correct it? THankfully my spreadsheet has the etymology side by side so I could see it was wrong immediately instead of cannonizing the typo forever and the ncoming back later "HJEEEEELP i ha vea word with 3 š's in a roe jow do i fix it???"

So the word is:

moššušiop molam sublampebo "Im ready to start my new job". Totally has nothin g to do with the picture, but thats the posture I stood in when I was looking at my manager waiting to be told what to do next and thats what it is and thats what I meant.





Thank you for puittting thto,n serioisly,q

Hah, I thought to myself: "I probably already have that word, but if I don't, I'll probably translate it as smoke-way".

And then it turned out that that was exactly what I did, at least 4 years ago:

cossethia ˈkosːəθja (n) chimney {cosse, smoke + thia, way, path}

[din]

Anyone?

I kinda miss this thread.


If you don't want to do the word I suggested, because it may not be a concept in your conworld/country, then I'll provide: berry as an alternative

[Sevly]

Deevi:

sur v. notice; remark
mi n. life; spirit
oto n. piece or work of art, theatre, music, writing, or other published work

surmi n. 1. attention; publicity; noticeability 2. (of the field in general) advertisement
surmioto n. (of a particular publication) advertisement

next: berry

[Pabappa]

Thank you, these are some of my favorite foods.

Gold: nigau
Khulls: nigō
Thaoa: nixea
Bābākiam: niau

Babakiam is the ancestor of Poswa and Pabappa. Hoever, this word didnt survive, being replaced instyead by radže in Poswa and rab in Pabappa. However, it does survive as a suffix, as e.g. in Poswa levo "strawberry", which is cognate to Khulls īnčigō and Thaoa entixea. When I made this word, I did not know that the Japanese for strawberry was ichigo, so I can confidently rule out even subconscious influence. The Poswa word came first anyway. Pabappa now uses asansa for strabwerries, from "heart-shaped fruit".

Currently the word for raspberry in Khulls is ġʷănigō, but Im not happy with that, because it just means "thorn berry" and I wouldnt think the Khulls speakers would think of thorns first when they see a raspberry plant. The Poswobs and Pabaps are the ones that have to actually get down and pick the berries. I have a chouce of about fifteen possible words for raspberry in Poswa, but Im not that happy with any of them either. However in the process I gained a word that can mean "strawberry or raspberry, but nothing else": tubotti. They would classify blackberries as raspberries.

next: trigger

[masako]

next: trigger

Kala:

topenyo - trigger

tope is a firearm or rifle; -nyo is a tool or device

One could also us -pe meaning piece, or part, but then replace it with -u due to phonotactics.

For the meaning "to spark a response, especially a negative emotional response, in (someone)" you would say tonomya - emote-CAUS - "to make feel"

next: waterlogged; flooded
