Hannaito (Entry 30):

hëufütsuwar /hɘuhɯᵝtuwar/ [ˈçɪ̈u̯.ɸɯᵝˌt͡su.wɑɾ]
Noun:
1. the northern sky
2. the stars, constellations/asterisms, and other celestial bodies visible in the northern sky
3. the northern pole star
4. the northern pole star personified as a deity (usually a goddess)
5. the heavenly realm/domain of the deity (usually a goddess) associated with the northern pole star

Alternative forms
hëubütsuwar, hëufütsuar, hëubutsuar
Etymology
From hëufü "north(ern); left" (< Proto-Hannaitoan *hilgu "left") + tsuwar "sky, heaven(s)" (< PH *tulaar "air, sky").
Related terms
Related terms include üihe "south(ern); right" (< PH *wuyhe "right"), zeüsur "east(ern); rising, floating" (< PH *gelu "to float" + *sud "heavy"), and üitasur "west(ern); setting, falling" (< PH *luuyca "to fall" + *sud "heavy"). These adjectives are most commonly nominalized via the suffixation of mou "side, flank" (< PH *mol "wing"): hëufümou "the north", üihemou "the south", zeüsurmou "the east", and üitasurmou "the west".
Usage notes
The goddess of the North Star is one of the most important figures in the Hannaichë religion, rivaling even the deities associated with the sun and moon, and is known by a number of different names and epithets. She may be referred to as Hëufütsuwar (lit. "the Northern Heavens"), the name of her celestial abode, or simply as Hëufüjërna (lit. "the North Star"). In her role as the patron deity of mariners, navigators, and the open sea, she is often called Dzüineron (lit. "the Fire amid the Brine"), Züppüffuren (lit. "Mother of the Horizon"), Toufuurün (lit. "the Harbor's Light"), Waiqëinechë (lit. "the Fish-Hauler"), or Yenhatchë (lit. "Lady of the Longship"), among other titles. In addition to being a type of boat adopted by the Hannaichë from some of their northern neighbors, the "Longship" referenced by this last epithet is a notable constellation/asterism in the northern part of the sky.

The North Star goddess is also commonly associated with leadership and the Hannaichë government. She may be portrayed at times as the celestial equivalent of either an elected monarch, an ërhoyeu (see Entry 10), or both, inspiring names such as Tsuwarqërchë (lit. "the Heavenly Hostess") and Shënnonhebe (lit. "the Great and Steadfast Queen"). This is in part because, according to Hannaichë mythology, she is not the first entity to hold the position of North Star deity, and she will not be the last. Similarly to how the role of ërhoyeu is periodically passed from one assembly member to another, or how a royal election is held upon the death or abdication of a monarch, it is believed that the goddess inherited her current domain from her father or grandfather, Wertormiuchë (lit. "the Old Captain"), and that she will one day transfer her duties to another star.

These stories seemingly reflect the fact that, much like on Earth, the "axial precession" of the planet on which Hannaito is spoken (name TBD) results in the pole stars changing over time, shifting gradually as part of a cycle that takes tens of thousands of years to complete. The star that the Hannaichë call Hëufütsuwar was not always, and will not always be, the North Star. The previous North Star was probably the star that the Hannaichë identify as Wertormiuchë. However, it has likely been at least 2000 years since the current Hëufüjërna took over the role of North Star from her "(grand)father" Wertormiuchë, and neither the Hannaichë nor any of the other groups of people with whom they are in frequent contact have written records going that far back. Nevertheless, knowledge of this cycle may have been preserved as part of Hannaichë "folk memory" and passed down orally over the millennia.

ólag /ólàʕ/ [ólàʕ] v. 'to placate, to pacify, to calm s.o. down, to appease'

[Iyionaku]

Finally I'm back at home and can get back to shimo's weekly feedback!

Not a big deal, of course, but I assume you mean "crow"?

Yeah of course! I just became aware that I have written this word wrong for all my live. I guess I confused it with the onomatopoeia for the sound of a crow, which in German is Krah! Krah!

I love this -(g)am suffix! It feels very realistic. I know I've seen similar things identified (however tentatively) in natural languages before, though the only specific example I can think of right now is the theory mentioned here regarding why some Semitic words for "dangerous animals" seemingly share a root-final *-b.

Thank you! My inspiration was a similar suffix in German, -ling, which appears in many bird species as well, although it is not limited to it.

çarvinot "raspberry"

çarvinot /ˌtsar.viˈnɔt/ [ˌtsɑː.viˈnɔt]
- raspberry, the plant Rubus idaeus or the red fruit thereof;
- purple-red, the colour of the ripe fruit

Etymology; further diminutive of obsolete çarvin, cervin, itself abbreviated from Old Boral baȝ cervin "raspberry, lit. fawn berry". The Old Boral cervin "fawn, young deer" is a derivative of çarf "deer", from synonymous cervus in Latin.

excerpt from Lux Æterna: The First Century of Threshold Force, written in 2002 (at the time in Dutch with the title Onslackbar Vláy: Drampelstøweth tÿdes har Rést Éw "Unquenchable Fire: Threshold Force in its First Century") by Cawen ba Dirxen at the Varonøw Higher Edifice. This documentarian book was commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the discovery of the atomic nux [nucleus] in the city's Nÿstad Atellier (then privately owned and run by substantial theorist Lohic Courvoisier de Nÿstad).

…has since 1996 produced more killdark [uranium]—predominantly processed immediately into tarmarette [yellowcake] form—than the combined output of all Chrysia [Australia].

Hints at the discrete nature of the composition of atoms (a phrase which itself would not have sat well with either side of the Atomicity Rift; atomicists were yet wedded to the intrinsic Leucippic model, while their opposition regarded the entire scheme as a merely useful fiction) had been encroaching into the understanding of matter for decades. Since the first corporal enumerations [periodic tables] in the 1840s it had been realised that naïvely ordering corporals by weight led to inelegant groupings when alchemical properties were taken into account (most notably the strong motivation to place janthine [iodine] among its detaxional brethren like muria [chlorine]), and no theoretical basis for these transpositions would be proposed for decades.

At the same time, the apparently-unrelated phenomenon where the lightest elements had all been measured to have weights almost exact multiples of that of aquifex [hydrogen], while this was not true at all of heavier ones (even such prosaic substances as copper!), demanded explanation. In 1881—a dozen years before the invention of a device that could even test her theory—Kievan theorist Nike Sarantylack proposed to resolve both questions at once. Her "raspberry" model (so-called by her detractors) supposed each atom to comprise a number of each of two different…

aoparda/auparda [aʊ̯ˈpaɾdɐ] - patriotism
Etymology: uncertain; linked to iava "to love" and an old word for "region"

ubictað "ubiquity"

ubictað /ˌi.bɪkˈtaθ/ [ˌi.bɪkˈtah]
- ubiquity, omnipresence, the quality of being everywhere;
- totalism, universalism, ideology characterised by the application of principles uniformly in all contexts;
- Ubiquity, a particular ideology which rose to prominence in the late nineteenth century and defined one pole of global power through the twentieth

Etymology: late medieval borrowing from non-classical Latin ubīquitās "ubiquity", nominal derivation of ubīque "everywhere". Applied in philosophical contexts throughout the Latinate Vetomund from the sixteenth century, and used in particular for Ubiquity (originally as an insult) in 1848, in the translation of lady explorer Poshack Nerwaman's dismissive critique of political developments in Mashick [*Mexico].

This year, Chanukkah ends at sunset tonight.

Bonus words: zesheyo, tonight (portmanteau of zewum, today and sheyo, night)

Borrowing from Spanish

Pasukuwa ba Mophasha ño Shaleyob yunim Pasukuwa lay?
Easter of kelp_bunny with Shaleyan celebrate Easter Q
Do Shaleyans celebrate Easter with the Easter Kelp Bunny?

The kelp bunny is a kelp-munching aquatic creature of Shaleya, from the same phylum as the lepuma (cartilaginous skeleton and all). It has a head and ears like a rabbit, but no lapine feet. Think of it as a mermaid-bunny.

DAY 28

deroved from seña, world

Kosok ninilod ba sala is señu ab ba yonal.
great division of time at come_of_age 1s of generation

Kaliphoña an akha mekash hel Osey Ñol ba Phiyu.
California in moment still COP new year of eve
It is still New Year's Eve in California.

Bonus word: Kaliphoña: California (Terran borrowing)

NEW GRAMMAR: Sak (the usual pronoun for "it" -- an inanimate third-person singular) is not used for "it" in statements such as "It is raining". That would just be expressed as Duñoy. (the verb "to rain"). (Such verbs are considered patientive in Shaleyan, for one can say such things as Duñoy en. (We watched it rain).)

Nor would one use sak when talking about the time. Rather, make the subject akha (moment), and place the time after hel (to be):

Shaleya an akha hel Dañaw.
Shaleya on moment COP Dañaw
It was Dañaw on Shaleya.


At the end of last Lexember, Shaleyan had gone up to 3,224 words. Now, Shaleyan is up to 3,386 words -- the third largest Leholang's lexicon after Achel's 4,000+ and Kankonian's 80,000+.

I participated in Lexember here for the first time last year; I had hoped to do so again this year, but life got in the way, and I did not have the time or the creative energy to come up with a word every day. I did however, come up with words for the first three days (Dec. 1-3, for the theme of “Threes”), and I wanted to try and share them before the year was up.

Chusole:

Day 1:

shu /ʃu/ – three


Day 2:

shuliutá /ʃu.lju.'tha/ – trio, group of three people

= shu “three” + liuto “person” + -á (animate collective suffix)


Day 3:

shuholontoh /'ʃu.hol.on.thoh/ ['ʃu.hol.ɔn.thox] – carriage pulled by three horses

= shu “three” + holon “horse” + -toh (inanimate agentive suffix)

(c.f. Russian тройка troika, of similar meaning and construction)

I am sorry that I do not have more to offer, but I wanted to go and ahead and post these, now that I have the chance.

Happy New Year everyone, and best wishes for the year ahead!

So I've been absent for a bit because I've been reworking HTAP to have a bit of 'diachrony' behind it, and now that I'm (sort of) finished with that, I'm gonna post some Lexember words
Lexember 20-31
20 köj3 /kəɕ˥˩/ land, ground (as opposed to water, sky, underground) from *təŋgáyskik
21 e̋k2döng3öj2 /ɤ:k˥dəŋ˥˩əɕ˥/ forest (biome) from *əypítkəd təŋgáyskik; əypítkəd > rék1

26 kuöö4 /kʷə:˩˥/ people, nation, ethnicity from *də'wəbi

31 pu3-cang2 /pu˥˩t͡ɕaŋ˥/ to drink, to sip

My next, post-Lexember step is to work out how verbs will work

[Khemehekis]

Mell'acquetta er çarvinot ramenant starc.
/mɛˌla.kwɛˈta ɛr ˌtsar.viˈnɔt ˌra.meˈnant stark/
[mɪˌla.kwɪˈta ɛː ˌtsɑː.vɪˈnɔt ˌʀa.mɪˈnan stɑːk]
1s.gen-liqueur cop.pst raspberry evoke-p.pst strong
My liqueur tasted strongly of raspberries.

I chuckled at the word for liqueur being acquetta, because there's a new-age musician named Aquetta in Inner Bruise.

So, this Lexember was once again a big success for the Yélian dictionary. I could add a total of 172 new entries to the lexicon, pushing it to a total of 6,415 entries. I might be able to reach 7,000 before the language's 10th birthday in spring 2024!

DEF.CONC=patriotism be_like-3SG DEF.CONC=love.family DEF.GEN=parent-PL for 3PL.POSS toddler | DEF.CONC=nationalism be_like-3SG DEF.CONC=love.family DEF.GEN=toddler for 3SG.MASC.POSS parent-PL
Patriotism is like the love of parents for their toddler. Nationalism is like the love of a toddler for his parents.

This is great; did you come up with this quote? (You're the only Google hit for "Patriotism is like the love of parents for their toddler", so . . .)

Haha, I wished, but no. I have definitely read it somewhere, but I couldn't remember how the quote went properly so I needed to paraphrase. I googled too to find who I need to quote here, but I didn't get further than you either.
