Have a care what you say about the fair folk! Today's ConWorkShop theme is Spirits and the unseen folk. In a way that is a perfectly appropriate theme for today, since today is the fifth day of Christmas. And according to the familiar song, this was the very day my true love gave to me… Continue reading Lexember 29 (2025)

Heavy, man! Today's theme from ConWorkShop is Things heavier than 10 kg. So it behooves one to ponder matters ponderously and consider gravely things of utmost gravity. What one should definitely not do is take today's theme lightly. Today should be easy. Lots of things are heavier than 80 poku (1 poku = 125g). Today… Continue reading Lexember 28 (2025)

Brace yourself for a storm of criticism. Today's ConWorkShop theme is Literature. Contemporary literature is always of much worse quality than the revered classics of yesteryear. This could not possibly be the result of successive generations of readers and critics having enshrined just a few masterpieces from a vast production of varying quality and consigning… Continue reading Lexember 27 (2025)

Why not stop for a roadside picnic, as today's theme from ConWorkShop is Along the road. We can light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning we leave. The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see?… Continue reading Lexember 26 (2025)

Come take a stroll along the bank with me, as we explore today's ConWorkShop theme which is Along the river. Rivers have traditionally provided the lifeblood of Rireinu civilisation, since much of their time and effort has been expended in growing rai, that grain that forms the basis of Rireinukave diet. Most varieties of rai… Continue reading Lexember 25 (2025)

It really bugs me that today's theme from ConWorkShop is Beetles, insects, and spiders. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Yesterday, conlang was an easy game to play. Oh, I believe in yesterday. But then I insect the Web, like a bloated spider lurking in her lair, and… Words are flowing out like… Continue reading Lexember 24 (2025)

An essay towards a real character may be attempted in your constructed language, or mine, with today's ConWorkShop theme which is Adjectives that describe personality and character. Having been working on Rireinutire since 2011, I already have quite a few adjectives that describe personality and character, but of course there is always lexical space for… Continue reading Lexember 23 (2025)

This was bound to happen. Still, only a bounder or a cad would have the unmitigated gall to criticise today's theme from ConWorkShop which is Edges, corners, vertices, and boundaries. And I may be many things, bordering on borderline, but I try my best not to be an edgelady. And anyone who thinks otherwise ought… Continue reading Lexember 22 (2025)

Let me look that up for you! Today's ConWorkShop theme is Things you’ve Googled this week. The Rireinukave of course use their own search engines (toraneko) to look up things in their own Worldnet (Mutivaka). But I recently looked up things to do with Chaturmasya, the Rains Retreat of the Indian Subcontinent on Earth. Monsoon… Continue reading Lexember 21 (2025)

Dream the impossible dream, thee the impothible theme! Today's theme from ConWorkShop is themeless. In flow state, work flows like a dream. A successful implementation of flow state creates an ecosystem where you can leverage your core competencies going forward. A win-win situation. Alternatively, you can sit on the bank and watch the river flow… Continue reading Lexember 20 (2025)
