Second, I published a poem in\u00a0Eternal Haunted Summer<\/em> called “What Remains in the Ruins<\/a>.” There’s a lot of great stuff in the Winter Solstice issue from many talented people.<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to make a lot of my wintertime vocabulary for Tveshi today \u2014 a really weird oversight considering that the culture has its roots in a high-latitude region of Ameisa. I had words for\u00a0snow<\/em> and\u00a0cold<\/em> in Narahji despite the warm climate, for a quick contrast. In my Tveshi lexicon work, I’m happy with the word for\u00a0ice<\/em> \u2014\u00a0jiashei<\/strong>, literally\u00a0water-glass<\/em>. Ice frozen on surfaces is called\u00a0khereshei(\u0107)<\/strong>,\u00a0water-tile(s)<\/em>. North Tvaji continent winters are icy rather than snowy. To get truly snowy winters, one would need to travel across the ocean to the Amur region.<\/p>\n

Day 17<\/h2>\n

Ho<\/strong> \/ho\u028a\u032f\/ n. \u00a0Meat<\/em>. Adjective hohi<\/strong> \/\u02c8ho\u028a\u032f.\u00e7i\/, meaty, umami-filled, filling, satisfying<\/em>. Verb ahohit<\/strong> \/\u028c.\u02c8ho\u028a\u032f.\u00e7it\u032a\/, to raise livestock for meat<\/em>. Annolisho<\/strong> \/\u028c\u0303\u00f0.o\u028a.\u02c8li.\u0283o\u028a\u032f\/, meat animal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Vegetarianism\/veganism is not prevalent in Sabaji parts of Tvesh\u0117 and is typically associated with social classes that cannot afford as much meat. The Sabaji Tveshi eat what is prepared by their families.\u00a0Various priesthoods and shrines have their own ritual purity standards that might limit food groups. Meat, however, is very socially sought.<\/p>\n

Among the \u1ecagzarhjenya, vegetarianism\/veganism is a mourning diet practiced 1-3 years after the death of close family members, marked by the phrase \u00e4rrgorrophontis \u00f1udssa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Day 18<\/h2>\n

Ir\u00e5<\/strong> \/\u02c8i.\u027e\u0254\/ n. Translation<\/em>. Ar\u00e5hit<\/strong> \/\u028c.\u02c8\u027e\u0254.\u00e7it\u032a\/, to translate<\/em>. Another term for to translate<\/em> is<\/p>\n

\nto twist through collected words<\/em><\/p>\n

On Twitter, I then deviated into plausible dystopian scenarios involving books that occasionally happen in my writing:<\/p>\n

M\u0117 khanem akouanait \u00e5sseka\u0107 jinnahio.<\/strong>
\nI forced people to burn books. <\/em><\/p>\n

M\u0117 khanem peimu innod\u00e5kouri.<\/strong>
\nI forced the librarian away. <\/em><\/p>\n

M\u0117 khanem fem peimu innod\u00e5kouri.<\/strong>
\nI forced the librarian away from ler place.<\/em><\/p>\n

In my lexicon, the above sentences actually illustrate how the word\u00a0pei<\/strong> (place<\/em>) is used. The base word, when used with suffixes like\u00a0-mu<\/strong>, can indicate directionality. To emphasize that you do<\/em> mean a place, the article needs to appear before any indirect use of\u00a0pei<\/strong>, as in\u00a0fem peimu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Day 19<\/h2>\n
