This is the final leg of #Lexember! If you’ve been following my account @eamarubhe, you may be interested in following me @kayeboesme, which is active more often. I think @eamarubhe may transform into an account related to the fiction monologue podcast I am hard at work on. My development of Eamaru is related to the podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leam<\/strong> \/l\u025b\u0361\u0252\u0308m\/, parent.<\/em> Leamn<\/strong> \/l\u025b\u0361\u0252\u0308m.\u02c8n\u0329\/, something related to parenting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leamnzi<\/strong> \/l\u025b\u0361\u0252\u0308m.\u02c8n\u0329.\u02cczi\/, birth parent.<\/em> I’ve used the term birth parent<\/em> here because the social gender system offers some ambiguity about the gender of the person who gives birth. There’s a temple-based renunciation of gender called za\u1e25eim<\/strong>, and these individuals will often start families during a hiatus from temple service. Eamau gender is based on a combination of biology and the social role of an individual (AKA the push and pull of who someone is and society at large). Birth parents are always kua\u1e96e, kuall, za\u1e25eim, jiut veyrin, or nijmi veyrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kua\u1e96e<\/strong> somewhat corresponds to our idea of women, and it’s a gender that is typecast into roles related to family and household, neighborhood, and city affairs. Kuall<\/strong> is a gender that is expected to be more warlike, outgoing\/roaming, and less inclined to family affairs. Jinri<\/strong> means something similar to trans women, often used as an adjective, as in kua\u1e96e jinrin or kuall jinrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jiut<\/strong> somewhat corresponds to men. This gender is expected to do physical labor, fighting, and physically dangerous entertainment and jobs. The gender nijmi<\/strong> is less so. They often work in finance and business, and their socially accepted role is similar to kuall-me, but they’re seen as softer and less confrontational than kuall-me or jiut-me. Veyri<\/strong> means something similar to trans man, often seen as an adjective in jiut veyrin or nijmi veyrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Birth parent relatives: Non-birth parent relatives: Generics: Eliu<\/strong> \/\u0259.\u02c8li\u0361y\/, the part of a family that lives together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meaz<\/strong> \/m\u025b\u0361\u0252\u0308z\/, family<\/em>.

Meaza<\/strong> \/m\u025b\u0361\u0252\u0308.\u02c8z\u0251\/, powerful family. Meazaszi<\/strong> \/m\u025b\u0361\u0252\u0308.\u02c8z\u0251.\u02ccz\u02d0i\/ someone disowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meazaszi eze ei \u00f0e\u1e25e zei!<\/strong> In the above sentence, \u00f0e\u1e25e<\/strong> is a particle that indicates the imperative future tense. It’s difficult to translate this into English because our word must<\/em> could also mean that some speaker is incredulously referring to people who have done something scandalous. That meaning is not present in the Eamaru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sautor<\/strong> \/s\u0252\u0308\u0361y.\u02c8t\u032ao\u027e\/, to conquer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Siub sauto ba riu \u1e96am set \u00f0alleta-me viuno ba.<\/strong> Today’s #Lexember refers to the political strife in Eamau society that has led to the teas<\/strong> (slums) existing in the first place within conquered cities \u2014 typically in the buildings ravaged by war while the new city springs up in walled areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s also a coy memorial reference to the destruction of temples and outlawing of non-Christian religions in Late Antiquity, plus the murder of philosophers like Hypatia. So.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yat<\/strong> \/j\u0251t\u032a\/, school<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yat no eal-me<\/strong> Yat vusn Yat no \u00f0alleta-me Yat no ifhea lloktn Uzmait<\/strong> \/yz.\u02c8m\u0252\u0308\u0361it\u032a\/, regulation. Uzmaitn<\/strong> \/yz.\u02c8m\u0252\u0308\u0361it\u032a.\u02ccn\u0329\/, regulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two examples below use negation words that are applied to nouns or used on their own, nai\u00f0<\/strong> and alli<\/strong>. The word nai\u00f0<\/strong> is used to indicate negative-sentiment negation, and I’ve translated it as lack of<\/em> in the example below, but it could also mean noticed absence<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alli<\/strong> is just no <\/em>\u2014 it indicates that the noun it accompanies is not present. Alem nai\u00f0<\/strong> and alem alli<\/strong>, the word mistake<\/em> attached to the negation particle, mean without a problem<\/em> and no mistake<\/em> respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zaut-me viuno uzmait nai\u00f0.<\/strong> Zaut-me viuno uzmait alli.<\/strong> Jal<\/strong> \/\u0292\u0251l\/, snow<\/em>.

In Upstate NY, even when it isn’t snowy, there’s often a layer of snow on the ground even when sidewalks and roads are passable.
