Oh, goodness. You do realize that lsd's "language" is just whatever he comes up with on the spot, and has little to no consistency instance-to-instance?

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: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I’m afraid my phonology is not super natural and I’ve done almost no proto-lang work, so I need some kind of historical justification for my weird phonology. Specifically, I have labialized consonants, but only on voiceless consonants that aren’t fricatives, and all labialized nasals & approxim...

Re: How do you format your dictionaries/grammars?
For Ởnh·Vú I just use a really long google doc that’s gotten so big it won’t open on my phone anymore and with the words randomly assorted as they were added. I should someday make something more systematic but the more words I add the harder it gets to organize I've fallen into that trap before, a...

Re: Recently-Learned New-to-You Word(s) in your Native Language(s)
I've heard the term "clonging" before, though maybe that just refers to conlanging itself. "Clonging" is indeed another word for "conlanging," and "clong," "conlang." I've not heard "clang" before, but it is an excellent meaning and word.

Re: What has been written must occur
The verb "brinkiandjya" (lit: to have to occur) is one of those often encountered "agglutinations on-the-fly" in Itlani. It is unlikely to appear in any dictionary. 3SDL works exclusively like this, with a feeling of extreme freedom, that of being, at every moment of elocution, ...
