That should, of course, be dōnon zākon. Heh. I hope someone got fired for THAT blunder…
Next up for #HighValyrian #Lexember: zākon “mint”. I like mint in savory things. It’s a fun little surprise. :) #conlang

My Nómàk'óla sentence for #Lexember 3 is "Àhópžèllíssuuppéþólsìŋóču'o" ("Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the flour."). You can read more about the sentence and the words I created today for its translation at www.quothalinguist.com/2025/12/03/l....

Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is bāne “hot”. It’s also used for dija, which also means “hot”, but hot inside, not to the touch. #conlang #hotd #houseofthedragon #language #orthography #highvalyrian

For #Lexember this year we’re doing words related to the board game we’re building Sovála. Over on our YouTube channel we’re creating conlangs for each of our animal kingdoms. Today’s word comes from our rabbit language Engála. It’s the word imé “rabbit”. :) #conlang #language #langtime #lts

It's the first day of #Lexember. Today is @quothalinguist.bsky.social's first prompt, "A way of preparing food" (specifically for processing steps before cooking, such as chopping, grinding, mixing, etc).

It just sounded right
Thanks to Jessie Peterson of @LangTimeStudio for the prompt.

I'm pretty much out of spoons, both mentally and especially literally, but have my first #lexember contribution anyway - from a language (still) provisionally titled "North Great Bay". Today's semantic theme is "food prep before cooking"

It’s #Lexember again! We’re doing a root a day! Today’s root is going to generally be glossed as HAVE, but it has a more general meaning related to possession, so give, take, receive, steal, and to have a trait will all be derived from it.
Sehesjan Root #1: sen, HAVE

#Lexember has started! It’s the month where conlangers share a word they’ve coined in one of their conlangs. In my case, I share a new #HighValyrian glyph each day, and today’s glyph is associated with ñuragon which means “to grind”. #conlang #Valyrian #hotd #HouseOfTheDragon

These Suns are exciting and give me a lot of hope. That’s not what I was expecting this season. Good fight.

I like the new @mercuryphx.bsky.social logo better than the previous, but I don’t think it’s a final. It’s close. I love the moon which evokes the old Coyotes logo. Would love that to become a general Phoenix motif! #WNBA #Mercury #PhoenixMercury
