Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
Sorry for the wait! Real life has kept me busy these past few weeks, and on top of that, I don't really have any properly developed romlangs to use in this thread. Here's what I've ended up throwing together:
Language: Generally Iberian
Word: cainlha netun
IPA: [ˈkãj̃ʎa neˈtũ]
Hopefully this is a suitable challenge - not too easy, not too hard.

Is the second (selection of letters after the space/) word a noun?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
The second word technically is a noun, although here it's acting more like an adjective.
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
Exciting!
Does the first word descend from a first-declension Classical Latin noun?
terram impūram incolāmus
hamteu un mont sug
let us live in a dirty world
hamteu un mont sug
let us live in a dirty world

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs 2
Did the first noun have three syllables (including the -a ending) in Classical Latin?

hamteu un mont sug
let us live in a dirty world
