I translated

into Us'a Pa Kás. I then tried to make a post breaking down the syntax here in my thread. However, the language is too retarded to exist outside of my head, I think.

Here are two snippets, though:

I mean I can try. So.

The predicate consists of three things:
  • An auxiliary, which shows how the topic (see below) relates to the verb
  • A verb, which is one of go, come, do, make
  • An augment, which is an NP that gives more semantic information to the verb
So we have the AUG-V pairs "aimless_wandering do" and "eye POSS do", which can be translated as "to wander around aimlessly" and "to see"; the latter as a complication already has the subject in the augment because "eye" is mandatorily possessed.

Now, the topic is an NP as well, and it's promoted from elsewhere in the sentence, possibly from multiple places (as is the case here). The choice of NP is based on animacy - in this case the most animate NP was the pronoun "you". Wherever in the sentence this occurs, it is replaced by the morpheme T, which is realized as null if it's in a core relation with the verb (S, A or O), and as ti elsewhere (such as when it's the possessor of "eye").

The Modal is a modal particle, denoting "factual statement, very emotional"

No, my drawing skills are insufficient. Although, a deynud would probably look like this:

I reformed my categorisation/dating of the sound changes leading from Classical Latin to Vulgar Latin to Buonavallese (Classical Latin is a “safe bet” intermediate before delving into Vulgar Latin, but Buonavallese is still derived from VL!).

Orthography → Shorthand transcription (= showing vowel length)
Shorthand transcription → IPA (Classical Latin > 100 AD)
IPA → Vulgar Latin (ca. 100 AD – 500 AD)
Proto-Romanz → Proto-Peninsular Romanz (ca. 500 AD – 700 AD)
Proto-Peninsular Romanz → Proto-Buonavallese (ca. 700 AD – 900 AD)
Proto-Buonavallese → Old Buonavallese (ca. 900 AD – 1200 AD)
Old Buonavallese → Classical Buonavallese (ca. 1200 – 1500 AD)
Classical Buonavallese → Modern Buonavallese (ca. 1500 – 2000 AD)

The above dates are only general guides.

Started thinking about TLFKAT again today thanks to working on Ullxānt’axt and decided to incorporate some Kalaallisutesque morfofo:

aq + ła → arłła
ak + ła → agłła
at + ła → ałła

aq + na → arnna
ak + na → agnna
at + na → anna

where rn rł are uvular nasals and laterals and gn gł are their velar counterparts.

Reformed Sharan entirely, adding some extensive Athabaskan influence, mostly in verbal mood and aspect enclitics. I basically formed monstrosities like:

damipkišurŋul "I heard that you finished binding," yrŋedegišeimie "are you being bloodlet while lying down?" or aastoŋurjakšurkurmaa "I can finish crawling through the forest."

Thank you. I've always loved all those quirky and bizarre Native American constructs. I guess this is an exercise in Mongolobaskanism.

More Urland stuff.
This time: The Dizeuit faith.

I managed to generate two three names for the two deities and briefly explain their origin.

Lyhtbreht (< lieht ‘light’ + breht ‘bright’) ~ Lyhtrinc (< lieht ‘light’ + rinc ‘man’) ~ Lyhtnor (< lieht ‘light’ + nor(n) ‘Norn’)
Þysteorc (< þiestru ‘darnkness’ + deorc ‘dark’) ~ Þeostrinc (< þeostru ‘dark’ + rinc ‘man’) ~ Þystíor (þiestru ‘darnkness’ + tíw ‘Tīw’)

I might keep all the names.

To their origins: These two deities are twins who freed themselves from the prison of unity (singularity), and while creating the World of Urland, one found greater pleasure in destruction and misfortune than in good fortune and creation.

Keeping all of the names would be interesting! The various names could be used by certain ethnic groups, in certain areas, or by certain religious traditions.

I'll keep them with a nod towards Judaism and Islam, where (in the former, IIRC) the names were worn down so quickly that people had to come up with a new name for God.
I just want to avoid repetition.
