Bonus #Conlang #WordOfTheDay #ConlangWOTD for Polaran!

shílslaso ['ʃiɫs.la.sə] - outer space

From PP shíla, star + tólaté, road. Thought to refer to the visible band of the Milky Way in the sky. Also conceived as a place, but can be used in a general sense to mean "the cosmos" or "the universe"

#Conlang #WordOfTheDay #ConlangWOTD for Polaran!

kóma ['ko.mə] - sky

From the Proto-Polaric word kómaé, sky. This noun falls into the "place" class, as the sky was conceptualized as an entire world of its own. It still is referred to that way, despite advances in Polaran astronomy

"Hey! Listen!"

A very important phrase for fairies trying to get others' attention!

When they want to emphasize a phrase, say, to show it is an exclamation, fairies will circle it

De badudin iere ibviuli du'ebu tibvibrie, de ud ali dudik

"A human who hits a baby with a stick is bad"

Fairylang uses correlative clauses for relatives, so this could read as "Which human hits a baby with a stick, that one is bad"

Bapfu brieidwi wali!
"You can fly!"

... and we continue with adverbs filling in for what English would use auxiliary rl verbs for! The adverb 'brieidwi' would probably translate to "can" in English, but the verbs it modifies are finite

wuísátse [wʊ.'i.sæ.t͡seɪ] - "trans woman"

This word, as is a lot of Polaran LGBTQ vocabulary, borrowed from Shubawóthír. In Shubawóthír it actually just means "woman," coming from the Proto words elwú ("feminine") and ísáktsé ("spark; soul")

#WordOfTheDay #ConlangWOTD and today's #conlang is Polaran!

ríndrókód ['rin.dro.kod] - left
From Proto-Polaric ríndoórkévó,"heart-side"

tkeród [tkɛ'rod] - right
From PP udkóórkévó,"knife-side"

I like the implication that "stab-side" could apply to either direction
