Kílta Lexember 5: haimavo "disappear, fade from view"

Kílta already has the verb tëníto go/be away which I've sometimes used to mean disappear. But that refers to a physical absence. Today's word is visual.

haimavo /xaɪ̯ˈma.βo/ disappear, fade from view (new root, no etymology)

Nama asíkár, Ótahwa haimavësto.
nama asík-ár ótahwa haimav-ëst-o
sun rise-CVB.IPFV mars fade.from.view-INCH-PFV
As the sun rose, Mars faded from view.

Kílta uses the inchoative/inceptive more often than English will say "start to, get" with verbs.

You can even use haimavo and tëníto together:

Luëkëlva në úkár haimavët tëníto.
train TOP go.CVB.IPFV fade.CVB.PFV go.away.PFV
As the train went it faded from view and was gone.

Kílta Lexember 4: mukélës "symbiote"

Another fairly straightforward word for Kílta today, but with a few obvious and related derivations in the mix:

mukélës /muˈkeː.ləs/ symbiote < muko live + -él- co-, con- + -ës agent nominalizer

This is a straight-up calque of symbiote, but the derivation is fairly obvious and I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't torturously clever.

To state relationships, the postposition is tin (together) with.

Lita në kiva tin vë mukélës no.
mushroom TOP tree with ATTR symbiote be.PFV
Mushrooms are symbiotes with trees.

In Kílta, generic nouns are in the singular.

Probably a more natural way to express this is with an adjective, which is mukélarin symbiotic, again using tin with for the relationship.

Lita në kiva tin mukélarin no.
mushroom TOP tree with symbiotic be.PFV
Mushrooms are symbotic with trees.

Because I spend a certain time worrying about how systems interact and influence things, Kílta has a nominal derivation just to mean systems. So, mukéluista symbiosis, system of symbiosis.

Mukéluista në ummul vë muër no.
symbiosis TOP forest ATTR interconnectedness be.PFV
Systems of symbiosis are the interconnectedness of the forest.

The translation for that is a bit of a mouthful, but is a good example of one of the main functions of a personal conlang. It allows the language creator to express things they find interesting or important concisely.

Of course, now I've had to add parasite to my ever-growing backlog of vocabulary to create.
