You can also just happen to blunder into it. You can get harmony through sound changes, applied judiciously. For example, in some Arabic dialects (like my professor’s), the emphatic consonants affected nearby vowels (particularly /a a:/), and this emphatic status went on to affect all vowels in a wo...

Field Methods was one of my two favorite classes in my linguistics studies (the other being Techniques in Historical Linguistics). I had a blast.

That's amusing, and quite a possibility.

I had a nightmare that my father and I had a massive falling-out.

Update: Looks like the subdomains were restored but not pushing new changes. I tried to add a new page to one of my hosted sites but it still errors instead of displaying what I just uploaded (persists upon multiple and spaced-out refreshes).‬

The mainpage seems to work but the subdomains aren’t showing up (you can still FTP into them but they aren’t actually visible on the web). I’ve informed the LCS about this; no word yet on it though.
