The CBB

Right time to resurrect this thread with some further posts on some random bits of things I've uncovered about the language since this thread was last written on. I've got three main ideas that I would like to discuss here. In this post I'm planning to discuss new discoveries as to relative segment ...

/t s k/ /b bʷ d d͡ʒ g/ /m mʷ n ɲ ŋ/ /v w l j/ The voiced stops are prenasalised in intervocalic position and optionally prenasalised word-initially. The rounding contrast on labials is defective, with rounding being automatic adjacent to rounded vowels, and there are relatively few rounded labials o...

:con: Asta A little bit on the clunky side as translations go, but probably the best way to convey all the information in the original sentence in a context-free setting would be the following: mityaxən tyən ‘iya‘əx‘ax yitə nya‘xwəx 1sg-Vpl-hear Vpl-thing 3erg-Ipl-strike-NOM-PL Ipl-person IIpl-bear ...

Something like what new Frislandic's phonology is going to be /(p) t̪ t͡s ʈ k kʷ/ /b d̪ d͡z ɖ (g)/ /ɬ̪ s ʂ h ʍ/ /m n̪ ɳ ɲ ŋ/ /(w) l̪ j ɽ w/ /p g/ are restricted to loanwords. Consonan clusters are only found intervocalically, and are uncommon in roots. /iə uə/ /e ə o/ /a ɒ/ /aɪ ɒʊ/ Word-final conson...

One that I find funny about Ring 1 is sister to cousin. It seems innocuous, but the word for “cousin” I got from Frislander was specifically male cousin and I then in turn used the term for older brother/older male parallel cousin. The original “sister” switched genders and relations but could very...

Torch sent!

Torch Received at last!

If this is how far it's going to be delayed I think I'm either going to have to drop out or be shunted to the end, cause I don't think I'm going to have access to my laptop at the time period it currently looks like I'm supposed to be doing my leg in. Apparently Click might take a bit longer too, s...

I remember this being the case too, and I don't recall the orthography changing that frequently even then.

Syllable structure is (C)V, where V syllables are only found word-initially.

I'd better throw my hat into the ring with Asta, happy to be stuck on the end of ring 1 if that's OK.

I'm not gonna bother saying much here because honestly enough troll-feeding has been done on the ZBB as it is bust just a notice to everyone that you really needn't bother responding to him, you'll only feed the trolls, just go look what's been happening over on the ZBB and boot him out now to save ...
