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

Re: What did you accomplish today?
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.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
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.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
Also neat when you bump it up aganist Oscan fangva 'tongue', and it's Aspiration Metathesis from PIE *dn̥ǵʰwā > Pre-Oscan *dʰn̥ǵwā.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'.)

Re: What did you accomplish today?
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.
[kekɒmalamelkesʲɤlakpɯəxpuɵsʲ]
<ik>kom-al-a-mil-ki-sel(a)k-puex-puos
<PRF>kom-REP-ANI-VOC-CAUS-CESS-NEC-1PAUC
Apparently we have to make them stop talking nonsense.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
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)

Re: What did you accomplish today?
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.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
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.
A signature.
Re: What did you accomplish today?
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)jimydog000 wrote: ↑20 Jan 2018 08:29 Picking up the mess that is my conlang after a few months hiatus.
