No, it shouldn't. That would mean "I castrate vegetation".
Why didn’t they teach me that essential phrase in school?

Thanks. Order is important as well, but number agreement is definitely the main disambiguating factor.

The Abaniscena do not have the human concept of gender, so I'm going to use cielnas , meaning 'human'. They would probably borrow nouns for human gender from Latin, but these would be very specialised vocabulary. ischola i cheviar i iashi i cielnaresnemor school that happy that small that human<O>-P...

Fredauon Fun Fact #55: The creation story of the Wizard religion describes how knowledge came about and how it was lost again. In the beginning, Nempridandon, the sun godess was lonely. So she created Uurkfredakon, the god of fire, as her opposite. Together the two created five children and put the...

yes

Responding to 11-year posts like that is usually considered bad practice, and is probably pointless, as threecat has been inactive for 6 years now.

Nie, jestem A merykaninem — ale moja b abcia była z gmin y Lubomi a . Tylko trochę mówię po polsku, ale chcę ( chciałbym ) się ( na )uczyć. You would use the genitive with z , and the second part of gmina Lubomia doesn't decline. Also, putting trochę at the end feels a little weird :) The correctio...

You can do whatever you want, after all, it's your conlang. And since we're talking about a fictional group of isolated Slavic languages, patterns and rules seen in real-world Slavic langs may or may not apply. Fix your quotes, please. Thanks, and just one more thing: since im going with realism in...

Being isolated from the group means not being influenced by the group, so the changes would surely be different. I wouldn't say random though, sound changes always happen in a context. For example, an isolated group of Northern Slavic languages might not undergo the same processes of palatalisation...

It's not like Proto-Slavic only existed at a single point in time. The late period of PSl, also called Common Slavic, is the one you'd usually see in reconstructions. The English Wikipedia has a lot on the history of Slavic languages so I'd recommend starting there, and looking at the various sound...

Adding some favourable songs from this genre/time period. Edward Macdowell - Summer Song (piano) Soichi Konagaya - Lamentoso (baritone horn) Erik Satie - Gnossienne No. 1 (acoustic guitar) Ooh, I love Satie. Certainly hadn't heard any of his pieces on guitar before though! This is a performance of ...

It depends on when your language became so isolated and "split off" from the rest of Indo-European. If it's part of the Slavic branch - or maybe the Balto-Slavic branch if you want it to be more distinct - it presumably happened somewhere between 1500-500 BC. Some changes you'd probably w...

/n/ has already been added by lurker.
I nominate /ɴ/, so that we have the full house of uvulars.

I'm not actually using Abaniscen — it's uhhh Unnamed Lexemberrelaylang, which I'll christen Errəláy so you can put a real name in the first post.

A lot's happening this week for me, sorry that it's taking so long. I hope I can finish it this weekend.
