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'

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. I might just be overthinking stuff. My grammar incl...

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

If analytic means analytic and isolating here, I have to say that I do not know of a single language that has neither compounding, nor affixation, nor some kind of tonal/mutation morphology.
