An Experiment in Trivocalic ("Trivoc") Roots
A thought occurs. Now we get to play "How much of this will be recorded before I pass out and how much will be comprehensible". A tricon, but with vocalic roots and consonantal transfixes. This has undoubtedly been done before, but I thought of some ways I might handle it. This language is...

Probably won't get much worse than heavy rain, though. It had its flaws, yes, but to use it as a comparand to gauge how awful something is is to a) sell it short, or b) to disregard entirely the— Oh.

Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Kankonian is now officially #1. At 8:49 p.m., I added the word bakotzios , meaning "intrusiveness", to Kankonian. It wasn't a remarkable word; just the abstract noun suffix -os added onto the adjective bakotzi (intrusive). With this, Kankonian surpasses Mmavvii's 100,000 to become the lar...

Re: Weird Little Speedlang
As /-h/ is a valid coda…if you want to add a little unpredictability, you could pattern it with /-x/ in declension 2. Even if /-h/ is subsequently disallowed, you could have it have been present long enough to trigger assignment to declension 2, and only then drop (or do whatever vowel affectation y...

Re: Famous CBB Quotes Thread
My brain is obsessed with reanalyzing the word chimpanzee to a word that uses the suffix -ee meaning the patient of a verb. This would imply a transitive verb "to chimpanz", with chimpanzee meaning one who is chimpanzed. This further extends to a agentive noun chimpanzer, one who chimpanz...

The Tim Ar have a thirty-six-tone chromatic system (though your garden-variety diatonic scale only uses eighteen or so), while the Caber have a five...
