Lexember, Day 1

I thought maybe using this as a neutral (non-Facebook non-Twitter non-tied-to-a-particular-social-media) platform for hosting my entries for #Lexember – especially since most of the entries are for Gutish anyway – would partly make up for the fact that I’m so horribly inconsistent about blogging generally, and might also encourage me to add some new information about changes I’ve been making in the language, since I have finally, in the last few months, gotten past the “things are happening in the background, but nothing new to report” stage.

All that in good time, but for now, Lexember:
