“Bẽkä” means “leaf” in Sarkezhe. Because of the word’s similarity to “home” in its proto-form (“bẽ”), it became tradition to gift a leaf to a cat moving into a new home. #conlang #LangTime #Sarkezhe instagr.am/p/CnlhDeIr495/

A leader among the cats passes off the ceremonial pencil and book to a perky puppy from the dog pack. The dogs are ready for their language creation to begin tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. Pacific during our #LangTime livestream! #conlang instagr.am/p/Cn2--QUvUR2/

David sported a #LangTime shirt for our first episode of Season 5 today—we started the DogLang!! #conlang instagr.am/p/Cn5hqKev5D4/

We had a blast with the first episode of the dog language and have a great start on the sounds! #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/CoB3N9lLx8s/

We hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring day! #LangTime #conlang instagr.am/p/Co3wjunLumf/

This puppy is patiently awaiting tomorrow’s #LangTime livestream, when we will dive back into features of the dog #conlang! instagr.am/p/Co-8UNvPDX1/

It’s been raining a lot lately, which makes me want to bake cookies! #LangTime instagr.am/p/CpKHcV9umOY/

We have a word for “dog” in the dog #conlang! It is “bram.” #LangTime instagr.am/p/Cpt4nssOuau/

Another word in the dog #conlang is [ħau], meaning “to howl.” We had fun with this onomatopoeic word to mimic a howl! #LangTime instagr.am/p/Cp1VS78LMF7/

We decided to create three different words for lying down in the dog #conlang, one of which is [om], meaning “to lie on one’s belly.” This kind of lying down is more alert than the others—like taking a rest while still paying attention to the world. #Lan… instagr.am/p/Cp_yfSzu-al/

The word for “ear” in our dog #conlang is currently [ɑʟo]. My favorite kinds of dog ears are the fluffy, floppy ones! 😁 #LangTime instagr.am/p/CqGvtsUvRw4/

The wor [ħuə] means “to chase” in our dog #conlang, and these puppies are having fun with the chase! #LangTime instagr.am/p/CqR0aSNtFLE/

We created the word [ʊxʊ] meaning “mouse” in the dog #conlang. This mouse is conducting a choir of dogs! #LangTime instagr.am/p/CqrtQpdu4vG/

Our final verb meaning “to lie down” refers specifically to a lying down that is tired-and-sleepy-but-not-quite-asleep. #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/Cq2AK3mO1PU/

We created a new root for the kinds of ears that stand straight up: [kʰai]! #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/Cq9dmiIt4FE/

We finally have a name for the dog language! #Haughòf #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/CrO5IMUutLw/

We decided to create a variety of plural forms in #Haughòf, and here they are demonstrated with “kwav” (“bird”)! #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/CrY3f3HOvXs/

“Mem” means “to pull” in #Haughòf, and these two dogs are enjoying an intense game of tug-o-war! #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/CryzcygvGOW/

This is Turquois Dupris, our very own Haughòf-speaking private eye sleuth! #conlang #LangTime instagr.am/p/CsH3EKmPgsM/

“Fèlfèl” is the word for ‘forest, woods’ in #Haughòf. #LangTime #conlang instagr.am/p/CsPefORPeud/
