I haven't been posting on this thread, but I have been following it. How long have you been working on these stories of yours, if you feel like sharing?

Wrote 30-40 aphorisms. Ah, how strange the fruits of banality! (Banality here referring to Music Appreciation class)

...frost Lynx...

did you mean this?

Nillahimma has an atelic which means "no beginning or end," which is pretty close to eternal, IMO.
Then again, it is a conlang...

Wouldn't be such a bad thing, would it?

Never! But in this case, I don't really want it to, no matter how much it calls to me.

Oh, is this another term for subject and/or object agreement marking on verbs? Yes, that's right. I'm just used to polylangs, so I'm used to incorporating [:x] But now that you mention it, I may have verbs inflect for number; probably just singular vs. plural. But if I'm not careful, those verbs wi...

Getting more of a Tolkienesque vibe than a Norse one from those ablauts TBH, but still cool! That suits me just fine! :mrgreen: [:D] [<3] I do enjoy it! I like the look of the words very much. Especially þurvvi iweyn eygn . [+1] Looking forward to seeing more of this and/or other languages from you...

Would those be Thaenous or Thaeneous Musings? [xD] I'm personally rather partial to adjectives in -eous... Looking forward to further peeks into the world of all things Thaeneous! [;)] Depends on if the situation calls for it to rhyme with "heinous!" [B)] You ninja'd me, but I hope you en...

First up: an Old-Norse inspired conlang. I found out I love the word "valkyrie," BTW. [<3] /b t d k g/ <v t d k g> /m n ŋ/ <m n gn> /f v θ ð ç s z h ɦ/ <f w þ ð ss s z h gh> /j l ɹ ʍ/ <j l r v> /i ɪ ø ɛ a ə ɑ ɔ u ʉ/ <i y ø e a ä ö o u ü> Haven't gotten the phonotactics worked out yet, but ...

This is a thread for me to post stuff about different conlangs that I probably won't flesh out for a while, so I can have some ideas down without devoting a whole thread to a lang and then letting it get buried, as I usually do.

Is Czech <ř> Pronounced by moving the tongue to where one would pronounce /S/, and making a flap/trill? If this phoneme could also be realized as a post-alveolar trill [ r̠ ], your description would be right. If you are referring to the realization of <ř> as a fricativized trill [ r̝ ] (aka raised ...

No one can make you do anything, at least over the Internet.

I think it's because they don't see them to be "harmless," but instead as an activity detrimental to the development of said children.

And I must give a shout-out to Princessa for his conlang didactics on Kozea. His videos capture a lot of the spirit of an L2 didactic-segment, as well as substance. His self-deprecating thread on Kozea was one of the first ones I visited on CBB. So...is Prinsessa a guy or a gal? Or do they prefer t...

This reproductive strategy, as you've presented it thus far, is pretty much doomed to fail. What stops the non-dominant broods from running off and reproducing on their own instead of becoming servants? Why isn't the situation with Eendaryl, well, normal ? It certainly is in socially-oriented speci...

A Quandary I think I want to make Lago isolating-fusion, instead of purely isoating. I just am not really happy with how it's going right now. I also need to shorten the morphemes to single syllables. That's one of the main problems. I am having to resist the call of morpheme to word ratios -- rati...

So, this thread is going to be an AMA, a scratchpad for my ideas, and sometimes a thread for posting anecdotes after the fashion of Micamo's threads. I am also going to move some stuff here from the Lago Language Thread , which I will attempt to keep solely linguistic (except where culture and langu...
