I’m doing Lexember again and unlike before I’m actually way ahead! My focus this year was using the various derivation affixes and adding some essential words. This is going to be a long entry, so cut time!
Notes: The form -kal- separates long vowels or dipththongs, while -kalii- is used when it will be followed by a consonant. Paucals and plurals are Type 2 irregulars and take the form -kkal- / -kkalii-.
Notes: The form -miir- is used if it will form a string of three vowels. Paucals and plurals are Type 3 irregulars and take the form -miimir(a)-, -mimir(a)-.
Notes: -nala- used if would -nalak- would result in three consonants in a row
I don’t have them all done yet, but here are the ones that are.
Notes: Used most often in the sense of following a leader (or causing someone to need to lead)
Notes: Somewhat interchangeable with ŋomiirayza, and most often used for follow tracks, directions on a map, or to come after something.
