An archive of my 2022 Lexember posts for my own archiving!! I missed some days so I did them in my own time, but as the spirit of Lexember is to do it daily (and fast), it felt wrong including them here :]total: 19/31
pretty good for my first lexember I think :D
Day 1 - relationships and marriage
There are four main stages of developed relationships in
Tsuheitsin - - Pre-dating (more than friends, not yet together officially)
- Dating
- Married
- 16 years marriage anniversary
And, along with this, there are two categories of relationship. Romantic/sexual, our traditional human relationships; and platonic partners, who are equally as important just without the romance or sexuality.
Romantic relationships were originally connotated with the spring and summer - the new growth of plant life and in turn the new growth of these relationships. Autumn and winter were later adopted as matching terms for the platonic relations. Some traditions regarding this includes gifting your romantic partner daffodils (níbhema, lit: "sun mouth") and your platonic partners snowdrops (lausíteík, lit: "winter's dew") or potato blossoms (kratutsi, lit: "frost flower").
The people in pre-dating relationships are referred to as "petals", due to them being only a small part of what spring will become, but can also exist in their own right without necessarily being part of the season at all. They are relationships, but are not any form of commitment yet.

I haven't got a name for the anniversary yet! So take this for now :D
Day 2 - architecture
Tsuheitsin people live in trees larger than any here on earth - the trunk width can grow up to the size of street blocks, and the roots spread out farther than our average urban neighbourhoods.. They build houses into the gaps between roots, and eventually will build staircases upwards to build houses on the branches or inside holes in the trunk.They'll use carving techniques and zíphéreí to guide how trees grow, to even go as far as to grow holes into the trees that they can live inside of. Think of it as like how trees will grow around a rock, and then if you were to remove the rock, there's an indent left in its place.

Tsuheitsin people wash in natural settings - they tend to have communal showers underneath local waterfalls.

Day 24 - money, currency, and banking
Tsuheitsin have no currency or method of banking. Basic food, housing, clothes, and warmth are viewed as rights and have no need to be purchased. Clothes and food beyond basic necessity are generally made by oneself, and the materials to do such are traded. yej [jed͡ʒ] - v. to trade; to exchange goods
kudoyej [kudəʊjed͡ʒ] - n. trade deal, an agreement to regularly trade long-term lit: time trade
pori [pɔɹi] - v. to lend; to borrow
mílad [mɪlad] - v. to owe
People regularly specialise in an area of trade - such as cooks making a large batch of food to trade out in portions, or artists trading their decoration skills. Those who can make with materials are equally as important as those who create the materials. The time it takes to produce dictates the value.
Labour is usually paid in a cut of what they produce. Those who work on fields will take a portion of what they've gathered that day - the exact amount depends on who, what, and when; any who gather wheat will usually take a portion of the flour once milled, but can choose to take the raw grain instead if they have use for it. Those who work in carpentry or other types of building will take a cut of what is traded for the finished piece, and so commissioning large pieces requires a lot to trade for said piece.
If one cannot pay for what they trade in one go, they can pay in chunks, but the exact rate of this depends from tree to tree, or even person to person. It can be anything from "pay whenever you can."¹, to "pay me soon or there will be consequences"².
¹ Pay whenever you can
me you give when can
loíp haza síjaz telt kríptaz
² Pay me soon or there will be consequences
me you give soon or you hurt will be
loíp haza síjaz hídít jo hazíp loa buŕétsu kutaz
