Re: What did you accomplish today?
Nice, indeed!I codified the medio-passive endings in Lihmelinyan. I've been avoiding even getting near the medio-passive voice, but it's time to put on the gloves and work on it :)
Singular: -her, -fer, -tar
Dual: -waza, -htā, -htē
Plural: -maza, -zwe, -rar
sándaher "I wash (myself), I am washed"
sándazwe "you are cleansed"
Now sándawaza : may it mean 'we washed ourselves' or also 'we washed each other' (¿?)
Will you be considering making some kind of Reciprocal pronoun like ἀλλήλων, a phrase like 'one another' or ἄλλος ἄλλον , or an adverb like misso
Or will you perhaps tweak the above verbal desinences for Reciprocity?
I'll try not to be too pushy ~

Re: What did you accomplish today?
Thanks guys
I haven't thought much about reciprocity yet, but I do think the middle, especially the middle dual, can be used in a reciprocal sense. My intent is to eventually have a reciprocal pronoun (which would be used with the middle voice and would avoid ambiguity), though I haven't created one yet.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I had a quick look. It's a good start! And don't worry about basing these folk on a real culture. Ultimately it's not what you copy from the primary world, but what you do with what you copy from the primary world that counts! So, you based the Mata on the Nivkh: take that as a basis and make it your own! Change some things, giving them your wicked little twists and incorporate your own ideas. That's where your creativity will shine.k1234567890y wrote: ↑04 Aug 2018 21:43 I worte something about the Mata people, the speakers of the Mayato language:

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I started a new conlang project called Culet...which is a verb-initial language with Austronesian alignment and Semitic root...
Also, Culet is geneologically related to Mayato MK2 and I plan to make the Cu people(speakers of Culet) the source of "civilization" and provided Mata people(speakers of Mayato) in the past and Mata people learnt writing from the Cu people, Cu people had complex societies muc earlier due to a more friendly climate of their homeland.
The climate of the homeland of the Mata people(Matamre) has a climate similar to Manchuria and Russian Far East; the climate of the homeland of the Cu people is more similar to the North China Plain and the Yangtze Plain of China.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I often find the answer to a conlang design question late at night while waiting to fall asleep. Last night, I got an idea of how tones work in Lo Dang, a monosyllabic, isolating and tonal IE language spoken in northwestern China. Lo Dang has six tones - low, high, falling, rising, falling-rising and rising-falling. These tones arise from up to three "tone components", associated with the onset, nucleus and coda. The syllable nucleus (the vowel) always contribute one, L or H, according to the ablaut grade it had in PIE: e-grade gives H, o-grade gives L. I don't know yet about zero grade, but it probably gives L, too. The onset contributes either L or H, or nothing. Likewise, the coda. The list of which onsets and codas give which tone components is yet to be determined. This results in 14 different possibilities of tone component strings, which give the six tones as follows:
L > low
H > high
LL > low
LH > rising
HL > falling
HH > high
LLL > low
LLH > rising
LHL > rising-falling
LHH > rising
HLL > falling
HLH > falling-rising
HHL > falling
HHH > high
L > low
H > high
LL > low
LH > rising
HL > falling
HH > high
LLL > low
LLH > rising
LHL > rising-falling
LHH > rising
HLL > falling
HLH > falling-rising
HHL > falling
HHH > high

Re: What did you accomplish today?
An idea for the zero grade: how about making it toneless. Tone languages often have toneless syllables that get their tone from somewhere else. You could argue that the zero grade gives you just the tonal combination of onset+coda then, or only one of them if the other one is missing. If there would be no tone at all in a syllable (you could add that as 0 to your list of possible tone component strings) the syllable gets the last tone component of the preceding syllable, i.e. low after low/falling/rising-falling and high after high/rising/falling-rising. Sequences of toneless syllables would get their tone from the preceding syllable, spread out over several otherwise toneless syllables. Initially these toneless syllables might get a default low tone. Just an idea on how to keep o-grade and zero-grade differentiated.

Thank you! That should work. As I see it, there are not many syllables that have zero grade but neither onset or coda.Creyeditor wrote: ↑06 Aug 2018 19:35 An idea for the zero grade: how about making it toneless.

Sounds like a cool project! Given the language's location, is there any close relation to Tocharian (apart from both being Indo-European)? What's the etymology of the language's name, if I might ask?WeepingElf wrote: ↑06 Aug 2018 19:03 Last night, I got an idea of how tones work in Lo Dang, a monosyllabic, isolating and tonal IE language spoken in northwestern China.
Re: What did you accomplish today?
I (Rodlox,Keenir) got a new CBB ID because I got locked out of my Hotmail last night
tried to work out how the Classical Greek words "nix" / "nyx" would evolve if given an island where they'dgo nuts from sheer isolation have the place to themselves for forever and all time (*g*)...thus far, its at [nytS] / [nAs] though I'm not wild about either.
