Conlang for Lexember!!

I am going to build a language for one of the Cursteroids races.

Today I am going to decide what I want it to sound like.

Feee-t’tpp?

Okay, it’s a whistley language with some stops and some long vowels.

And since it’s LEX ember…
Feee-t’tpp, which will get a better transcription later, is a semi-onomatopoeic swoop/dive.

Oh, I guess this is a flying race. Good to know!

No, I just want to play the game! :)

What's a word or phrase for a new flyer — or a distracted experienced flyer — making a spectacular 19-point landing when they do something like trip over their own feet on touchdown?

Oh! Now I need to figure out if it’s an aggluglinating (Or however that is spelled) language.

Words!

Wind and air movement and height and glide planes and precipitation.

Food. What do they eat? Do they gather, hunt, herd, farm? What are some favorites?

Threats. Weather? Predators? Enemies? Disease?

Places. You have a map. What do they call their territory, their houses, their communal spaces, their lookout perches, ...
