Re: Naming Practices

The Ruins Cats designate a word/sign as a name by adding a special name suffix "-mr" . Kittens are named at birth (if they die in infancy the name may be reused for a future litter). Sky-gender (firstborn-of-a-litter) cats are named after sky-associated nouns, such as types of weather, tre...

Re: Have you created any idioms in your conlangs? What are some examples?

I've got a bunch for various langs. Aeolian (spoken by bat-winged humanoids) has a bunch of flight-, wind-, air-related ones, e.g. wyshoi tjöraa riher "to dive [onto one] from far above" = "(of an event) to happen unexpectedly/out of the blue" Alsoran Common (far-future human spa...

Re: Anybody else working on conlangs with non-human phonologies?

My "humanoid" alien species Cave Angels can't breathe through their mouths (they breathe through spiracles at the base of the neck), so they produce airflow for vocal sounds using a bellows-like vocal sac that occupies the space where a human's nose and sinuses would be, and which has a sl...

Re: CBB Conlang Relay XVI (DONE!)

Hold on, what's up with all the octal numeral systems in this relay? There seem to be at least three. Bodin is base 16 so does it count as two more octal systems? :D also on the topic of changing timeframes, the reason the Bodin torch changed the preceding "6 years" and "8 years"...

Re: CBB Conlang Relay XVI (DONE!)

Also would love to know the origin/context of banana** in Ring 2. Here, have the notes to which those asterisks in the Bodin-English translation correspond: * I translate the Bodin third person animate singular pronoun, which doesn't distinguish gender, as ey/em/eir/eirs/emself in English. ** This ...

help with backderiving a protolang?

I have one fairly well developed a priori conlang for my conworld, and a couple others in the same family for which I basically have a phonology, a grammar sketch and a few words. My goal is to figure out the protolang from which these would all have evolved, basically "what were the original c...
