Why do they call them "Loan Words", when the "borrowing" language has no intention of giving them back?

When was the last time some one gave you back anything after they asked you if they could loan it?

Frequently, usually money. (Though my best mate and I have given up keeping track of who owes who what over the years.)

Lucky! Most people I know don't usually hold their end of the bargain, but then again I just wait for people to forget my tab.

I think they're called loanwords because they aren't guaranteed to stay in the lexicon permanently.

Have I or any of my works been mentioned in the podcast yet? Just curious.

I am free to do segments if you need me.

No word is is guaranteed to stay in the lexicon permanently. You guys are really overthinking this. Borrowing a word is like pirating music -- you get something for free, but no one else really loses the item. Also, the OED says it's a calque of the German word 'lehnwort'.

I dunno. Take a look at the episode list.

There is nothing wrting with it. Actually, I like every sound - each one has its own beauty.

If I do a three-vowel system, I like to have it tilted clockwise. That means, something like /i æ o/ instead of /i a u/.

And yes, Uskra is great.

Now, I have no time to check what is amman îar about, sorry. Could you add some kind of explanation? Is it a conlang or what?

Uhm, yes it is. With episode 60 we changed the format so that we now do a discussion topic one week and a featured conlang the next. #61 is the first episode entirely dedicated to a conlang. You can find a link to the amman îar online materials in the shownotes for the episode.

amman îar is a perfect choice for the first conlang-specific episode.

I was kinda hoping that this turn to single-segment episodes would mean everyone had time to read all about the language beforehand.... [:S]

Working on it. Bad habits die hard. But I did really look at amman îar beforehand much more than I usually do.
