Sixsnọkwh... tlhulhsnọq?

I smile, and shake my head.

Just ask me, Sixsnọkwh hí? That's all.

Ibiklu khaykh ukya should be 1sg-klu verb 2pl. Maybe "come with me"? I have a theory: Sketch said Arayaz likes direct-inverse systems... -klu could be an animate object AND possessive marker, while -mi is for inanimate subjects (as Trailsend said this is probably how slaaha works). There'...

(Hiding Waters has enough shenanigans going on that I don't think giving you this hint will spoil anything: Phonology isn't as much of an area of interest for me as morphosyntax is, so at present, there are no sound changes, or any morphophonological processes really. There's some allophony, but no...

Ooooh. I think I just got a correction, "Crausisg Nŭh" is good to keep a lookout for. "Crausisg" could be 'say', or 'should say', or some such? The word order is interesting, with Nŭh coming last instead of first. Maybe because it's an imperative? Ah! Tĭ Na Souig Nŭh Nŭhje Wasog...

(Aha! Cool cool.)

Nŭh Sou Tĭ Na Nŭhje Wasog?

(Ah, realized I made a mistake: that was supposed to be It hya ka'e plio? , not It kya ka'e plio?[/b]. I imagine it doesn't make a difference?) Ooooh, okay. The sentence-ending situation is more involved :D 9) (It) hya ka'e li. This is a rock. 13) It hya ka'e lio? Is this a rock? 10) (It) hya ka'e p...

I stop by the fern and kneel down, closing my fist around the stems where they meet the soil, like I'm about to yank it out of the ground.

Suhakkan, hamklu slaaha uftanmi?

1) Ruseng dem a yong Hayaka! ??? ("Welcome to Hayaka", maybe?) 2) Ya nakawa Adupheu. ya na?-kawa Adupheu ?? 1-name? Adupheu My name is Adupheu. 3) Ya dene rikawa ma? ya dene ri?-kawa ma? ?? ?? 2-name? ma What is your name? (In Hayakan, how do you say "What is that?") Ya nakawa T...

I take it. "Na Ba Nŭh Jace Naje Wasog." Hmm, anyone have any guesses what Jace is about? Or Ba ? Maybe Jace is something like "take" or "receive", and Ba is "from"? I might have expected them to say Nŭhje Wasog at the end instead of Naje in that case, but may...

Here we go!!!! :D :D :D I would say ṭikixsnọst to mean I was fixing the rock?" Ah, no, that ( 20a ṭikixsnọst ) would mean I was fixing it. If you were fixing it, you'd say 20b) ṭijixsnọst . And if I said qilhsqọlwhisnqiò (I'm not sure that's the right ị́nixstẹ ─ is it?) Close! 21a) Qilhsqọlwhi...

"You said ṭikixlọst was fixing a net. Is that word somehow connected to the word for just 'net' ─ tlhilhsnọq ?" I ask. "And am I getting the ị́nixstẹ right?" I toss my head. That was perfect! That was really perfect, dang!! It should be. If you said tlhilhsnọq when you told me a...

So.... tlhulhlhxtọq means "net" without anything inside? Is there a word for if you were talking about something that has something inside? Mm, no, tlhulhlhxtọq just means it's a net, maybe there's something in it or maybe not. But if that's what you said, tlhulhlhxtọq , then the net is s...

I’m tempted to volunteer for this using one of the Twin Aster languages. join us I do have to be careful about jumping into so many of these that I can't give them all proper attention XD But there's enough folks playing that it seems so far like there's enough to go around! This game is the defini...

(Hmm, maybe useful here...how would you say:)

8. She is tall.

9. He is very tall.

10. She is taller than me.

11. He is the tallest. (Or "He is the tallest one here"/"He is the tallest of us" or such, if that works better)

My eyes widen a little. Yes! Or, almost. 18a*) qulhlhwhixnqọquò You'd say: 18b) Qulhsqọlwhisnquò That's a rock that's in the water. Well...it could be in the water. It could be in something else, any lwhuxsn thing. Here, I'll show you. I step away from the table, lift a fishing net from a peg on th...

I jut my jaw toward the rock.

17) Nȯ qulhsqọquò.

He nods vigorously, trying to mimic human body language to get his point across. (Aww! Lookit us trying to use each other's body language! [<3] [<3] ) I hold up my synth. <g rMLcdrMr...> "mmmmmm." As I hum, I pat my own chest and clutch the synth close to me. Then I gesture at his synth w...

????????????? (lolololol I know exactly what facial expression this represents, people have made it at me so many times in real life [xD] [xD] ) Aj!! Na Sou Tĭ Nŭh Ej Juco. First guesses: Sou: give Tĭ: to? Ej: the? Also looks like general word order is S V I O, or maybe S V (any prepositional phras...

"Kahiþra," says Suhakkan. "Ibiklu khayh ukya," he says, gesturing for you to follow him as he walks down what seems to be a well-trodden path. Using otaklu worked!! https://reactiongifs.com/r/2011/09/mind_blown.gif Incredibly, I feel better about that "You all call me"...

I take it. "Gin Nŭh Gotor. Tzejr Juco Na Aj As̖ar Jacejig?" Maybe Gin Nŭh Gotor is "thank you" of some kind? I don't recognize Gotor yet, but we've seen Gin in Gin Bizĕje Huejlĕr, who are you?? Interesting to se Aj stuck in the middle of a phrase like that. We've seen it be &quo...
