Re: Extreme Conlang Ideas
I feel like the "featural palindromes" concept I've been toying with for V4.1 is definitely "extreme" in several ways. tl;dr: (1) All constituents are discontinuous, combining through a process of "looming" with strictly-defined parts of speech, (2) all roots are of som...
