Re: Fredauon Fun Facts
I am not sure about the terminology but I thought of a one-way pair as two one-way streets (with opposing directions) that are independent and separated by some space. If you would turn left (assuming you drive on the right-hand lane) and then go straight, you would still have to cross the opposing ...

Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax
If you decide to go with this idea, I'd be interested to see if you'd create metaphors with inanimate objects acting on human beings to express concepts that we'd handle differently in English, since the resulting sentences would be shorter by perhaps two syllables. To start with a simple idea, wou...

Re: Fredauon Fun Facts
Left turns at an intersection are dangerous and a major cause of accidents *here* and probably also *there*.

Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax
How about crossing marked nominative alignment with split ergativity? Let's say the split is based on animacy. Animate subjects and inanimate objects of transitive verbs would be marked with the direct (?) case. Wece-sung tuba-sung diku. woman-DIR stone-DIR admire. The woman admires the stone. Both...

Re: The Sixth Conversation Thread
I see from your descriptions that our tastes differ considerably (I also like science fiction/fantasy/superhero stuff but I really need some action scenes in order to be happy in addition to stuff that makes me ponder or something new. And I get weirded out by most crime shows and political drama.) ...

Re: Fredauon Fun Facts
I guess that depends on the height that the aeroplankton occurs in. When it's higher up, people will see it but not feel it. I was thinking of it being closer to the dust in the Sahara Air Layer *here*. If it comes down on an inhabited area, it might cause problems for people with asthma or allergie...

Re: The partner of the benefactive is...?
I don't think a benefactive case is the case used for the 'giver', that should be a pegative case, IINM. The case used for a recipient is the dative case.

Re: What happened on November 18th 2019 at 18:41 UTC?
My guess is that there were lots of bots on that day, maybe even spambots. Maybe it was the time when spambots discovered kitchen-sink (conlangs) and tried to sell us kitchens?
