clare_dragonfly asked for “…writing stuff. And legal stuff,” specifically regarding Edally: The Missing Treaty.
I already have words for writing: zhiezhet, book, turnie, and words for history that I need to reconsider.
Telyen “story”, and telnyet is “truth-known.”
Pause for plurals, because I really need to figure those out, or, as we say in the conlang business, make some shit up.
We’re going to make the goat plural: pazit, and the dyohd, an obnoxious rodent.
One goat: Pazit
Two goats: Pazitte
A herd of goats: Pazitbe
An unknown plural of goats: Pazitne
One rodent: Dyohd
Two rodents: Dyohdtye
A family/nest of rodents: Dyohdbye
An unknown plural of rodents: Dyohdnye
There! Now we can make stories plural, telyenne!
The Calenyena word for a treaty is Gaaneg, from gaaven (obsolete), bound, and geg, rope.
The Bitrani word for treaty is Meniano, from meni, to think over, to consider.
Incidentally, Coffee is a loan-word to both languages, coming from the prot-Arran fega. The Bitrani call it Vegia; the Calenyena call it
vegie.

The house came with, among a lot of other stuff, some corrugated cement board and a chair with no bottom. It also came with a lot of mess in the hedgerow that needed to be pulled out and dealt with.
The last bit led to a pile of brush larger than a truck.
Cutting it to pieces was only so effective.
Running it through a woodchipper (Small, electric), did some good, but it was slow and loud.
So we bought a firepit.
Enter the corrugated cement board – safe place to put it – and the chair – place to sit and tend it. Add the seat from an otherwise trashed office chair, one concrete block, also from the house, and a laptop.
My butt has one long scrap-bruise, but the laptop is safe.
In other news, sitting outside writing/reading whilst watching the fire burn is lovely.
