Comparison (Sommahete) Although Pekseili does not have adjectives per se, nouns can function as modifiers and can easily undergo adjective-like comparison. Due to the fact that such comparison is not inflectional, it is hard to tell how many comparison degrees nouns have exactly. But I can tell you...

I've decided to rewrite everything that's already been said, exclude what's outdated, include what's new, and generally describe the Pekseili grammar in a different way than I previously did (or at least tried :P). Please read to the very end. :P Revised Pekseili Guide (sounds, grammar, et cetera) P...

Pekseili

Who are you?

I am me.

Quite polite and nice.

By the way, am I correctly concluding that although Pekseili is by design a strongly head-initial language, the context-verb constructions above (especially those with ren ) give it a more head-final flavor? Please excuse my stupidity here, as I'm sure the answer should be obvious to me and I'm jus...

I feel like Pekseili is finally becoming complete. [>:D] Here are definitions of some units used to measure time in Pekseili: Munta – heikiv sumen letakihi meise tanakusaleksu meise maikkuuahe mainitte hatta. Munta manan suamen puliv kaalavan suamen sitliv. Kihi pilo kitustu pulu sanaselle sanaraaih...

I'm coming with a yet another update on what's going on with Pekseili :P This time I'll cover the part of speech that I used to call particles and that has been more concretely described since then. Now, they are called context verbs , or personal verbs , and in the following post I will elaborate o...

I think I'm doing too much work at the same time. xD However, I like it where Pekseili is going. I got rid of adjectives. Instead, all nouns can function as nominal modifiers. The 7-grade comparison now uses auxiliary nominal modifiers instead of suffixes. When compounding, the head (last) root must...

Alright, it's been quite a while since my post. By this time I made several improvements to the language, added some features that I found interesting. I'll list all changes here in this post, and later I may change my previous posts to reflect the changes. (I hope I don't skip anything by accident....

I hope you're still observing this thread ;) Because I have a question about the /w/ sound. I'm curious how exactly it is pronounced. Here the Japanese /w/ is described as [w͍] (with a left-right arrow below) and it is said that "The Japanese w is not equivalent to a typical IPA [w] since it is...

:con: Pekseili (Vutulkian) kikku is a word that is not easy to translate into English; it is best described as a fusion of the meanings of a house, shop and a building. Not a family house, not an apartment and not a hotel. It's a general way to describe a building with a purpose of some kind of serv...

Looks very nice! Was this writing system inspired, at least in part, by the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics ? Nope. The only language to inspire me to use a syllabary rather than an alphabet was Japanese. Although this insipiration was limited to the sole idea only; the shapes of the symbols are unre...
