No cultural conventions regarding bodily fluids have been developed yet, so 'toilet' is merely 'a place of urination' ( hmáycakan ) and 'paper' is 'cloth' ( qippi ). Thus 'toilet paper' is merely 'a cloth for a place of urination' ( hmaycakáṇqippi ). Rather than type of excreta as referent, one cou...

You know it! The lemons are waiting and the sugar is boughten!

I mean "on paper" metaphorically, so that can include computer screens. [:)] I'm just asking if anyone else ever tries to say the words and sentences they create? I don't mean that you necessarily have real-life conversations in your conlang, but whether you ever say anything you've created out lou...

So I don't forget, I learned about an imaginary animal that is said to live in the Alps and other French mountainous areas, called the dahu or dahut . It's distinguished by having one pair of legs shorter than the other, but on either the right or left side. This supposedly makes it easier for the ...

I just saw this on Because Science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdmODVYPDLA Reminds me of Elemtilas' use of Dwimmery in his conworld. Very interesting to see! Could give one a different source of (theoretically workable) ideas to approach the conjuration of a Turing Machine, and therefore compute...

Crazy smart fellow, that Dr. Ringe. I had the pleasure of taking a class under him in Ancient Greek Historical Grammar… oh, about 587 Trine ago…
Looks to be a juicy read!

Really, really, really REALLY would love for linguist & fantasy author Alan Garner to dig up and post some/all of his original notes on the Skeksish language on the 'Net. But, of course, great age, possible copyright infringements and/or lack of perceived public interest prolly prevent him. [:S] [:'...

The original movie, upon which "Age of Resistence" is based, was one of the major impulses that got me in...

[ Galaxy: baby shark (a trick answer: English 'galaxy' comes from the Greek word for a dogfish, a small shark*) You're talking about γαλεός , ¿? As another possibility, one could use the possibly related γαλέη 'weasel' (mustelid), and said a galaxy was something like an Ermine-Cloud . :wat:

I'm sure you have your own quick & dirty ways of finding the Greek antecedents of Spanish towns and cities, but if you can get your hands on this map supplement from Nat Geo (DEC 1982) - it had many many town names in Latin/Greek/Phoenician around the Mediterranean.
