Lhaesine marks one year

One year ago today, I started the Lhaesine Dictionary Project to make-up words in my own fantasy language. An eccentric undertaking, I’ll admit.

This blog has been updated daily, and for a stretch of time, even more frequently. This is my 453rd posting. There are considerably less than 452 words in Lhaesine, because I continue to modify and redo words as I refine the rules of my language.

There is a dictionary; Lhaesine-English and English-Lhaesine. But is Lhaesine a useable constructed language or conlang? No, not yet. Language building is not a simple task. Lhaesine is currently severely lacking in verbs, and it’s impossible to make sentences without verbs. I have long-standing ideas of how to handle verbs, though. Doing this project for the past year, I’ve learned a multitude of odd things, including more about grammar than I ever expected.

The Lhaesine Dictionary Project is ongoing. Yet starting today I’m going to step back a little, and post to this blog less often, perhaps every other day. I need to allow myself more time for various other things. New Lhaesine words are still forthcoming!

slow is pade

pade = slow (Lhaesine pronunciation = PAID) (adjective) (some things Google found for "pade": a common term; Padé Approximant in Calculus is a approximation of a function, named for French mathematician Henri Padé (pronounced "pah-DAY")(1863-1953); PADE stands for Pennsylvania Auto Dealers' Exchange, an auto auction; a last name; PADE is Parallel Applications Development Environment; a first name, notably jewelry designer Pade Vavra; PADE is the ICAO code for Deering airport, Northwest Arctic, Alaska; Pade Woodworking Machines of Italy; PADE Records is a rap music label; places in Burma, Benin, Senegal, and Serbia and Montenegro)

farecal = magpie (fah-REH-kahl) (noun) (bird) (some things Google found for "farecal": a rare term; FARECal stands for Financing Authority For Resource Efficiency of California; a web fractured part of "fare calcoli" which means "to make calculations" in Italian)

asoihul = dragon (Lhaesine pronunciation = ah-SOY-huhl) (noun) (mythical creature) (some things Google found for "asoihul": an unique term: so unusual that Google suggested "Make sure all words are spelled correctly")
