Lexember 2nd:
Zukish (again)

'wujan [ʔʊːʤan] (n., f): Sister, from Classical Zukish wu'zcam [wuʒam], ultimately from Proto Desert-Coastal ŋuezom with ŋue being a kinship prefix and zom meaning woman. Note that this word had a shift in pronunciation to match the loanword jan, which replaced jam in Zukish for meaning woman. (jam means wife) However, it kept its original plural form instead of borrowing jan's plural form (janën, [ʤanin])
Plural form is 'wujanen [ʔʊːʤanɛn]

'wugam [ʔʊːgam] (n., m): Brother, from Classical Zukish wugam [wugam], ultimately from Proto Desert-Coastal ŋueɢom with ŋue being a kinship prefix and ɢom meaning man.
Plural form is 'wugamen [ʔʊːgamɛn]

Also note that on looking through Zukish's lexicon, I noticed that the initial glottal stop is actually written in the case of the w+u/ö/o long [ʊ] case, I have since modified the Lexember 1st post to account for this.

In relation to Imralu's recent post:
Interesting... nin is Ancaron for female, and nan is Ancaron for male.
Nini and nana would be female-mixture ...? and masculine, respective.

A bit late, the Buruya Nzaysa word for Lexember 2nd:

dənziya (n.) ‘logic, reason’

Sa u uyɔlvo puh ŋkə lu mevuna tsapse u ri steya lu ŋkana ntɛ u dənziya ovla.
NULL.AUX-3SG>3 INDEF.NOM philosopher for.3 same DEF.ACC task give of.3 SUB.NOM PROG.AUX-3SG>3 DEF.ACC world by.3 INDEF.NOM logic explain
“A philosopher gives himself the task to explain the world through logical thinking.”

Etymology:
dənziya is derived from the verb dənzi ‘prove, demonstrate, draw conclusions, argue for sth.’ by means of the honorific nominalizer -ya. The verb itself descends from a compound of the Ndak Ta words dene ‘reason’ and sien ‘prove’. The phonological development is slightly irregular here (the expected outcome would have been *dənze’ə); most likely this is due to influence from Delta Naidda where the reflex of sien is shïn [ʃɪn].

Lexember 3rd: Now featuring adverbs!

Empotle7á

tlanem 'suddenly', from Proto-Western *dłanẽ.
tsuŋé 'skillfully' and tsuŋe-í 'master, maestro, artist, sage', from *tyũkʰe.
oŋú-7atlo (vt.) 'rock, sway' and oŋó-pá (n.) 'cradle', from *wãyu 'repetitively, again'.
-*wã gives om (vt.) 'coo'
tsotsú (par.) 'hopefully, ojalá, inshallah', from *čewcʰu 'soon'.
-*čewtʰ gives tso7 '(i'll think of something later)'

[Cedh]

Here's my word for Lexember 3rd. It has more or less the opposite meaning compared to yesterday’s word.

mɔkə (n.) ‘contradiction, inconsistency, flawed logic’

So’ɔwa piga ɔ kɛ ivrɛ mve, dal ntɛga lu letsədə ah mpaskale. Eseya xa ño u mɔkə kɔnze!
NULL.AUX-2SG>3 initially INDEF.ACC one story say, but then DEF.ACC opposite of.3 declare // EMPH.AUX-1SG>3 this.ACC as.3 INDEF.NOM contradiction blame
“First you tell one story, and then you say the opposite. That’s what I call flawed logic!”

Derived terms:
mvoŋkə (v.) ‘contradict, be in conflict with’ (formed by adding the causative prefix mvo- and syncopating the medial syllable)

Etymology:
mɔkə descends from Ndak Ta mâukkin ‘protest against oneself’, a reflexive derivation of mâuk ‘protest, complain’. Other etymologically related words in Buruya Nzaysa are əmɔh ‘accept’ < ermâuk ‘fail to protest’ and əmɔyla ‘compromise, middle ground’ < ermâukla ‘that which meets no protest’ (patientive participle of ermâuk).

Semantically related words in Buruya Nzaysa include yovla ‘superstition, unfounded reasoning’, nzesu’ə ‘incompatible thing’, mesə ‘insufficient thing’, yaba ‘faulty thing’, bɔvla ‘mistake, blunder, error’, sumɔ ‘falsehood, counterfactual statement’, tsəñe ‘unlikely or far-fetched explanation’, and ntsətəmla ‘point of disagreement’. All of these can be used to question the validity of a statement, but they all have slightly different connotations, which should be fairly obvious from the glosses.

mɔkə (n.) ‘contradiction, inconsistency, flawed logic’

By quaint coincidence, moka- in Lilitika is a prefix that means "withering, decaying". I think I can work with this.

Raipíaté Lexembris. mokarúmbé. v. To make erroneous logical inferences due to old age or poor health. (moka-, withering + karúmbé, to logically induce)

There will be a Topic of the Week (usually a fairly broad semantic domain) in order to encourage the creation of several semantically related words at a time; however, this topic is optional and you can always choose to create words of a different semantic domain instead. Whether or not you (or others) adhere to the current topic, everyone is of course encouraged to comment on other participants' words, or to let oneself be inspired by them.

If you want to join the game, simply post your Lexember contributions in this thread. You can also use various social media instead or in addition: There will be #Lexember hashtags on Twitter and Google+, and some people are probably going to publish Lexember words on their conlanging blogs as well.

The first Topic of the Week is Categories, Structures, Relationships.

Thanks for getting this going! By the way, I had a lot of fun last year reading up on relevant flora and fauna for my new vocabulary. I'd suggest having a Topic of the Week related to that at some point.

Lexember 3rd:
Zukish (again)

'wujama [ʔʊːʤama] (n., f): Daughter, from Classical Zukish wu'zcama [wuʒama], ultimately from Proto Desert-Coastal ŋuezomo with ŋue being a kinship prefix and zomo meaning girl.
Plural form is 'wujanaen [ʔʊːʤanaʔɛn]

'wugama [ʔʊːgama] (n., m): Son, from Classical Zukish wugama [wugama], ultimately from Proto Desert-Coastal ŋueɢomo with ŋue being a kinship prefix and ɢomo meaning boy.
Plural form is 'wugamaen [ʔʊːgamaʔɛn]

[Pogostick Man]

Lexember 4 – *hkw (metathesized form *khw) [aɣu] "be married"

Derived terms:
- *hkew [aɣew] (pl. *rkhew [akhew]) "spouse"
- *khhw [kahu] "be married to (s.o.)"
- *hkjw [ak͜xju] "marry (two people)"
- *hkjew [ak͜xjew] (pl. *rkhjew [akhjew]) "justice of the peace, minister, one who conducts marriages"
- *jphkew [iβaɣew] "betrothed, fiancé(e), one engaged to be married"

*hkjw typically takes the female as the direct object and the male as the benefactive unless the female's family is discussing her marriage (and even then it's still likely to find the female as the object).

[Radius Solis]

Tlaliolz, Lexember 3rd:

āzli - n. type, kind

derived: āzlia - adv. typically; as expected; true to type

The more usual spelling for this suffix would give āzliya, but a palatal glide is always present in Tl. /i.a/ and thus unnecessary to write it here.

Lexember 4th:

tfean - n. layer; level (of height or depth)

This is one of the small minority of words that breaks Tlaliolz's usual syllable structure, with an initial cluster - and an unusual one at that. It is the only known #tf-word in the whole language.

Msérsca:

Lexember 3:
Msérsca names plant-derived foods a little differently from how English does. nápa [ˈnoːpɔ] best translates to fruit, but it includes—even culinarily—berma eggplant, bermaprus tomato (lit. eggplant apple), curbo cucumber, and cspom pumpkin, and it does not include grains, even botanically. urat [ˈyːrat] includes roots and tubers. Most other vegetables can be called marass [ˈmarasː].

Lexember 4:
More plant stuff: tereps [ˈtɛrɛps] and téreps [ˈtʃɛrɛps] are dialectal variants for pine tree, from which are derived terepstsna turpentine and terepsant or terpant terpene.

Lexember 4th: Loanwords into Wippwo from Buruya Nzaysa (through Naidda).

Semantically related words in Buruya Nzaysa include yovla ‘superstition, unfounded reasoning’, nzesu’ə ‘incompatible thing’, mesə ‘insufficient thing’, yaba ‘faulty thing’, bɔvla ‘mistake, blunder, error’, sumɔ ‘falsehood, counterfactual statement’, tsəñe ‘unlikely or far-fetched explanation’, and ntsətəmla ‘point of disagreement’. All of these can be used to question the validity of a statement, but they all have slightly different connotations, which should be fairly obvious from the glosses.

hovwa 'fable, fairy-tale' < yovla
heβ 'cutie, sweetie, also as adj.' < elevation of yaba
sim 'fib, white lie' < sumɔ
šnei 'extreme, excessive (implies unfeasibility)' < *sñe < tsəñe
meis 'trinket' < 'mesə

[CatDoom]

Doing some catch-up, here's two more for the 3rd and 4th:

lamk [læmk]
1. (n.) a group of things, usually inanimate objects, that are somehow related or share a quality in common
2. (v.) to group or separate things by category

Related to 'amk, "family"

yippit- [jipʰit]
1. (adj.) orderly, well organized, neat
2. (adv.) in an orderly or regimented fashion, neatly

From yip-, "correct, well-formed," and pit-, "woven, built, man-made"

--

Just for good measure, here's an example sentence that makes use of both lexemes:

Yi yupputlomk pa li' momo.
[ji jupʰut-lɔmk pæ liʔ mɔ~mɔ]
must neatly\ADV-categorize\TR 2\NOM this tool\OBL-PL
"You must organize (group into categories in an orderly fashion) these tools."

[Nortaneous]

Oh what the hell. Insular Kett:

1. tamon 'adversarial system, Socratic reasoning', from Proto-Kett tánk 'dispute' + imperfective nominalizer -wən. Tank is preserved, but underwent semantic drift to mean 'require, force'. Possibly related to tah 'collide'. This gives tamni 'rhetorician, lawyer'.

Verre ngeulan euseru ca merancong; tamnan beseum kettw neuriccera. Euseruan atw iteus heungcera, namah tamnirian atw.
[ˈveʰʂɪ ˈŋuɫɐn ˈusɪɾʊ tsɐ mɪˈɾantsŋ̩ ˈtamnɐn bɪˈsum ˈke^ɸtʙ̥ ˈnuʑi^çtsɪɾɐ. ˈusɪɾwan ɔtʙ̥ iˈtus ˈhuŋtsɪɾɐ nɐˈmaχ ˈtamɲiʑɐn ɔtʙ̥]
Where the theocrats of old formed inquisitorial councils to find law, we today have an adversarial system. This is more just, they say, but it gives us more lawyers.
