Lexember 31:

dexir
[ˈdɛksɪɾ]
to carry on, inherit, keep a tradition

cádir
[ˈkoːðɪɾ]
to hand something down, start a tradition, intend for a purpose

These two words have overlapping meanings but from opposite directions. The passive participles dexit and cádit (especially with prás custom) can both mean tradition or inheritance, but the former emphasizes the heir and the latter the benefactor or originator.

Íro ean easalli dexit prás ste.
this my-GEN household-GEN inherit-PASS custom COP2.PRES
This is a tradition in my household.

Ea parre íro prás cádinea.
my father this custom hand.down-PST
My father started this tradition.

Dexit rana and cádit rana both mean hand-me-down clothing, but the latter implies that it was handed down by a specific person. You might use the former to imply that someone came into possession of the clothing without a clear giver, or to talk about hand-me-downs more generally (where there might have been multiple former owners).

Dexit msýste ("inherited memory") could mean a memory passed down through a story told by one's parents, but it could also mean the legacy one ends up having. Cádit msýste ("intended memory") means the legacy one intends to have.

Msérsca speakers have a saying:

Dexir cádir ve ne cádir dexir ste.
We could translate this as: To keep a tradition is to start one, and to start one means to keep one. In other words, old things are continually reinvented as we transmit them, and new things always arise from some precedent.

This also illustrates how the cádir/dexir distinction mirrors that between Msérsca's two copulas, var and star. The former translates well to most senses of English be, but the latter is more like to end up, remain, be left or Spanish quedar.

Rí flori náari prári dexisso?
Do y'all keep [any] New Year's traditions?
