Re: petaQ, tlhIngan Hol yIghojqu'
New words (and clarifications) from qepHom 22 in November 2023: https://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepHom2023 I noticed words for diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2 have been included! There’s no word for diabetes insipidus. Perhaps not even their medical professionals and technicians have needed such a ...

Re: Words/forms avoided because they "look/sound" strange
Er, don't English adjectives that end in -ly usually keep the single -ly ending as adverbs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8Xb_7YDroQ "SoCal is where my mind states/But it's not my state of mind/I'm not as ugly sad as you." Definitely not usually. The use of “ugly sad” in the example yo...

Re: Lehola Galaxy Megathread
Isn’t 1.4 Solar masses Chandrasekhar’s limit? At that mass the star will go supernova, wouldn’t it? And, don’t smaller-mass stars survive longer than larger-mass stars, as long as we’re considering only stars massiver than brown dwarfs? Chandrasekhar's limit has nothing to do with this; it's just a...

Re: Weird Dream Thread
I dreamed my late ex-wife and I were trying to get my car fixed. For some reason the guy I was handing it in to, wanted to know our ages. I said, “I’m 50 and she’s 46”. He looked very skeptical. He turned to my ex and asked her. She said “I’m 67 and he’s 71”. I thought to myself “That’s right! Is my...

Re: Dluure najja
The idea was that they work like Turkish ğ. a+ɰ -> a: ə+ɰ -> ə: i+ɰ -> ɨ(:) u+ɰ / u+w -> u: i+j -> i: But I think it's about morphology if the analysis is meaningful. If the glide emerges in some environments, probably before a vowel, it's meaningful to analyze it on the underlying level. Dluure Na...

Re: Make Love
…. * PIV sex between human adults, vs. …. By "between human adults", do you mean only sex wherein both partners are over the age of consent? Or do you just mean "sex between postpubescents" (e.g. sex between a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old in Texas)? One of those, not sure which...

Re: Dluure najja
I'm also considering if long vowels should be analysed as vowel + glide combinations. Maybe not all of them. But maybe all, or most, of them. Can most of your phonemic diphthongs be analyzed as a vowel which has been one or more ot the following; Post-labialized or Post-palatalized or Pre-labialize...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread
@Shemtov :
Whence cometh the name “Waanic”?
It seems somewhat similar to the name of an Australian Aboriginal language that is unfortunately recently extinct.

Re: Naming Practices
Woe to the tenth child, for he shall be Nameless. Not really! If the (say) tenth-or-later son’s father has enough uncles, and the son’s mother has enough granduncles, they can just continue the pattern already established, as long as they don’t duplicate a name of the father or an older brother. Or...

Re: Benefits of Conlang ??
In addition to the benefits others have already mentioned, I have found that, when I expected two or a handful of features could go together in a natlang, but as far as anyone knows never have gone together in any natlang, by trying to construct a conlang with that bundle of features, I could find o...

@BobiBob, & @Ossicone : To me, if there is going to be a binary dichotomy of sexual acts, what “feels” most “natural”, is: * PIV sex between human adults, vs. * Every other kind of sex. That’s subjective, and is not based on any study of cultural diversity on this topic. So, my subjective “feeli...

Re: Does the grammar make sense?
I agree with what Veles just wrote!
Also: conlangernoob, it’s been about 9 months since we’ve heard from you about your conlang!
Last we heard from you on this thread, was February this year!
Do you have anything else to tell us?
I’m pretty sure all of us would be interested!
