Re: Clusters of Stops
Sometimes they can last a long time though. English and Spanish still have the [st] of PIE *h₂stḗr 'star' in star and estrella, and that'd be what, maybe 5000 years? And similarly, the cluster [nt] of PIE *h₁énteros 'inside' is still there in Spanish entrar 'to enter', Armenian ընդերք /ənˈdɛɾkʰ/ 'e...

Re: Clusters of Stops
Russian has /kt/ and /kp/ all over the place, just not in single written words Well admittedly my research on Russian was too quick, and needless to say I don't know Russian. Thank you for sharing this. Also, English has lots of words with /pt/ at the end: apt, concept, opt, adopt, corrupt, script,...

Clusters of Stops
I've wondered whether consonant clusters consisting of adjacent stops have some sort of universal linguistics behind them. I am certain that there are restrictions in a given language, and i could almost spot a pattern, but to do that on my own I'd need to be knowledgeable about the lexicons of quit...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Hi, again. Thank you for all the further input, I'm learning a lot through this discussion. So, first I want to say that through this new understanding I've decided that roots are no longer words on their own in most cases. I will, in my own writings, list roots that are also actual words as well am...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Well, first of all let me thank you for all your inputso far. I'd always wondered what kind of impression the insides of my conlang would make. The first thing I want to make clear is, that while this is a system, I'm not always using the affixes in predictable ways and it is supposed to be open to ...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
maybe i was too quick in my earlier post, but I already do have a list of derivational pre and suffixes. d͜ðes is a prefix that means "whatever is being put effort in for" of which I'm sometimes not sure what i was thinking when wrote that. On occasion I mix adjective and verb suffixes. My...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Hi, I've spent a lot of time working on my conlang's vocabulary lately. Formerly I had used a method that derived 6 rather specific words from one usually very general root word. Eventually I realized, that, with this method, there was going to be a lot of roots with meanings that would have to shar...

Re: The Cėlno Project
Hi, I think this forum is a place to stay, I like it here. [<3] I actually knew about the attitudes of the ancient Greeks, I just forgot to mention that in my last post. I often get a similarly self important impression of the Roman people, but I can't remember having read or heard any particular ev...

Re: The Cėlno Project
Hi, thanks for the welcoming attitude! [:D] I do have more, but since I do almost everything on paper I'll have to write it again digitally, for a post. The word for human is in my lexicon already as [ˈcʰʍyːɸ] (Human (Homo)), from the root [cʰʍy] (human existence, survival).. I use romanization only...

The Cėlno Project
This is my worldbuilding project, which encompasses about as much worldbuilding as it does conlanging. I've been working on it for about a year, developing parts of the world and even writing a story. The people who speak [cʰeɮ.mnɔɸ] ("Voice of Thought") are the [cʰeɮ.nɔ] ("Advancers&...
