Lexember Day 22: Paaaar-taaaay

[aldersprig]

rix_scaedu asked for parties!

To begin with, we'll want the word for party, which comes from lok, meal, and rook, tribe or family group: lok-ryu-rook (meal for the whole tribe), Lokurook. From this word you get Lokook, /lō 'ko͝ok/ party, as well as lokozh, a grand festival or large meal at a gathering.

(See the post on trade).

Recently, the term lokurdin - from derdin, friends, from diednerdin (obsolete), who who trusts another, from ner, trust - has risen to prominence. A meal-for-friends is a completely social gathering, often with alcoholic drinks featuring heavily.

What kind of a drinking culture do they have?

I do not know! This is a very good question.
