Apparently, we surpassed that yesterday at 16:29 UTC. By a good bit, as well.

Re: Kalennian translation exercises

I am indeed 14, though I often don't feel it. Flavia's a little older than I, if I recall correctly.

TBPO being 14 does not surprise me. When is your birthday? I would wonder which of us is older.

Seems I sparked something of a trend regarding thread names. Perhaps not a legacy I sought, but I'll take whichever falls.

Please provide glossing that makes it possible for others to linguistically parse your translation.
Don't bother. It's been this way since the dawn of time.

Re: What is this phonenom called.

I honestly am skeptical of phonaesthemes. I think half of it is because the words are related in some capacity, and half of it is cherrypicking. I should correct myself. It's true that similarities in words can cause their meanings to drift closer together: gl- in English is a pretty notable case, ...

Re: The CBB Makes a conlang

Why don't we suggest some example proto-forms and see what arises? From there we could get ideas about our grammar and lexicon. *itag̟uː becomes ətʃə, or ətəʒə depending how the stress is. *araːis̠ becomes ʁaəɬ, or əʁaəɬ depending how the stress is. *paŋ̠x̠iː becomes fɴ̩h̪͆i, or fəɴh̪͆i depending ho...

Probably. I could see something like /tt/ → /ht/ → /xt/ → /tˠ/ if you want a roundabout route, but I feel like it could happen all at once too.
