dhak then [dʰak tʰɛn] postpos. : without

note: I noticed there is some sort of negative connotation with this simple word, but I can't pinpoint it. I hope I find an example passage that confirms my suspicion; or maybe refutes it. I think this might also be a circumposition.

I plan on participating in Lexember this year with Lortho and Dhakhsh.

#conlang #lexember #lortho #dhakhsh

Hold my beer: #Lortho is getting its first bona fide ligature in the latest script update.

#neography @neography #conlang @conlang

@celrydoor @conlang

It's used to write the #Dhakhsh language. The proper name of the alphabet is called Ngezhtulk, which uses the first five consonants. I'm planning to make two journals, one using Ngezhtulk and the other using Dhadakha (the writing system for #Lortho).

@cobweb

A few of us have experience. I've made a font for #Dhadakha—the writing system for #Lortho—and I know others have had success with other programs. I used GlyphrStudio which is completely online, but it does have a little bit of a learning curve. In essence, you need to map the new glyphs to the existing keyboard layout of your choice.

@domino

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.

3. The word tridenu

tridenu [tɾi.ˈdɛ.nu] n. fem. : arthropod; some reaching the size of an average human ribcage

I know very little about the flora and fauna of Kus (the home planet on which the Lorthoans live). I know only that this is an arthropod and my gut tells me it’s terrestrial.

2. The word bekhesh-

bekhesh [bɛ.ˈkʰɛʃ] adj. : 1. messy, dirty, soiled; 2. forbidden, unspeakable, e.g. bekheshu mathu “forbidden tongue”

I had no idea there was such a thing; so this discovery was indeed a surprise. I do not know to what language this refers and I am left with pure speculation at the moment. I can’t wait to discover it!

@conlang

In reviewing my #Lexember entries for 2022, three #Lortho words stood out to me. A thread:

1. The suffix -tha.

Until last month, there was only one word with this suffix:

kansaptha [kan.ˈsap.tʰa] n. neut. : forest

I knew it was related to kansapu (tree, n. fem.), but I didn't know how until this discovery:

dinaktha [di.ˈnak.tʰa] n. neut. : flock; see dinaku (bird, n. fem.)

It's still unclear whether -tha is reserved for feminine nouns

#Lortho

dinaktha [di.ˈnak.tʰa] n. neut. : flock, collective noun for birds; see : dinaku [di.ˈna.ku] n. fem. : bird

There are many word for specific birds in Lortho, but this is the first time I've seen a generic term for birds in general.

The -tha suffix is a collective marker, but I am unsure often it is used. It is seen with the word kansaptha "forest" from kansapu "tree."

#Lortho

bekhesh [bɛ.ˈkʰɛʃ] adj. • 1. messy, dirty, soiled; 2. forbidden, unspeakable, e.g. bekheshu mathu: "forbidden tongue"

The second definition is quite interesting. What could be the "forbidden tongue?" This raises so many new questions. I wonder if it is either a daughter or sister language of a long lost culture. Perhaps this is in reference to #Dhakhsh, a language spoken by a distant nation known to be skilled at war. Must know more...

benkhat [bɛn.ˈkʰat, bɛŋ~] v. • wear, put on

Ex.:
[bɛn.ˈkʰad.ikʰ.ˌin ni.d̤o.ˈsi.ma.mɛ]

benkhad-ikh-in ni-dhosima-me
wear-PST.PFV-1MSG PN.1MSG.POSS-shoe.N-ACC

"I am wearing my shoe[s]."

The sample pictured is in the handwriting script of Dhadakha.

#lexember 1 & 2

I made the word for sleep for #Lortho and #dhakhsh. They don't equate one-for-one, so I will expound later.

Although I did make a discovery: #Dhakhsh follows consonant harmony. All consonants in a word are either voiced or voiceless, but not mixed. An unintentional trend I just noticed.
