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!

I’ve uploaded the newest version of the Nyjichun wikis! There is now one for the grammar and one for the lexicon (aka, all the words). They are SO a work in progress and are full of notes to myself and half-finished stuff.
In addition to that, I recently made a twine game for a jam on itch.io. I redid my conlang Tynthna. It now has actual IPA sounds and a few more words than it did before. And lots of sound recordings! Which may or may not be accurately said! (when in doubt, the orthography is canon). You can play it in your browser on itch.io.
That makes three conlangs that I’m sort of currently working on: Nyjichun, Tynthna, and Ie. I’ve also done a tiny bit in Ylis (the language of the Thunderian capital) lately, because I needed to be able to say Thunderian for on A Heroic Moment without actually referencing Thundercats. (It’s Lunderka for singular and Lunderkusa for plural – and that’s literally the only words I have for it right now, because the old version was from before I knew what IPA was).

Lexember 2017 - Nyjichxn #6
I don’t get to garden today. The Santa Ana winds damaged the fence so one of my roommates and the neighbor are fixing it. So instead, ya’ll get updates! Yay!
One of the fun but sometimes frustrating things about translating is that you keep finding situations where what you did before doesn’t work. This is one of them. In previous sentences zɯ got the accusative case marker, but it could be replaced by the answer. So, new rule was noted: zɯ can’t be replaced by an object answering the question, it’s unmarked.

Lexember check-in
Dec. 9th, 2017 06:38 amI've come up with a bunch of words for Nyjichxn because I was on a roll, but I have to do all the fiddly bits before they're ready to share. It won't be tomorrow, because I'm going to a thing. Probably won't be Sunday because I'm going to prune the heck outta the tomatoes and do other gardening crap. But those eight words are coming soon.

Lexember 2017 - Ie, Part 1
Ie was supposed to just be a naming language for use in my Shard-verse stories, but me being me, it’s grown a bit. I’m trying to restrain myself because I don’t need another big project AND I still can’t actually make names in it.
Since it’s a lot simpler than Ŋyjichɯn, being an isolating language, I’ll be doing a bunch at a time. I’ll give the IPA in parentheses.
- zŭ4xō4b – ornament, decoration (zu˧.χəp˧)
- cĭ6zu1 – name, title, to call (tʃy˧˩˥.zʊ̜˥)
- tyōu5 – flower, bloom (thjəʊ̜˧˥)
- diu1 – keep, possess, hold (tiŭ˥)
- diu1-wŭĭ7j – writing, to write (tiŭ˥.ɰuyj˩). From diu1 + ŭĭ7j (word)

Dec. 5th, 2016 10:39 amI suppose I should give some quick background on my language. It’s called Ŋyjichɯn ( /ɱɪ.ˈdʒi.ʧɯŋ/ ) Because of its stress and alternation the pronunciation doesn’t match the spelling, although it’s predictable if a bit complicated. It’s a polysynthetic language with heavy noun incorporation, affixing, and reduplication. The default word order is SOV, but in practice the most … Continue reading “”
