Why do I write these horribly contrived little prefaces each day? Why don’t I just post a word or two and be done with it? I’m glad you asked, Dear Reader. You see, it’s all about aesthetics. Now on the main page of my site here, you get to see the beginning, the first few lines, of each post. And I thought the Lexember 2 post looked quite ugly, with all the line breaks stripped off from the Rireinutire sample sentences. So the solution that suggested itself to me was to write an introduction to the theme of the day that will fill the preview snippet on the main page, and only then the Rireinutire sentence with its gloss and its Human translation, and finally the new words of the day in alphabetical order (Rireinutire alphabet of course).
So at least for today, Dear Reader, you can’t complain there is neither rhyme nor reason in what I write, because not only did I just open up my reasoning (such as it is), today’s ConWorkShop theme is words that rhyme (in a natlang or a conlang). Aren’t I just frightfully clever?
