So, sweetie, what do you want to eat?
I eat this thing relation to love.
This?
Yes.

Hmmg. I think I'll just stick with the cheeseburger, thanks.

I'll be sure to enquire about their cheeseburger and exam prep course!

What are all the notes, exactly? A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# Those are the twelve tones of western music, of which all western music is comprised in all genres and time periods. If you used this method you could “translate” classical pieces backwards or write a pop melody that encodes a...

Can tell an absurdly funny joke.

An Idist, a Poliepsist and an Esperantist walk into a bar.

They each take the bar exam.

I really hate having to explain jokes.

Tarot. A thousand year old dream from China.

orichalcum (an imaginary metal) Actually I've heard a theory that orichalcum may be: A. An otherwise unattested dialectal word for "electrum", that became known as a mythical metal by Plato's time or B. If the story has non-Greek sources, one may have described electrum as "mountain ...

There's a religious language from Africa referred to as The Royal Language. I first heard it from a singer and kora player who had learned it in the South Georgia Sea Islands (USA). He sang with the sound of baby babble. I think the story of that area is a slave ship grounded there, and so that's w...

Dooz your conlang suggest rhythm? gkt My 3S has dialects with various vowel/consonant choices. Angelic, for instance, likes to have vowels that sing. Some work better with rhythm than others. Not all musics and not all languages are strongly rhythmic. And yet other musics and other languages are rh...

I quit .sigs a while ago; but I do like yours!

An identifiable tonal system does not have to be all that important. A natural music is freely associative. A psychic and sympathetic connection from one life to another is essential. By this a musician may inspire a squirrel to laughing and dancing. This is true. There is a music being played now,...

Enjoy your life and all the best! Have a suuuuperior day! Boka B Please stop that. If you really want to attach this to every post, you can add it as a 'signature' in your profile... So, is there now a rule against manual signatures? If there's no House Rule specifically forbidding this practice, a...

Soon I may contribute.

I hope so! You might be able to speak to mercentaur architecture, and millions of other architectures across your invented oecumene.

Habitus of Body, Mind & Spirit Are any of your peoples tall and thin? Are they short or squat? Do they have wings? Are they semiaquatic or aerial? Are they half humanoid half zebroid half paravian? A race's basic shape and form will impact architecture as well. Winged people will not get along ...

Worked, wreaked, wrought. What are the similarities and differences? Which are correct and which incorrect? I think wrought is becoming a new / alternative past tense / participle of wreak. Usually we find wreak / wrought in conjunction with havoc. Both wrought and wreaked can be found with havoc; ...

Googling octagopeds turned up nothing -- they must be a Yeolan class of creatures! Are they molluscs? Indeed! The shallow seas beyond the Eastlands in particular are chock full of such creatures! It would be a marine biologist's dream! Or nightmare, depending. It's not Diznee's little mermaid down ...

'Twould be fun to think about polyhedrons as well. Truly, a conlang is not complete until one has a word for all manner of DnD dice. https://skullsinthestars.files.wordpress.com/2017/03/alldice21.jpg?w=584&h=438 ...why does this image include a d120 but not a d100. Although I have polygons from...

Canadian dollars? I did not know that. And you're welcome for the link! In the most recent word list my friend made from his corpus, "pentagon" ranks as word #4,462 (no doubt because of the military building in the U.S.), "octagon" is #20,418 (maybe articles about wrestling?), a...

tYay. Compounds that have a more specific meaning than their components occur in many languages. Think of English blackbird - not every black bird is a blackbird. I know this is off of the subject we were discussing, but The "windows" that is "Microsoft" should be translated int...
