Lexember 1st: unnuluikin "expensive"

I haven't done Lexember in a few years. The last time I added a month worth of ideophones to Kahtsaai. This time I'm just going to grab my very long backlog of words I want to add to Kílta. I've been working on Kílta for years now, and is the only language I've worked on where I consistently follow my own advice to always, always, always have examples for new vocabulary. The results have been much more satisfying.

This is a personal language, so a lot of the vocabulary is likely to be fairly mundane.



Today's word is unnuluikin /ʔu.nu.lu.ˈi.kin/ expensive. It is a compound, from unna wealth, property and the adjective luikin heavy.

Although the book was expensive, I bought it anyway.
