Lexember has been going well, and one of its biggest benefits is that I’ve started rendering things in IPA. Going forward on my podcast, I think I will actually just render Tveshi and Narahji words\u00a0in IPA<\/em> for my script version \u2014 it’ll be a lot easier to minimize my American vowel accent that way.<\/p>\n

This is the “teachers and ancestors” post, so named because I want to start out with a longer word that I cannot fit in tweets\u00a0\u2014 the Tveshi word for\u00a0teacher<\/em>,\u00a0f\u00e5goim<\/strong> \/\u02c8f\u0251.go\u0361\u028aim\/.<\/p>\n

F\u00e5goim is a good word for showing something important with Tveshi articles. Tveshi articles are not mandatory in most cases, nor are they used often. Here’s an example:<\/p>\n

Mesh fayiem gefai m\u0117i.<\/strong>
\n\/M\u025b\u0283 \u02c8f\u0251.ji\u025b\u032fm \u02c8g\u025b.fa\u026a\u032f \u02c8m\u025b.\u0294i.\/
\nWe performed last rites for my grandmother.<\/em><\/p>\n

This directly glosses to:<\/p>\n

Mesh fay-iem gefai mei.
\n<\/strong>1PL perform-last-rites-PST-PL grandmother 1S-POSS.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is no article present in the actual Tveshi accompanying\u00a0grandmother<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Articles, where they appear, come\u00a0after<\/em> the noun in most cases. In these places, one uses an article for emphasis. They come\u00a0before<\/em> the noun in others. The difference between\u00a0kin\/em\u1ecb kena<\/strong> (an obsession or crush) and\u00a0kena kin<\/strong> (the desire) relies on whether the article precedes or follows the noun. In the former case, it’s necessary for meaning; in the latter, it’s emphatic. One could actually say\u00a0em\u1ecb kena em\u1ecb<\/strong>\u00a0to refer to a crush emphatically.<\/p>\n

Words like\u00a0teacher<\/em>, on the other hand, showcase some formality features in modern Tveshi that involve articles. One’s own\u00a0teacher is f\u00e5goim m\u0117i<\/strong>, as an example \u2014 the word teacher<\/em> with the possessive pronoun.<\/p>\n

To show respect to a teacher one has never had, the archaic articles for people are used in front<\/em> of the word, not after \u2014 em\u1ecb f\u00e5goim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Within philosophical schools, someone who is not directly one’s teacher is referred to with the article feim<\/strong>, typically reserved for ghosts in old liturgical texts. This is because the ghost of that person’s teaching are within one’s own teacher.<\/p>\n

M\u0117 \u0107alimem em f\u00e5goim l\u1ecbfa nossu v\u0117i gopesem.<\/strong>
\nI comforted a teacher.HON when ler.FORM student died.<\/em>
\n(Em<\/strong> is the object form of\u00a0em\u1ecb<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

M\u0117 \u0107alimem f\u00e5goim m\u0117i l\u1ecbfa nossu gopesem m\u0117shepui.<\/strong>
\nI comforted my teacher when a student among us died.<\/em><\/p>\n

M\u0117 \u0107alimem fan f\u00e5goim l\u1ecbfa nossu gopesem m\u0117shepui.<\/strong>
\nI comforted a teacher.HON when a student among us died.<\/em>
\n(Fan<\/strong> is the object form of\u00a0feim<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

The adjective henef\u00e5goini<\/strong>, teacherless<\/em>, is a pejorative used against socially disruptive teachings or those who adhere to them. F\u00e5goini<\/strong> is the adjective teaching<\/em>, as in nonakh\u0117 f\u00e5goini<\/strong>, a teaching forest<\/em> used in forestry and agricultural education.<\/p>\n

Sif\u00e5goim<\/strong> indicates the education industry, with f\u00e5goinekouri<\/strong> meaning a teacher in the context of primary and secondary education. F\u00e5goinekouri<\/strong> is never used for philosophical school teachers or teachers in higher education.<\/p>\n

Uf\u00e5goim<\/strong> is often used for university-level faculty.<\/p>\n

The verb af\u00e5goinit<\/strong> means to teach, to nurture a teaching in someone<\/em>. The word for families instructing\/teaching children is amolit<\/strong>, with the adjective moli<\/strong> and noun mola<\/strong>. Fanago\u0107 m\u0117i mola athuait mesh<\/strong>. My parents taught us to sing sacred songs.<\/em><\/p>\n

#Lexember on Twitter<\/h2>\n

On Day 9, I realized that many on Twitter might not realize that I am doing 20-30 entries a day, as I intend to fix my Tveshi dictionary and grammar this month despite how daunting a project it actually is.<\/p>\n

To select which entries to tweet, I think about which ones are (a) cool and (b) can fit in a single tweet. Sometimes, this fails because things like ancestors and ghosts are cool \u2014 but a snapshot tweet of what I’m doing is my intention. I have plenty of short entries, such as:<\/p>\n

\u00e5sseka<\/strong>, book
\ngeha<\/strong>, peak
\nmodakoura<\/strong>, committee
\nhahi<\/strong>, broken
\nfeas\u00e5<\/strong>, scroll
\nhjo<\/strong>, bed<\/p>\n

\u2026 and none of these has a lengthy entry. (Well,\u00a0geha<\/strong> does.)<\/p>\n

Day 8<\/h3>\n

No\u00f1a<\/strong>\u00a0\/\u02c8no\u028a\u032f.\u0272\u028c\/ n.\u00a0Quietude, stillness, restfulness.<\/em>
\nAdjective\u00a0no\u00f1i<\/strong>\u00a0\/\u02c8no\u028a\u032f.\u0272i\/,\u00a0quiet, still, restful<\/em>. Evokes the quality of silence near the winter solstice when walking at night in snowy stillness.
\nVerb\u00a0ano\u00f1it<\/strong>\u00a0\/\u028c.\u02c8no\u028a\u032f.\u0272it\u032a\/,\u00a0to rest, to be still, to be quiet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Day 9<\/h3>\n

Atiato<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.\u02c8t\u032ai\u0251\u032f.t\u032ao\/ n.\u00a0Stream<\/i>.\u00a0Atiatohi<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.t\u032ai\u028c\u032f.\u02c8t\u032ao.\u00e7i\/,\u00a0stream-like<\/i>.\u00a0Atiatohit<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.t\u032ai\u028c\u032f.\u02c8t\u032ao.\u00e7it\u032a\/,\u00a0to stream<\/i>. Colloquially,\u00a0atiato\u00a0<\/b>describes things that are steady, but manageable & habitual.<\/p>\n

The Tveshi version of the Internet is called\u00a0atiatoennaji<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.t\u032ai\u028c\u032f.t\u032ao\u028a\u032f.\u0259\u0303\u00f0.\u02c8\u0251.\u0292i\/,\u00a0streamspace-of-people<\/i>.\u00a0Atiatoenna<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.t\u032ai\u028c\u032f.t\u032ao\u028a\u032f.\u02c8\u0259\u0303\u00f0.\u028c\/ is used to describe public goods and benefits paid for by the citizenry.<\/p>\n

I decided to post this word predominantly due to Net Neutrality. The Tveshi Internet is very unlike ours, as social media platforms beyond an online forum system do not exist. One generally communicates via text or vid.<\/p>\n

Day 10<\/h3>\n

D\u0117<\/b>\u00a0\/d\u025b\/ n.\u00a0Stone<\/i>.\u00a0Di<\/b>\u00a0\/di\/,\u00a0durable<\/i>,\u00a0made of stone<\/i>.
\nAs a verb,\u00a0adit<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8\u0251.dit\u032a\/,\u00a0to solidify<\/i>, is used in metaphor to describe things that are made solid like stone.
\nColloquially,\u00a0di<\/b>\u00a0is used to refer to reliable people.<\/p>\n

Day 11<\/h3>\n

Daiah\u0117<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8da\u026a\u0361a.h\u0259\/ n.\u00a0The quality of being in good order; orderly symmetry.\u00a0<\/i>Ef\u1ecbhjo fem\u1ecb hat daiah\u0117.<\/b>\u00a0That bedroom feels right<\/i>\u00a0(and is clean).
\nDaiahi<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8da\u026a\u0361a.\u00e7i\/,\u00a0clean, well-ordered<\/i>.
\nAdaiahit<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.\u02c8da\u026a\u0361a.\u00e7it\u032a\/,\u00a0to clean, to put in order.<\/i><\/p>\n

Day 12<\/h3>\n

\u0106aofo<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8t\u0283\u0251o\u032f.fo\u028a\u032f\/ n.\u00a0Vine<\/i>.\u00a0A\u0107aofoit<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.\u02c8t\u0283\u0251o\u032f.fo\u0361\u028ait\u032a\/ is\u00a0to vine<\/i>. A blood-vine tree is called called\u00a0yoi tho\u0107aofoi<\/b>\u00a0\/jo\u0361\u028ai \u03b8o\u028a\u032f.\u02c8t\u0283ao\u032f.fo\u0361\u028ai\/or\u00a0yoi kouveshi<\/b>\u00a0\/jo\u0361\u028ai k\u02bcou\u032f.\u02c8v\u025b.\u0283i\/,\u00a0tree blood-vining<\/i>\u00a0or\u00a0heart-containing tree.<\/i><\/p>\n

When I talk about blood-vines or blood-vining trees in Epiphany<\/em>, I am never being metaphorical. These are not actually trees. They are a type of life-form on Ameisa that moves extremely slowly, a plant-esque\u00a0fruiting animal<\/em>. The fruits are complete protein sources within which the eggs hide. They bleed real Ameisi blood.<\/p>\n

Day 13<\/h3>\n

Fu<\/b>\u00a0\/fu\/ n.\u00a0Patience<\/i>.\u00a0Ofui<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8o\u028a.fui\u032f\/,\u00a0patient<\/i>.\u00a0Afuit<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8\u0251.fui\u032ft\u032a\/,\u00a0to wait for<\/i>.
\nM\u0117 fuata fauyo.\u00a0<\/b>\/M\u025b \u02c8fu\u0251\u032f.t\u028c \u02c8fa\u028a\u032f.jo\u028a\u032f.\/\u00a0I had waited for a parent.<\/i>\u00a0This is using the expectant verb mood, which is a bit hard to make idiomatic in English.<\/p>\n

To make the verb\u00a0to consider<\/i>, one uses the suffix that means\u00a0towards<\/i>. Depending on the noun class, this could be\u00a0-su<\/b>,\u00a0-sui<\/b>, or –s\u0117a<\/b>. The suffixes for\u00a0towards<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0inside of\/in<\/i>\u00a0have actually merged somewhat, and\u00a0towards<\/em> is often now shortened to\u00a0-s<\/strong> for all noun classes. I’m rendering it in the formal version below.<\/p>\n

M\u0117 fuata fauyosui.<\/b>\u00a0\/M\u025b \u02c8fu\u0251\u032f.t\u028c \u02c8fa\u028a\u032f.jo\u028a\u032f.sui\u032f.\/\u00a0I had expected to consider a parent.<\/i><\/p>\n

Day 14<\/h3>\n

Faya<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8f\u0251.j\u028c\/ n.\u00a0Ancestor<\/i>. Appears as\u00a0fayi<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8f\u0251.ji\/ for\u00a0ancestral<\/i>. The verb\u00a0afayit<\/b>\u00a0\/\u028c.\u02c8f\u0251.jit\/ is used for\u00a0death<\/i>\u00a0or\u00a0last rites<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Mesh fayiem gefai m\u0117i.<\/b>\u00a0\/M\u025b\u0283 \u02c8f\u0251.ji\u025b\u032fm \u02c8g\u025b.fa\u026a\u032f \u02c8m\u025b.\u0294i.\/\u00a0We performed last rites for my grandmother.<\/i><\/p>\n

In slang, one uses the term\u00a0fakha<\/b>\u00a0to refer to a friend with whom one has fallen out \u2014 and depending on tone, it is either pejorative or regretful.<\/p>\n

Fakha em\u1ecb meshem m\u0117 vo n\u1ecbnni mohuyem moda nusi.<\/b>
\n\u02c8f\u0251.\u0280\u028c \u02c8\u025b.m\u026a \u02c8m\u025b\u0283.\u0259m m\u025b vo\u028a\u032f \u02c8n\u026a\u0303.\u00f0i mo\u028a\u032f.\u02c8xu.j\u0259m \u02c8mo\u028a\u032f.d\u028c nusi.
\nThe ghost forgot me and never wrote a comforting word.<\/i><\/p>\n

Which leads me to something else: There are two words for\u00a0and<\/i>\u00a0in Tveshi.\u00a0Vo<\/b>\u00a0\/vo\u028a\u032f\/ is used when the subject of the two phrases is the same.\u00a0Nia<\/b>\u00a0\/ni\u0251\u032f\/ is used when the subject is different in the next phrase.<\/p>\n

There are also positive and negative words for\u00a0but<\/i>:<\/p>\n

petai<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8p\u025b.t\u032aa\u026a\u032f\/
\npehia<\/b>\u00a0\/\u02c8p\u025b.\u00e7i\u028c\u032f\/<\/p>\n

\nV\u0117 vas fayem pehia \u0107\u00e5 deihat uhio.<\/b>\u00a0(negative connotation)
\nLe died, but you achieved a success.<\/i><\/p>\n

Day 15<\/h3>\n

(Note: You may see that I changed this title. That is because Dec. 15 is the one I forgot to hashtag, and I was like, wait, but it’s the 16th! That’s why.)<\/em><\/p>\n

Reflexively, it means that no weapon was used.<\/p>\n
