Lexember 31

All good things come to an end, Lexember included. Quite appropriately, ConWorkShop‘s theme for today is old and new. So of course I chose to concentrate on concepts that deal with both at the same time: restoration, renewal, and rebirth.

Tomorrow or so, I will do a summary of my Lexember 2022, listing how many words I managed to create for my languages. After that, I’ll have to come up with stuff on my own for the next eleven months. But we’ll burn that bridge when we come to it. Now, the final entries of Lexember 2022:
