Animal Discovery Activity #2🐿️🔍
This is a weekly activity that is supposed to replicate the new discovery of a wild animal into our conlangs.
In this activity, I will display a picture of an animal and say what general habitat it'd be found in, and then it's your turn.
Imagine how an explorer of your language might come back and describe the creature they saw and develop that into a word for that animal. If you already have a word for it, you could alternatively just explain how you got to that name.
Put in the comments:
- Your lang,
- The word for the creature,
- Its origin (how you got to that name, why they might've called it that, etc.),
- and the IPA for the word(s)
