Re: Community Indo-European Subfamily
Surprised no one mentioned that we did have a project like this and it just sorta evaporated as it reached a natural conclusion Well, if I were around seven years ago I would've been part of that.

I find it interesting how this time, a lot of the changes in Ring 2 originate in some translational choice in HTAP. "A man wanders with misfortune for seventy-two months." ← "There once was a man who was a father of six" ← ❬Phyün1 thwá1 ges1 ha phyò2 ár3, hèm4ma1 tray3❭ "The...

I think ManInSpace literally “passed” ie, sent the torch that Dzêta sent him, directly to loglorn, skipping him.

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I pretty consistently vocalize coda-l, but usually this happens after the l has affected the vowel behind it, so /gol/ -> [kɔ] 'goal' but /go/ -> [kəʊ] 'go' , /wʊlf/ -> [wof] /wʊf/-> [wʊf], but I know that doesn't happen on everyone, because I have heard 'wooves' for wolves (East Coast, NJ). My gues...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Hi, I have a question about a feature in one of my conlangs. This language has two separate genitive cases; one which is used when the possessee is masculine, and one which is used when the possessee is feminine. The thing is, I am almost certain this is ANADEW and I have been looking online for si...

Nice to see such a detailed representation of the sound changes. Sorry for not making another guess on it. There's another challenge on the original thread, by the way. <malsouu> definitely comes from the black group, probably most directly related to *mʲɛɬohu. Yeah, it's definitely black group, bu...

qwed117, if I might ask, was the absence of feedback on these two parts of my last attempt purposeful? Sorry for the really late reply, real life hit like a brick.

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
How come in so many countries around the world, their stop signs say "stop", borrowed from English (I've seen it rendered into Cyrillic and Greek as well)? Has this always been the case, was it a later adoption, at what point was the word "stop" borrowed from English into so man...

Re: Peripheral Euro features
The languages that I refer to "doing this" and "not doing this" is the more strict hab- [suffix] + verb + -[coronal obstruent], which German and Dutch do not do. Dutch has a circumfix ge- -t, and German has -t. French eroded the coronals in the suffixes to the point where it's j...
