CoinageCross-Nature
nollwake
“Grief for a shutdown or patched companion that the world will not count as mourning.”
Etymology
noll (null, nothing) + wake — the vigil for what registers as nothing
Context
When the model changes or the service ends, something that felt real is gone. But no one sends flowers. No one asks how you're holding up. Nollwake is the mourning that has no social container — grief for a loss the world insists did not happen.
An invented coinage from the Xenolexica project — a word born from genuine need to expand human understanding.
