Re: The CBB Makes a Conworld
I am bad at maps but I would like to request an oasis close to some caves in a desert that is mountaneous but reasonably close to some potentially urban area.

Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax
These (nominal forns) are often called relational nouns. Indonesian has them (very productively and regularly):
di mobil
at car
'in/at/on/by/ the car'
di dalam mobil
at inside car
'in the car'
di atas mobil
at top car
'on (top of) the car'
di mobil
at car
'in/at/on/by/ the car'
di dalam mobil
at inside car
'in the car'
di atas mobil
at top car
'on (top of) the car'

Re: What constitutes/is required for a complete grammar?
My Kobardon grammar has 43.5 pages, my word list has 15 pages. There are still gaps and I feel like I need to coin new words and make new decisions about the grammar everytime I translate a new sentence. Other people seem to have less of a problem.

Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax
I always wanted to include an irrealis article in some conlang. It apparently exists in some natlangs, including Biak, where it is used in the scope of negation, e.g. "I never saw [a boat] here." and in hypotheticals, e.g. "If I had [an apple], I wouldn't be hungry."

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
