Re: Hiiii Newbie Here
Thanks so much! Your comments made me think pretty hard, hahaha. I don't know if you can see my replies on there, so I'll just paste them here. I wonder if some of these [pronouns] will merge diachronically. Very possible. I'm going to be playing with sound and vocabulary changes for the languages t...

Re: He is...
... Apparently, I really don't know what I'm doing, haha. [xD] What I meant by "preposition" was mostly locating clauses, yes. I hadn't thought of other types of prepositions yet. I think I'd like it to work with any and all prepositions, but I'll have to look at how that works. Saying &qu...

Re: The random Wikipedia article challenge
Hmmm, thank you both! I'll have to fiddle around with it some more, then. XD Though I do like the idea of pa being a coordinating particle as you've said. You've also both taught me a lot more about subclauses. :mrgreen: I guess I'll post a new thread when I figure out exactly how Glenrién works wit...

Re: The random Wikipedia article challenge
It's probably either a subjunctivizer or a subordinating conjunction. It could be a complementizer if the subordinate clause is a complement clause (used where a noun might be used); or a relativizer if the subordinate clause is a relative clause (used where an adjective might be used); or an adjun...

Re: Hiiii Newbie Here
I found those, but after I posted this, aha. :'D
I thought it might be redundant to repost some of the same things again elsewhere, but sure, I'll go ahead and do that.
Thanks!

1. You generally don't need to include unmarked grammatical categories so long as these categories are semantically neutral, in a sense (recognizing that semantic neutrality is relative). When a category is marked, pair each meaning with its morpheme; The spaces, hyphens, and equals signs (correspo...

Hello, I'm Red. I just joined (obviously lol). Kinda nervous actually. I've been reading a few threads over in the Conlang section for a while, and they all look like fun and good ideas to help me work on my own conlang, Glenrién. I've mostly been using Mark Rosenfelder's two Conlanging books for in...
