A breakdown of this year's #Lexember. I created a total of 225 words in #Lasat, for an average of 7.26 words a day. Left, the number of words I created each day, and right is the total number of words split up by week (I counted the 29th, 30th, and 31st as week 5). This was fun! And probably insane.
A chart showing the number of words that I created per day of Lexember. A pie chart showing the amount of words I created per week as a percentage of the total.

Today's #Lasat #Lexember prompt for the r/conlangs prompt "Water". I'm still thinking about the Conworkshop prompt...

Happy New Year, everyone! For the last day of #Lasat #Lexember, here's my fill for @madelinejames.bsky.social 's prompt "Something associated with the turn of the year".

And finally, the r/conlangs #Lexember prompt was "Ice and Coolth". Stalactites/mites aren't necessarily related to this theme, but it felt like the word followed on naturally from icicle. #Lasat
bembaz /bem.baz/ n. frost from bem /bem/ n. leaf and bazim /ba.zim/ n. ice bazrahdz /baz.ɹa:d͡z/ n. icicle from bazim (above) and rahdz /ɹa:d͡z/ n. tooth tonduthrahdz /ton.duθ.ɹa:d͡z/ n. stalactite, stalagmite from tonduth /ton.duθ/ n. cave and rahdz (above) I also expanded the meaning of the word bazla /ba.zla/ to include the meanings "to harden, solidify". It already meant "to freeze".

For the Conworkshop #Lexember prompt, "Themeless". kati is one of the words that I've wanted to put a meaning to in #Lasat for ages. Just one of those left, fono - I'll have to think about what I want to do with that one.
kati /ka.ti/ v. reveal, uncover, expose A priori, though scholars have theorized a relation to the word tisiv /ti.siv/ n. cover, top, lid. jothkusva /d͡ʒoθ.kus.va/ v. to crawl, to creep; to scuttle from jothak /d͡ʒo.θak/ n. floor, foundation and kusva /kus.va/ v. to climb; to grip or cling to pekata /pe.ka.ta/ v. to surrender, submit, or yield from pega /pe.ga/ v. to lose and kati (above) drendrooch /dɹen.dɹu:t͡ʃ/ n. bracer (An armor component that covers either the upper or lower arm). from drendag /dɹen.dag/ n. armour and rooch /ɹu:t͡ʃ/ n. arm

For @madelinejames.bsky.social 's #Lexember prompt "A role in society", some worldbuilding for #Lasat that I've written about on other sites.
sembudsat /sem.bud.sat/ n. priest(ess), religious leader from sembe /sem.be/ v. to ask, pray, or beg; udie /u.di.e/ n. song, chant; and -sat /sat/ aff. “person who x”. This word is gender neutral. bastalman /ba.stal.man/ n. matriarch, clan mother; chief, leader from bastal /ba.stal/ n. clan, household, lineage and aman /a.man/ n. mother. This word is only applied to a woman. It is unusual for other genders to lead clans, however it does sometimes happen: the word is then bastaldan for a man and bastalyan for an individual of the Lasat third gender teeso. The clan leader does not always have to be biologically related to anyone else in the clan, nor do they have to be the oldest person.

The Conworkshop #Lexember prompt for today was "Spirits and the unseen folk". I'd also like to mention that as of the previous post, I have now met my official-unofficial stretch goal of 200 new entries for #Lasat 🎉

For @madelinejames.bsky.social 's #Lexember prompt "A formal greeting", I've been meaning to work on "Hello" and other greetings. In the 2nd image, #Lasat speaker Zeb demonstrates how to nira. (Disclaimer again as I do not own this character, I'm just a fan and not associated w/ Disney).
sazi /sa.zi/ int. “Hello”. from ve saina zik, /ve sai.na zik/ “I greet you”. ayon jomag /a.jon d͡ʒo.mag/ int. good morning. Usually used in the early morning. ayon korsas /a.jon koɹ.sas/ int. good day. Generic formal greeting. ayon chlu /a.jon t͡ʃlu/ int. good night. Greeting used at night. All of these words existed previously, I just put them together to make these formal greetings. nira /ni.ɹa/ v. to bow. This specifically refers to a gesture in which the bower puts one fist into the other palm then bows slightly, as opposed to vokra which is more similar to full prostration/ a kowtow. The nira bow is most appropriate to exchange between equals. From aynir /ai.niɹ/ v. to honour, venerate, or respect. Zeb demonstrating how to "nira". He has his left fist in his right palm, with the fingers of his right hand curled over his left hand. He is bowing from the waist.

To fill @madelinejames.bsky.social 's #Lexember prompt for today, I've enlisted the help of #Lasat speakers Chava and Gron to model for me.

@biblaridion.bsky.social's prompt for the 26th of #Lexember was "An astronomical phenomenon". I am now tempted to try and translate Steamed Hams into #Lasat for some reason.

The Conworkshop prompt for #Lexember 25 was "Along the River". My #Lasat entry had some teething troubles...
During the course of working on this prompt, I discovered that I had two words with the exact same meaning of "wood, timber, lumber", pasol and sorat. I kept soratand got rid of pasol, we'll see how that affects the language going forward. dora /do.ɹa/ v. to cross or ford fromdo'ar /do.ʔaɹ/ adp. opposite, across (from) dorom /do.ɹom/ n. ford, river crossing from dora (above) and rom /ɹom/ n. water. tagrom /ta.gɹom/ v. to dam or block; to seal or stop up from tagra /ta.gɹa/ v. to stop, cease, or finish and rom (above) thasor /θa.soɹ/ n. board, plank from thasuk /θa.suk/ adj. flat, even, level and sorat (see above) thasrom /θa.sɹom/ n. pier, dock, wharf, quay from thasor (above) and rom (above)
