No help from above? In accordance with ConWorkShop tradition, today's theme is No theme!. First I was going to do nihilism, but then I decided to get nastik. That is, to coin the words for 'atheist' and 'atheism', inspired by the Sanskrit word नास्तिक (nāstika) 'one who says "is not"'. Thus, the Rireinutire word for… Continue reading Lexember 10 (2023) →

Most likely, you would then be hanging on for dear life from the rain gutter or eavestrough. What's an eavestrough, you… Continue reading Lexember 8 (2023) →

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single-minded Lexemberist in possession of a good conlang, must be in want of a daily theme. And, as if by Providence directed, the gentry of ConWorkShop in a show of fine sense and sensibility, have sent word that today's theme is pride and prejudice. koñeituputi tovuriñi toteru… Continue reading Lexember 7 (2023) →

All change! Today, the theme from ConWorkShop is more than meets the eye; to wit, renewal, transformation, regeneration and rebirth. A minor bit of transformation today is in the verb mitata, which previously only had the meaning 'move sth somewhere'; to show that that sense wasn't newly coined for Lexember, I have struck it through,… Continue reading Lexember 3 (2023) →

Whereas I yesterday praised the wisdom of the good folks at ConWorkShop, today's theme is philosophy and deep thinking. Time to cogitate conscientiously and ponder... uh... ponderously. While I consider the ways and means, the unfortunate fact becomes evident that some ways are beyond my means. to sosura to ratora ñama niya yasakave· Horatio'·nu tano… Continue reading Lexember 2 (2023) →

So it begins. Mindful of the old adage, the wise conlangers of ConWorkShop have selected as their first theme of the day, desserts and other sweet things. Sweet!

Fortunately for the people of Rireinu, the Rireinutire language… Continue reading Lexember 1 (2023) →
