find out, discover, solve, invent
native root. exact proto-language cognates with jexa "mathematics", that one loaned from Mimtaja 1° ("mīcujan micemtama ta jazrajoto sainōk", Micemta-nese Jazrajoto Language #1)
pi cekwas sulman lutān e Einzein zutam elektrin cekwa man cu! - this is the greatest discovery since Einstein invented the electric lantern (lightbulb)!
tzabole? ñoi! asa kotizu suan mozño cekwa - hello? hi! i may have discovered a new animal!
jexa cekwa tux ken - mathematics is not solved
have i gone this long without discussing any jazrajoto loanwords? huh... this technically doesn't even count because this is the native equivalent. putting a pin in that. good word! we'll see what tomorrow brings...
man, male Jazrajoto, human or other
loan from Mimtaja 1°, thought to be a compound of *xo "mouth" (native selsimicu equivalent "kwo") + fuñ "jazrajoto" (no native selsimicu equivalent, but appears as a morpheme in other words, like fuñras "garbage" or fuñfej "translate". also a term for a jazrajoto itself they don't entirely appreciate)
jazrajoto xofūñ ujx plafūñ ujx bifūñ cu mei, atke sēlsijan lilifē prins cu ken - a jazrajoto can be a man, a woman or a third gender, but selsians aren't any of those
xoxofūñ kokotizu e nanata tipo añxotz fej lopfoj - men hunt animals to eat meat
star word! that's means it's loaned from a language spoken by the Jazrajoto, Niburu's seal-like sapient species (not selsians)! there's hundreds of thousands of these, most not related at all! Mimtaja 1° is special, though... as i've alluded to recently, it's actually the origin of Selsimicu! they just evolved separately. as such, they actually have cognates, unlike words loaned from other varieties of "Mimtaja" (which is the name for all Jazrajoto languages, numbered by proximity to Micemta)
do i... uh... okay screw it 3 for 1 special i don't feel like drawing this out
woman, female Jazrajoto, human, or other
likely a compound of *pla in Mimtaja °1 (the word "pla" in selsimicu is backformed from plafūñ itself) + fuñ
non-binary, non-male & non-female Jazrajoto, human or other
likely a compound of *bi "between" in Mimtaja °1 (native selsimicu equivalent is bi "middle") + fuñ
mixed biological & social category for Jazrajoto who experienced both a male and female puberty and thus have mixed characteristics of both. long story that isn't too clear cut yet we'll see if that comes up again
posthumous commentary: yes these were all part of the same day
lost, out of place, not belonging; awkward, odd
primarily from ruzip "synchronize, fit into, stack", itself from ruzipa "brick, tile", with the pattern an- -ke (a combination of selsimicu "ken" and Mimtaja 27° "an" to create exaggeratedly negated adjectives)
lantufel sasaija kfus, itz plafūñ fe ānruke nokao - 7 years have passed, and that girl is still lost
pixils natan qu mos ānruke wañ, pla'a. neko asa wanira tepsu! - that one joke of his was so awkward, dude. it made me embarrassed!
kiñox? kaxu ta ruruzipa muj? ānruke... - a triangle? in a bowl of squares? how odd...
good word! fun word. i like words did you notice that. i'd be surprised if you hadn't
anyways, unsubtly sliding in some news: selsimicu will be part of the Laghari Portals Conlang Relay! i won't be spoiling anything until the game's over though. duh. but uhhh yeah you'll get to see it when all that's done!
belong, matter, be part of
clipping / "acronym" of sufa misxel, "tally up the list"
tzat otsin ceñ um kotizu nen tzinuma tzu muj sumix? ma... - do you belong to the mammal (animal that has a breast) category? hmm...
i couldn't not put these two together. that'd be a crime. now that i think about it maybe i should've put the conlang relay announcement here. y'know. because it's like it "belongs". in the relay. well i'm writing about it instead of fixing it so i hope this blunder on my part is comedically satisfying to you. see you tomorrow!
posthumous commentary: oh yeah the relay's done by the way. when it gets released i'll link to it riiiight [HERE] so you can see how much i threw everything off (hopefully not much?)
create, make; craft, form, manufacture
likely proto-language compound of pox (found in pōxipo "straight, direct") and ub "sprout, be born"
e oto sesefēms pōzuba mei anebeke - you being able to make cocktails is impossible
idk i don't have anything insightful to say
cover, seal, close up; wear*
likely root. origin of īñoke "above, over" and thus the derivational prefix iñ- (originally "above" but now something akin to "exceeding", like super- and over-)
az jofoñ oton nen tepxom tzu īñokei tempep numujn! - always remember to seal your jars that have jam!
nata ñek naxrub izrekāze nacapran lori īñokei - they cover themself with an interesting red garment (they wear it)
i'm hungry. that's your note
posthumous commentary: haha 67
walk around, frolic, meander; pass by, go through; experience
likely root. lofaws (nominalization) may also mean "weather"
watke en asa ne zer lofaw asa pi fej mos wikifrim! tepsu - nothing i've gone through prepared me for this!
lantufel nu'an ukeq asa li tatwalto esqaun zer lofaw - every year my spouses and i walk through the forest
lofaws ta Micemta swas um amoñwo fej felja wañ - according to a conversation of the amoñwo, the weather in Micemta is super wild
good word. will pair really well with today's actual word that i'll post on schedule. also it's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!!! or it will be time in an hour
come & go, go on, pass by; happen, occur; flow
Mimtaja 3° loanword, originally meaning "swim, flow"
woah! notes before examples! what gives? well, given the previous word, i think it's probably important to make clear the difference between lofaw and kfus.
lofaw is active: the subject going through / experiencing something else. they pass by a situation. meanwhile, kfus is the exact opposite: the situation comes and goes with the subject there. the situation passes by the subject. this is why lofaws is defined like "experience, go through" and kfus like "happen, go on". they're different!
cenar kfus?? jaki nanata lop ūpowan, tzat fi? - what's going on?? we beat them, right?
lei caujan asa twel kfus, asa laxbato kixirn wañ - too many things are happening next to me, i'm so widely tired
e neko rajnot kfus eben - it's possible that it might happen
yeah i lied. might as well post it early it's not that big of a deal. anyways as of today (in 2½ hours) i am unofficially done with college! i'll be officially done on the 30th but like i don't have any more things to work on and all my grades are set so. it's basically done right. anyways surprisingly good semester for me, numerically best of three. now that i'm free expect more stuff! maybe! tiny promises! ok bye i gotta get off at the next stop
posthumous commentary: haha 69. also cliffhanger resolved did you even remember we were doing that
promise, payment, IOU
from o- (patient nominalizer) + rux "place down" + jazra'e "trade"
asa oruxjaz um reñsu mon rajnot tepsu - i may give a payment of 3 reñsu
i forgot to press send on this i should go to bed
tired; exhausted, worn out, out of energy, fuel, etc.
clipping of malxa bataw "the solar power is empty"
nu'a twe ukeq laxbato - everyone's tired at times
leifōun ta eifa laxbato... - the human's phone is out of battery...
oto aikae tzasu laxbatos raj zweñ! - if you sunbathe, your tiredness will go away!
insert witty joke about how this is me right now. haha. it's actually not honestly i just don't have much to do right now. the curse of vacation days
life, existence
derived from ewena "live, relax", itself a replica derivation of wen "heal, cure, nurse"
eona nitsan sanartus numujn zax zuke - a good life must lack eternal safety
ñimu pi eona asan noa - this string represents my life
mibtu eona lutān jaqin jofjan zax ewena - may the mibtu survive past our whole lives
visual similarity to "eon" coincidental. in-universe. also out of universe. i only just thought to make this joke i didn't think of that when making the word. anyways happy 6th anniversary X-Life SMP (ha) for being the peak of gaming content for now and forever i love you lizzie d shadow lady
1) a marriage of selsians. selsians marry polygamously and continuously (other selsians may, in the future, join the same marriage)
2) establish a marriage with (some people), join (a person or some people in) marriage, marry
root word (probably)
Qetsilja, oto Sifube li Jurtu mibtu wantiwi - Qetsilja, you have chosen to marry Sifube and Jurtu
mibtu nanatan laxbato wañ laxun - their marriage is really tired out by now
hashtag i heart polyamory. uhh yeah. lot to say about this word and no real place to say it because this is word of the day so if you wanna hear more you can go to the Learn Selsimicu page for the Malxoma Pantheon and read about Mibiqa because her entry is like half mibtu half the moon. lots to see here! anyways i get all my grades next week starting tomorrow wuh oh !!! (i will pretend they're not mostly all already on the website and i know them already) (i did good) (we're good) (this doesn't have anything to do with the word ok toodles)
first planet orbiting from Za'o, the NSS (Niburu Solar System) sun, similar to Mercury or Venus (hot and comparatively tiny); any month's first week (awpoxlixe)
clipping / "acronym" of nen zuke, "that lacks"
Nezu za'o twel tomo sucra - Nezu likes hiding by the sun
thought of a fun idea! welcome to planet week! i'm posting the names of the NSS planets as words! mostly because i think their etymologies are really cool and i was gonna post femwena anyway so why not just do them all. fun week to conclude may with! alright see you tomorrow
(any) moon, (Earth's) Moon*; one and only moon of Niburu; any month's second awpoxlixe (6-day week)
from fem "love" and wen "heal, cure, nurse", likely also + -(a)s (nominalizer), calling to attention the Mibiqa philosophy of tending to bonds
femwena saincebe e Mibiqa no'o mos ruxjul tzun paesaufa - Femwena orbits Niburu because Mibiqa brought it in
welcome to day 2 of planet week! except not, because here's something that isn't a planet at all! but selsians think it is, at least before Mibiqa borrowed it from Twanusu to give selsians some much needed rest. Femwena's with us now! out of the five awpoxlixe in a temjas, Femwena is the second. i'm posting this early because i don't feel like waiting. see you tomorrow!
(HUMAN EXONYM) planet Niburu (planet of the selsians); Niburu Solar System
almost entirely unknown, but it likely has no roots in Selsimicu nor any known Mimtaja as the name for the planet. almost nothing resembles it. likely a temporary human name that became permanent in research circles
while it is an exonym, it's not one they dislike. but yeah, not very exciting. so i'll make it up to you! a two for one deal!
habitable planet (general), homeworld; Niburu, second planet orbiting from Za'o in the NSS, the only habitable one; any month's third awpoxlixe
clipping of saiño (um) tieben, "the hexagonal atmosphere" (referring to the six malxoma of the pantheon, which all join together to make Niburu what it is)
eifa jul na Niburu saincebe asan fej mable tepsu - humans came and called our planet Niburu
atke Niburu mables ōkapon cu - but Niburu is a pretty name
day 3 of planet week! for the second planet. the one and only verdant (or pinkish if you're a selsian) six continent beauty we all know and love! not much else to add, really. that's Niburu! also since i'm out of college it's becoming easier for me to post these in the morning... but i won't change the schedule officially for now. mostly because of sunday... alright see you tomorrow!
third planet obiting from Za'o in the NSS, an icy Mars-like desert; any month's fourth awpoxlixe
from nwel "snow" + paenū "lightweight"
Wepanu zpatsus luz fej praqao - Wepanu looks like it needs heat
day 4 of planet week! for the third planet, Wepanu! it's small and icy, so it might at first glance look like a star, but it sure isn't! it's cold and barren... an icon of the night sky! see you tomorrow!
fourth and final planet orbiting from Za'o in the NSS, a Jupiter-like gas giant; any month's fifth awpoxlixe
from luz "eye" + either klura "far away" or oklura "that which is distant, the far reach(es), somewhere out there"
Luzokula leq klura, atke na jaki uzi - Luzokula is far away, but sees us
day 5 of planet week! for the fourth and final planet, Luzokula! with it having a diameter of nearly 13 Earths, it's a very big presence in the Niburu sky, even at its 10 AU distance. its rings and extreme axial tilt (akin to Uranus in that it nearly orbits on its side) often frame it as the light pupil of an eye, looking back at the telescope you're using to look at it. alright! tomorrow will be the final day of planet week! even though all the planets are done, there's one more thing to talk about...
planet or moon; celestial body
from *kao (deprecated root, likely meaning "property") + ploz "heavy, thick, grand"
Twanusu, malxoma ta nusu, kaoplozi xi mufe. na li Mibiqa femwena mufe. atke Niburu malxoma nu'an man mufe tux, tzasu nata aenfū - Twanusu, goddess of outer space, own the four planets, and with Mibiqa owns the moon. but Niburu is owned by all the goddesses, so it is perfect
welcome to the final (?) day of planet week, with the word that literally means planet! this word is (as you can imagine by the example) constructed theologically. i feel like the example says it all so i'm not gonna repeat myself. thank you for sticking through to the end! we now return to our regularly scheduled programming... or will we?
trinket, little treasure, souvenir*, memory-drenched object, (ESP) recordatorio
from ñot "small" + kaoplozi "planet"
asa ñotaploz pi e asa tatwalto twel coukīr fej mos kew ukeq tux. - i got this trinket when i went to the beach with (my) spouses.
kaoplozi fia lori zaf - a trinket is saturated (/ satiated / full / expressive) with memories
and the final "post-credits scene" for planet week! yes this is being posted at like 6am there is a chance i'm gonna be a booth runner for the colombian presidential elections. uh. Today. at 7AM. and if i get chosen you will not see me for like 11 hours. so i'm getting this over with right now. tomorrow officially starts my birth month! yay! ok bye let's see if luck's on my side cya
posthumous commentary: i didn't end up getting picked. this time at least.
shame, ostracize, shun, bully
from wanira "ashamed, embarrassed", itself from wanmir "turn inwards, curl up into ball", ITSELF from wan- "in-, en-", from postposition wanun "inside, within", + mir "spin, turn, rotate", + -'ao (verbalizer). tl;dr mir → wanmir → wanira → wānirao
wato nen ñoños wānirao ñoños man wānirao ñiz tux - a person who bullies others is also bullied by others
fefe nanata nen kmocza wānirao - groups shun those who commit a crime
honestly had like 5 words bouncing around in my head for what the word today should be and almost couldn't pick. which i guess gives me material for the rest of the week so it's not all bad. happy pride month! i guess this word is tangentially related to that. sure. byeee
culture, way of life, lifestyle
likely from (e) kuls soña, "(that) the masses are fine like sand"
eifa man kūlsoña sulma kul - for humans, culture is very important
kūlsoña ta nu'a leq ñasu li ipol ñiz - everyone's culture is different and also the same
this is that other one that was bouncing around in my head. i forgot the other ones though so i guess we're back at square one. good word that i probably retconned the etymology of slightly because i came up with something maybe better originally and forgot to write it down so #idk... i like this though
fine (texturally, like sand); simple, easy, clear (conceptually); clear (visually)
from sos "sand", in some way. origin of osoña "glass" (o- + soña; that which is clear)
spaut soña wañ ken. jaki sos praqao - gravel isn't really fine. we need sand
pfu, suns soñan! - phew, easy work!
not sure when this'll come up again so might as well put it next to yesterday's word. sand! pocket sand... yeah i don't have anything more to say bye
underground mineral, ore of a "wanum" (metal found underground which begins to glow from incandescence before melting; melting temperature > Draper Point)
from raj ub "will sprout, will be born" + -oka ("fragment, piece, element of X", antonym to -jan)
wato rajuboka fej zax rafes watken - one must never excavate for ore
wanu ta babatu'o wanum ta rajuboka praqao - the souls of newborns require the metal of an ore
ok i'm not just gonna leave this unexplained. selsians believe that their souls are stars, that gather and radiate energy from the sun (photosynthesis). when selsians die, their souls literally become stars in the night sky. but where do they get these star souls? well, they must get them before birth, when they're a seed being planted. planted... underground! what else is underground? rocks, minerals... metals! and metals glow! well, some of them do, when you heat them to a temperature. those must be what make up the wanu! wanum! and their raw, before-being-smelted form is rajuboka.
because these are what are believed to make up the wanu of newborns, one must never excavate for ore. it is illegal to mine rajuboka
let's go more in-depth tomorrow. stay tooned!
soul; core, heart; star in the night sky
root word. origin of wanum (wanu + -um (composition suffix)) and wanun (postposition "inside, within"), itself origin of prefix wan- (in-, en-)
Plaza'o noxjuri wanu ta bātu'o muj weica - Plaza'o carves the pheromone code in the soul of a baby
wanu malxa ñek fej jofkuetē - the heart conducts solar energy to the body
oinasu wanu ta nusu man jul - a dream comes from the stars in the sky
yeah. there's a lot i could say here but i'm watching the summer games fest with friends and i can't muster up a proper thought right now. can it wait? no. so uhhh. idk. the heart of a selsian! or, well, the big one that they like thinking about. yeah okay
posthumous commentary: yeah it was bad
opponent, foe, adversary, enemy
from older phrase teokuj umzikan "cold / slow end of the rope", a reference to Tug Of War (or the almost identical selsian equivalent)
xazufke, Fern! oteli teuzik asan leq fi! - that's it, Fern! you're my enemy now!
fe um tuteuzik nol xija sainōk muj meoq kirx, az wikifrim! - the enemy team is getting close on space 25, get ready!
i know a certain someone who'd love this word... ooo... well not much more to say is there. byeee
posthumous commentary: it's toothpaste from bfdie by the way. did nobody watch that
1) monster, beast; villain
2) monstrous, violent, evil, malevolent
from uxfejq "bite, ensnare", from either -oto (agent suffix, -er) or -'o (dummy suffix; melu'o, qinta'o, bātu'o)
uxfeqo esqaun pi fej roxejīlu! zax nolfe kew ken! - the beast has disappeared into the forest! do not go there!
asa e watke ubas ukeq uxfeqo pinica - i think nobody is evil at birth
very very interesting word... especially when contrasted against yesterday's. anyways uhhhh hey it's 6/7 six seven hahahaaaah ok bye. i feel like i've started saying ok bye or some variation of that in too many of these entries but like do you want me to just end these notes with six seven is that what you want
posthumous commentary: speaking my truth there's gotta be something wrong with you if you hate six seven. disliking it i get. getting annoyed by it i get. but hate? there's nothing to hate about it come on. live a little
stupid, foolish, idiotic; of poor judgement and/or decision-making
clipping of nen rewsu cutzīr, "that slaps bushes"
fe ias nēuscutzin lutān lalakos ta saincebe fej leqot cu - that might be the stupidest idea to the world's antennae ("anyone's ever heard", basically)
asa e asa e asa nēuscutzi naetzi tzun icon selsi - i am wise only because i understand i am foolish
i have a lot of unironically favorite words in the language. this is an ironic favorite. purely because i was giggling while coming up with it. i hope you can see why. anyways in ABSOLUTELY unrelated news happy birthday to my sister you will be seeing a lot of happy birthdays these next few weeks because we have a lot of juners over here. junemaxxing
alright, calm down, deep breaths, that's enough, hold on
from ñekrux "sit down, settle, stay", itself from ñek rux "put down oneself", + -(a)s (nominalizer)
[ñekruxas] nata manestu. [asa wantiwi. Ēbemuf tokix!] - "alright", they said. "i have chosen. YOLO for Ēbemuf!"
aj! ñekruxas, ñekruxas. e ototo xazorm raj tsesu ken - hey! calm down, calm down. you two fighting isn't gonna help.
hey we haven't had an interjection since. like ever. since like the first ever word of this. isn't that crazy. i should've waited to post this until the 13th so i could've said we went 3 months with no interjections. dangit. oh well maybe interjection tomorrow i'll thinquabout it
bye! see you! toodles!
shortening of lexicalized phrase az lofaw nitsan, "meander well!", which itself also means "goodbye" or "farewell". az lofaw nitsan vs alō is pretty much a formality thing
alō! az e tem ukle ukeq suajul - bye! come back when five's the hour
i keep my promises! sometimes. and this is one of those times. something very interesting is happening tomorrow... (and by that i mean later today). alō!
mother, father, parent¹; member of your birthing mibtu who was part of the mibtu when you were either planted or when you sprouted (different people will tell you which but it's only like a two month gap it doesn't really matter. when you were born basically it's when you were born)
root word, likely from proto-Mimtaja °1 word meaning "mother"
ñawba sainōk sco temjas ukeq mana asan nen nozinfi onwanac sisinfanol fej zweñ - on the first day per month, my horticulturally-devoted parent¹ leaves to the fields
mana xi ubas ukeq mozño mairuñ. - i probably had four parents¹ at birth.
speaking of mana happy birthday to my mom (june 11th)! i did that and went to my sister's quinceañera for the whole day and i went to sleep before i finished writing the latter half of this so. good morning. i will post today's word at a reasonable time
aunt, uncle, familial caretaker, ancestor, etc... step-parent, parent²; person who was not part of your birthing mibtu when you were born (same caveats as mana apply but again it's not that important) but was there at some other point, either having joined after your birth or having left / died before it
root word, likely from a proto-Mimtaja °1 construction meaning "feeder" or "provider", using the word that would eventually become tabol "nourish, feed, provide for"
given the wide scope of potential people this word can cover, a taba from before your birth can be described as taba upaukan ("before" taba) and a taba from after can be described as taba faukan ("after" taba). reasonable!
mana nu'an jazra'enol fej mos zweñ, itz taba asan icon mairuñ - all the parents¹ had left, so only my parent² was here
mibtu manan asan sua wañ. asa taba upaukan saija zut icon tzu - my birth mibtu is really young. i only have eight "before" tabas
taba oton olkwos pañzin oto fej kexta?? taba?? mamana oton ce mozño sun??? - your taba taught you to drink correctly? the taba?? what were your parents¹ doing???
did you expect anything different? i hope not! anyways i made brownies they smell really really good. that's your note idk i accidentally wrote a lot more than originally intended so enjoy it while it's hot! like i'll be enjoying these brownies later oughhh 🤤
posthumous commentary: i was wondering if this monthspan method of splitting up the words was going to end up cutting something short eventually and... looks like it did! i guess it's not that bad
