Lexember entry – Dhakhsh
ngech [ŋet͡ɕ] adj. : back, end, rear.
The location of the end is relative to the speaker. So the top of a live tree to a person on the ground is the "end" of the tree. The back of something can also be considered "the other side."

qikhthlu [ˈqix.θluʔ] n. : dark energy or magic/arts. This is a very recent discovery. There is so little data that I am unable to understand what it means, and whether or not it was controlled or controllable.

padul [ˈpa.dɯl] adj. : dull (of a blade);
jek ngozhdarm padul hezhjei
"They (sing.) have a dull blade"
This is an idiomatic phrase to describe a person who cannot perform warrior duties due to incompetency. -

𝗸𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗷𝗮'𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗹 [xoɾ.d͡ʑaʔ.ˈɢɛɫ] 𝑛. : survivor (𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐. 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠)
This #dhakhsh word really resonates with me. The thought crossed my mind that I could also translate this as "combat veteran," but I do not feel like it captures the meaning. I plan to get this tattooed as homage to my wife—a cancer survivor.

In the script I tweaked the letter <e> in two ways:
First, I decided to try creating a ligature for consonants with a tail to the right, as seen in the very first glyph. Second, I removed the upward trailing tail as I had in the last post.
I then added a diacritic to indicate the diphthong [eɪ].

In this sentence, the verb nguzhdhrag is rather interesting. It would seem to be an over-complicated word for "to be, exist." But here it has a deep meaning of existence. In fact, it also can be translated as "to be alive." In this example, it gives the adjective a sense of near over-saturation.

new sentence in #Dhakhsh:
[dɛɕ squɾ te ŋœt͡ɕ dæ.ˈnɯðɢ ŋɯʑ.ðɾə.ˈgoɪ]
Latinized: desh squr te ngoetch dænudhgh nguzhdhragoi.
DEF.ART die.INF POSS star beautiful.ADJ exist.SG
The death of a star is beautiful.
Read vertically top to bottom, right to left.

Just came up with a new word and a possible new way to write the vowel [i], depicted as the hook at the end of the horizontal line. I previously assigned it as a simple dot to the right of the consonant. The horizontal line represents the lateral approximant (I'm not sure where the specific point of articulation is at the moment). I wrote it using the average pencil and tweaked the photo. This word is:
𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡 [ɢlit͡ɕ] 𝑛. • fire, flame

I have two conlangs:
#Lortho [ˈloɾ.tʰo], an Indo-Iranian-inspired agglutinating language with #VSO word order and 10 grammatical cases. I created a LTR, horizontal #writingsystem that is used solely to write Lortho inspired by Tibetan, Devanagari, and Tengwar.
#Dhakhsh [ðæxɕ], a Germanic-inspired analytic language with #SOV word order. I created a vertical, top-to-bottom, RTL writing system used solely to write Dhakhsh inspired by Mongolian, Pahlavi, and Avestan.

Here is a comparison between day one (broad nib) vs now (brush tip). They both say the same thing: #Ngezhtulk—the writing system for #Dhakhsh. The one on the right was a pure abjad, and the left is an alphabet. I wanted to show how even an invented writing system can evolve.
