Re: Your first conlang

My first conlang had somewhat interesting ideas about its vowel system contrasting short, long and laxed vowels at 3 places. Besides that it was purely CV except for some nasal + vowel sequences which reduced.

Re: Analysis Swap: Amarin

You head across the city and to the bar which you see named “Isuku” with a small catkin beginning to light the lights: you are early. She greets you with a bow of her head and seats you in with no word just a few nonsense syllables “aman na ama nan”. You are given the menu for all five of you before...

Re: Formation of vowel harmony?

Final vowel triggered Umlaut + final vowel loss is a way i have come up to to get vowel harmony although i don't think i have used it.

So *patoki > *pädök and *patoku > *padok. This would lead to morpholigical alterations in previously suffixing languages but its great for prefixing languages.

I don't think he let me contribute to the conworld but the term bright way is in fact from bright way. I used the greek term for brilliance to distinguish it.

Re: Random pantheon

Here's another setting that never went anywhere. The paragons (gods) found humanity, naked, alone, and wild. They took pity on these naked apes and taught them to build and farm and craft. The titans (personifications of dispassionate nature that are neither good nor evil) were a threat to the huma...
