(I would cleanly join the narrative but Danté can't be late to everything so i'm gonna ask we Just Act Like He Was Here The Whole Time And Was Just Listening Creepily From A Distance™.) "Ah, Ibiklu laap ukya Dantésan. Kahiþra." I arrive to the village a short while after the other travele...

"I think I understand," I say. "So if, like, something about it is changing, or if it's just ... a stronger action, you might change the x to s there?"

Bi Araias niestel? Ni — they gesture at their face — Etiam niestel. Ok, so bi is some sort of second person pronoun and ni is first person? And niestel has something to do with names, it seems. " Ni Araias niestel ," I say. I gesture at Trailsend, saying, " mmm Trailsend niestel. &qu...

Hi there everyone!! I'm UnbiasedBrigade (Kai is one of my nicknames, in case you want to know). I speak English and Hindi fluently, and know bits of Greek (both modern and Doric), French, Esperanto, Bhojpuri, and a few others that I know a few small bits of, but not enough to be notable. I have had...

I toss my head again. Close! You would say 12c) qilhujuxq̇ẹ̀ . The qilh in qilhuxq̇ẹ̀ is always qilh . As for qilhijixq̇ẹ̀ and qilhijisq̇ẹ̀ ... I shift uncomfortably again. They mean the same thing, I think. I guess...if you say qilhijixq̇ẹ̀ , it's just happening. But if you say qilhijisq̇ẹ̀ , it's...

I smile gratefully. "Ibiklu slaaha ipshimi. ...Kahiþra?" "Kahiþra, haayashin ibi," says Suhakmay. She quickly strides off, presumably to grab water. "It sounds odd to say kahiþra there ─ here, at least," says Suhakkan. "You sound like a southerner when you do.&quo...

"All right," I say, thoughtfully. "Now ─ and I'm still going to ị́nȯxstẹ with you, of course ─ so how would I, with ị́nȯxstẹ, say 'I am running'?" You would say to me, 12a) Qilhijixq̇ẹ̀ or maybe 12b) Qilhijisq̇ẹ̀. "All right," I say. "What's the difference in mean...

The subtropical climate here reminds me of home as I materialize into the space. It's been a while since I had to travel, so for once, I feel relaxed. I catch sight of Trailsend and the faerie folk, and wave before walking in their direction. Bey novi! do you want to do it monolingually too or the ...

Oh, Trailsend, could you make a list of the players, with links to their threads, in the first post of this thread? Thanks

Since you're the one beginning the conversation, you'd say: 1a) A oabolw. And then I'd say: 1b) Ajan e geobeka. "Well then, a oabolw," I say. I pick up a rock from the ground. "Debo ga?" Yes! That's correct! Bubo ga? 3) Bubo laibe. OOC: I just realized I messed up here, that sho...

"Hmmm," I say. "Could I say slnrGH to say 'that is green?' If so, could I say rnL slnrGH to mean 'that is not green?'" He pauses, assuming a canine sitting stance. He reaches up with a rear leg as a dog would to scratch its ear. He cocks his head to the side and tugs gently at h...

I cup one hand, and taking my waterskin, pour the last splash of water inside into it. I hold out my hand with the little puddle of water to Suhakkan. Aw taa muryo? "Aw taa ipshi," says Suhakkan. "Hamklu slaaha ipshimi?" asks Suhakmay. (A meta note: I'm co-opting Suhakkan and Su...

"It seems," I say, "that the words you use when you ị́nȯxstẹ are very similar to the ones you use when you ụ́lȯxstẹ. Is that right? And if you learned a new word that was ị́nȯxstẹ, could you figure out the ụ́lȯxstẹ of it?" I'm seeing correspondences like this: i / u ị / ụ (but no...

"You could say taa muryo. Or aw taa muryo," he says.
