I'm also interested. The premise is... peculiar.

After a 10-day break from conlanging, I'm now back in the swing of things and having quite a few ideas.

I'm working again on TLFKAT, a project I last worked on almost two years ago. I'm going over the phonology. This time I'm probably going to be adding ejectives, and instead I want to size down other aspects of the inventory. We'll see.

Lol. It's heartwarming that everyone* has their own way of pronouncing that. [<3]

Yeah, I always pronounce it with an extra "L." Sometimes I say Trufflecat in my head... I'm still not sure why the extra "L" though.

I made a phonological change to Shonkasika, differentiating series of identical vowels. This was always true for /i/ and /u/, but I added this for the other vowels. The result is sometimes a diphthong:

/ii/ > /je/
/uu/ > /wo/
/ee/ > /ej/
/oo/ > /ow/
/aa/ > /æa/
/ææ/ > /æa/
/øø/ > /øe/
/yy/ > /yo/

This changes two existing words:
*saamo > säamo noodle
*hinoo > hinóu respect

I added a vocative particle, tsau, used with the nominative case:
Deros tsau! O man!

I also added a particle (determiner, something else?), prau, used for exclamations (also used with the nominative case):
Deros prau! What a man!

The TLFKAT overhaul is well underway. It would seem I have some 80+ consonant segments.

Well, tickle me fat, I didn't quite anticipate that. [>_<]

Yeah! I finally started databasing up my lexicons like I've wanted to do for years now.

Nope. [B)]
I do databases for a living so making a custom one for my conlang is no biggie.

Meh. I'm not convinced by the article.
I've done plain text and spreadsheets and found them to be about the same.
Using a database lets me include as much information as I want and will make adding it to my website easier.

The article's focusing on something generic for many languages, anyway, not necessarily targeting a single one.

Well, I didn't mean to tell you not to use a database, but to consider the alternatives and their pros and cons.
