The natural solution would be for one of us board members to make a new entry for "clongo" on Urban Dictionary. [:P]

I have a new undertaking with regards to Kankonian today. To find (and fill) gaps in the grammar and lexicon, I've decided to translate my Millennial rock musical The Bittersweet Generation (http://khemehekis.angelfire.com/bittersweetgen.pdf ) into Kankonian. My musical standing at 184 pages, this is quite the undertaking, but I feel Kankonian is robust enough to handle it.

I've already translated the beginning (everything before Act I, Scene 1 gets down to business). See http://khemehekis.angelfire.com/bittersweetgen.pdf for an English translation.

I agree, that's an awesome avatar. It even shows the order of strokes!

When Nakarian and Núta reach 100, be sure to post in this thread. Then we can have some e-cake.

WeepingElf wrote: 13 Jan 2018 21:51 I have discovered a new sound rule in Old Albic, the "phangcva rule". In Old Albic, there is a dissimilation rule affecting aspirated stops which resembles Grassmann's Law in Greek: of two aspirated stops, the first loses the aspiration. So /thakh/ becomes /takh/. But there is an exception: if the first aspirate is in free position (i.e., immediately before a vowel) and the second in a cluster (followed by a consonant), the second one is deaspirated. This happened in the word phangcva 'hand; five' for which this rule is named: /phaŋkhwa/ > /phaŋkwa/. (The word is a cognate of PIE *penkwe 'five'.)
Also neat when you bump it up aganist Oscan fangva 'tongue', and it's Aspiration Metathesis from PIE *dn̥ǵʰwā > Pre-Oscan *dʰn̥ǵwā.

I've picked up work on Keṭ Lixuem again, and in addition to shaking up the vowel diacritics (as discussed on the discord), I've also started making stative verbs, as well as a new dynamic root kom [kɒm] (pre-KL *taʔw-), with a kind of general meaning of "multiple individuals moving in different directions", with the following forms when combined with different theme suffixes:

kom-mu (with cislocative): "to gather, come together"
kom-pa (with translocative): "to spread out, scatter, disperse"
kom-mil (with vocal) : "to speak disjointedly, talk gibberish"

kikomalamilkiselakpuexpuos.

Apparently we have to make them stop talking nonsense.

I finished the basics for verbs in my language, giving them three conjugation classes: strong-no conjugation requires aux verbs for all forms; weak-conjugates to witness/nonwitness and present/future, but requires an aux verb(was) for past; and irregular-conjugates for past, present, and future, but not to evidential.
All verbs use the past tense of do to create a perfect, and past tense of was/did contraction to make past perfect.
Weak:
nala(want)
nale(present nonwitness)
nalal(present witness)
nalo(future nonwitness)
nali(future witness)

'ayat-nale (past nonwitness)
'ayat-nalal(past witness)

nay-nalo(Future perfect)
nay-nale(present perfect)
'aynay-nale(past perfect)

I tweaked Núta diachronics somewhat by deciding that Proto-Núta had a vowel inventory of /a i u ə/ instead of the standard five-vowel system I had originally envisaged. The schwa then goes on to elide or become either of /e o/ in Middle Núta according to a number of factors, including the following:

a) it becomes *e word-finally
b) it elides as much as possible in pre-tonic syllables
c) it becomes *e before a syllable with *a *u *wV in nucleus
d) it becomes *o before a syllable with *e *i *jV in nucleus.

*o becomes u in modern Núta, and the last two rules are therefore the basis for a neat e/u alternation in the modern language.

There are further complicating factors such as the sequences **jə **wə **əi **əu and I’m hoping to post the full thing in the Núta blog when I’m done, but I just felt the need to share this first.

I made a new sentence in Onschen which shows off some of its morphology and religious perspective of the Jars:

Picking up the mess that is my conlang after a few months hiatus. Put all my lexicon into a Dictionary made in LaTex, surprisingly easy, once you know how to do it that is.

I would really suggest you fiddle with those paragraphs a bit. Making the par-indent go away would make it look so much better. Here’s hoping you made a \dictentry command or something along those lines for easy editing (if you didn’t, that’s a habit you absolutely need to get into)
