Today’s #Lexember #Valyrian glyph is ñūvir “poison”. I love this glyph. It reminds me of a little beastie from the Zelda games. Also useful if you’re translating Hamlet. #conlang #highvalyrian #hotd #HouseOfTheDragon #gameofthrones #got #orthography

For those following along with Lexember, here is a list of the first four prompts, provided by @quothalinguist.bsky.social, co-host of LangTime Studio and author of How to Create a Language.

For #Lexember, I am writing out a recipe, one step at a time in Nómàk’óla, my #conlang for nisse. “Àfóvànáþimpéfófike.” The words I created today are “fóó” (“block, brick”), “náþime” (“butter”), and “fófike” (“to freeze.”

#Lexember has started! It’s the month where conlangers share a word they’ve coined in one of their conlangs. In my case, I share a new #HighValyrian glyph each day, and today’s glyph is associated with ñuragon which means “to grind”. #conlang #Valyrian #hotd #HouseOfTheDragon

Okay, Deadloch is a show everyone absolutely MUST watch.
