Lexember is over for another year and it’s time to look back on the trials and tribulations of the month. As always, thanks are due ConWorkShop for their daily themes, which are a boon for any glossopoietically inclined gentlebeing.
In total I created 152 words for Rireinutire in connection with the CWS Lexember themes, at least one each day. Of these, 133 were new lemma forms (mostly compounds and other derivations of extant lexemes) and 19 were extensions of existing lexemes. Which means there are at least 133 new wordlinks in the dictionary.
The new lexemes can be divided by part of speech thus: 103 nouns (92 IN, 10 R, 1 F), 16 verbs (10 TR, 6 INTR), 12 adjectives, 1 adverb, and 1 interjection.
The old lexemes can be divided by part of speech thus: 11 nouns (10 IN, 1 R) and 6 verbs (5 TR, 1 INTR).
My most productive day was Lexember 28 (noisy things, which I turned into a discussion of singing voices in Rireinu classical music), resulting in thirteen words, all of them new lexemes.
My least productive days were Lexember 4 and 5, each of which resulted in only one word. Actually even less fewer, since I missed the ConWorkShop Lexember 4 deadline, so I posted that word in the Lexember 5 thread along with its proper word. Fortunately nobody outside of ConWorkShop noticed this.
This year, I did actually manage to coin several new roots; twenty, in fact. No wonder, since the very second daily theme was Vegetables.
My favourite new word is one of the new roots:
yore /ˈjoɹe/ n.IN 1. choir, chorus, group of dancers and singers;
2. choir, vocal ensemble;
3. chorus, chorale, piece performed by ~;
4. round dance
