Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Kankonian is now officially #1. At 8:49 p.m., I added the word bakotzios , meaning "intrusiveness", to Kankonian. It wasn't a remarkable word; just the abstract noun suffix -os added onto the adjective bakotzi (intrusive). With this, Kankonian surpasses Mmavvii's 100,000 to become the lar...

Re: Arayaz's thread so that she doesn't flood the forum [comments encouraged!]
Coda /b s k/ → high tone on previous vowel At which point does it become sound change and not just allophony? Because all of /ab as ak/ would be [á], right? Sound changes are what causes allophony though. It just takes more changes to make the changes phonemic. Yes, I just wonder if it makes sense ...

Re: The Multiverse Inn
The tears of Argenzu and Cynewulf have dried. The latter clears his throat: “Oh my – the visitors become more more outlandish with every passing hour!” The former chuckles: “I wouldn't touch the anti-matter presence, Doug.” Cynewulf turns to Argenzu: “There's a little surprise in the trunk of my ca...

Re: The Multiverse Inn
Cynewulf, still shirtless, walks up to Doug, crouches down and bends only a step in front of him, to make him uncomfortable on purpose: “Your adult adopted son”, he points at Sherman, “is of more temperance than you. Is this how a father acts as a role model?” He is shaking, and speaks as if he con...

Sorry, I don't want to interrupt— but... you guys know where Terra is? Are you from a world where it hasn't fallen? Argenzu lowers his laptop's screen again: “Earth – fallen?

(sorry, I missed so much) Maria sits in a corner, sipping from their small, translucent bottle, and listening to the yinrih, Cynewulf, and Argenzu's conversation.

Re: The Multiverse Inn
A shimmering tunnel of light opens at the far end of the room. A vaguely insectoid winged creature, around 2 feet tall, exits it and looks around in confusion. I see you, strangers. My name is Iovan Maria Etiam. This is... not what I was told I would see? Where did the aetheric circle take me? The ...

Of course it is. That's why I like its inclusion. Polish is much more conplicated with its nasal vowels though, right? And Does French really do this? I have never come across it until I had a Hocank course. Depending on how you analyse Polish, it either has nasal vowels that are realized as Vm/n/ɲ...
