Lexember 22nd: laucho, "weave"
Today's verb is laucho /ˈlaʊ̯.t͡ʃo/ weave.
Tëkímës si lauchirë.
hat ACC weave.IPFV
I'm weaving a hat.
I've not focused on this much in the Lexember examples, but Kílta can be aggressively PRO-drop, as here.
Mácha në sain si laucho.

The word laucho can also be used to mean enchant, cast a spell on, with both people and things available as the object.
Inin kíkún aukka si laucho.
