Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

I'm tweaking Kastixex's 3rd person personal pronouns. For this latest draft... 3rd person animate M/F: based on OE personal pronouns for M/F 3rd person inanimate M/F: based on OE word for the/that with leveling by analogy 3rd person inanimate N: based on OE neuter person pronouns 3rd person animate ...

Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

I decided to make a small tweak to the phonology: /h/ will instead be /x/ and will be realized as [ç] syllable finally after a front vowel /i e/ and the cluster /xj/ is realized as [ç]. In a syllable onset before a vowel, it may be realized as [h] or [x]. Elsewhere, it is [x]. I have also worked a b...

Re: What did you accomplish today?

Just converted my Old English to Kastixex sound changes to a format readible by Lexurgy!

I appreciate and have used SCA2, but I like the options and power provided by Lexurgy.

Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

I tweaked the personal pronouns. The main changes being a bit of leveling due to analogy in the inanimate pronouns, changing the 3PL animate pronoun from hie to hi in the nominative/accusative form, and realizing that I hadn't run the forms of OE eall through my sound changes when making the alterna...

Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

I'm not ready for a full post on verbs yet, they are still very much a work in progress. I do have a number of ideas... Most of the contracted forms of the some 2sg and 3sg present indicative of some West Saxon verbs disappeared except for some common verbs Some new stem alternative arise from /i/ o...

Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

Het has developed into an animate pronoun, used for people, sentient beings, animals, deities, etc. belonging to the neuter grammatical gender. Tet is used for inanimate antecedents in the neuter grammatical gender, like plants, rocks, abstract ideas, things, etc. Interesting. So is there a signifi...

Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

A bit more on personal pronouns Kastixex includes a set of third person pronouns that are just for inanimate antecedents. https://i.imgur.com/I3e0ChP.png Also, Kastixex developed a couple of pairs of additional plural pronouns, made from suffixing -yalo (cf. OE eall ) or -odro (cf. OE óþer , cf. Sp...

Re: What did you accomplish today?

I started working on the Kastixex descendants of Old English strong verbs and...wow, so many decisions to make: how much mess to leave, how much to level by analogy and regularization...

Decisions, decisions.

Re: Iberian West Germanic / Kastixex - WIP

Looking forward to more of this! Only question I have so far is what you mean exactly by dun's dative singular form being dun(e). Thanks! When I wrote it, I wasn't sure if the -e would be there, as it would have been lost by sound changes. I have since decided that it will be dune with the -e added...

I think I'd go with <ch>, personally, but I don't mind <tx>.
I think I'm partial to <ch>, but Basque got me thinking about <tx> especially since I'm already using <x> for /ʃ/.

Working on my Iberian Anglian lang, Kastixex /ka'sti.ʃeʃ/ and I think I mostly have the sound changes from Old English down; I'm sure there will still be some tweaks.

Re: Yay or Nay?

Yes, this language has historically palatalized /k/ before front vowels. If I made the switch, I probably wouldn't use <ce ci>. Historically, some of those <ce ci> would be /t͡ʃe t͡ʃi/ while newer ones would be /θe θi/ (by way of /t͡se t͡si/) if that makes sense. Of course, I could respell one of t...

For my Iberian West Germanic/Anglian project, should /k/ remain <k> or be spelled <c> before /a o u/ and <qu> before /e i/ in keeping with what's common with the Romance languages in the Iberian peninsula (Spanish and Galician being top inspirations)? A few questions, for context: Has this language...
