What about the fact that this "epenthetic" vowel is stressed?Xonen wrote:Although in Russian, from a synchronic point of view at least, it could be argued that the stem of the word is actually zamk-, and the -o- that gets added in the nominative singular is epenthetic.

Not sure if this belongs here, but...
Can anyone point me to some books about the history of writing? Preferably not something heavily academic, more in a spirit of popular science.

Look at Germanic and Uralic languages for examples.

Re: Menlish, the language of MEN!
Can we have more rhotic sounds, like [ɹ], [ɻ], [r], [ɾ], [ʀ] and [ʁ]? Also, rhotics could be syllabic.

Re: How natlangs look in the future!
All verbs in Ivrit use the א aleph to mark the FUT.1SG like the quote upstairs? Is א used to mark any other future numbers/persons/genders? Yes, yes it does. However, it is a tricky way to describe it. Aleph itself is not pronounced anymore in modern Hebrew, and in writing it acts more like vowel-b...

Re: How natlangs look in the future!
I have some predictions about the future of Colloquial Hebrew: The sound [h] (I am not sure if it could be called a phoneme anymore) will finally disappear; today it is hardly used anyway. The future 1PS marker will change from the today correct א to more commonly used י: ani y ileḥ instead of ani e...

I don't like the sound of Arabic. I hear it all the time, and no matter who's the speaker and what they speak about, it just sounds awful. Yep. I used to hate French, but I've learned to tolerate it. I still think it's probably the most overrated language on the planet , though. [+1] And German is t...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Any one know a good way to write a language with palatalization using the roman alphabet? It also has the semivowel [j] that I already write as /j/ Whenever I encounter problems such as this, I look for inspiration in languages that have the same features. So, palatalisation? There's Polish , Czech...
