46. A
47. B
48. C, metathesis: dn -> nd, etc.
49. A
50. Frislander's suggestion, but also an alternative Cyrillic orthography.

X. Frislander's suggestion of *kʷe, since that seems the most logical.

X2. Everything I suggested before, but the only thing I really care about is conflating Satanaya with Mary the mother of Jesus. In the end, she should be called simply Satana for maximum false friendliness with how the Devil is called in Georgian and Armenian, სატანა (Satana) and Սատանա (Satana) respectively. If everyone thinks that's a stupid idea, ok... I guess you're taking this more seriously than me. [:P]

I have no idea, but probably still pretty early.

X. I really like the idea but, to which case should *-kʷe attach? Locative and nominative both seem all right to me. Maybe we could try it on several to derive more than one new case...
Also, how will this interact with the suffixaufnahme that we considered? Will adjectives agree or be in the case it's derived from a la comitative in Estonian? I would prefer if only the noun inflected for the comitative and the adjectives followed and agreed only in number.

I agree that this would be a fun idea. Aside from the "Satana" stuff, it would be interesting to have them adopt and retain some religious/folkloric practices and beliefs native to the Caucasus.

Regarding Cyrillic, I'm not at all opposed to it in the long run, but isn't it a bit early for that at this stage?

51. b
52. b (though I would prefer the nominative)
53. c From *méntis. The language has a double ablative absolute construction like Latin. noun-ESS is thus historically noun-ABL mind-ABL.
In essence, "he barked like a dog" was "he barked with a dog as a mind". Yeah, I voted no to this for a reason.
54. b (What would an a imply?)
55. a

I thought pretty hard to come up with something I didn't particularly care for. Plus, it would mean having vestiges of a case we've lost, unless we make the same construction with, for example, the dative. I have voted against these new cases because I believe it would be easier for a collaboration to come up with new adpositions to replace any cases we may lose, rather than inventing new ones with all their quirks.

So far I'm impressed though, the vocative, ablative and instrumental are not that important; they were in fact often subject to syncretism in PIE. And our options for making a comitative seem much better than I imagined when I proposed it. Some ideas grow better in the minds they didn't arise in after all. [tick]

51. b
52. b
53. (Idov's suggestion)
54. a
55. d

I like the use of the ablative with Idov's suggestion. I think we should have some contracted form early on though before we evolve it. Like:

ḱunés mn̥téys > ḱunésmn̥tis >ḱunés(m/n/t)is
ḱunés mn̥téys > ḱunsmn̥téys > ḱuns(m/n/t)éys

Or something else. Would the plural be ḱunmós mn̥tímos, with both plural?
