Thosaigh mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge arís roinnt lae ó shin ach is deacair a foghlaim teanga nuair nach bhfuil aithne ag duine ar dhuine éigin ar féidir an teanga sin ag labhairt leis.

Re: What did you accomplish today?

I have been working on filling my new Lexicon of Sevòn today. I have already created some derivational morphemes, so I can create words that are related to already existing ones. For example I have lîs ("silver") and lîsnèda ("silvery"), where the suffix -nèda indicates "loo...

Re: What did you accomplish today?

Today I worked on a phonology for the restart of one of my prior conlangs, Sevòn. When I first created Sevòn I had way too many phonemes, especially for the vowels/monophthongs. Besides, there were some other features I do not like anymore. So I have been toying with the thought of giving that conla...

Ich bin so froh, dass bei mir in der Gegend (zumindest auf den für mich relevanten Strecken) nicht mehr die Deutsche Bahn fährt, sondern die Eurobahn, die normalerweise nicht streikt. :D
Zumindest hatten wir, seitdem die Eurobahn die Strecken übernommen hat, nie Probleme damit.

No, usually everything is alright and my head doesn't hurt. But that carousel is very fast and fierce.
