I usually use google docs for Daas, but that cell reference point is a really great idea, so iḿ starting a new conlang using Sheets.

Maria gasps and instinctively jumps two metres up. What is this? Is this... magic? The stranger sees and floats a light ball around Maria's head. "Do you find it interesting? I do too, since it feels weird to move the light around when I'm not part of the Light Tribe." ((The Multiverse In...

"I guess I'll have a bowl of bone broth." The stranger smiles, then lets the oversaturated wings dissipate. If a chair is nearby, they sit in it. Sherman comes up and introduces himself. "Hello, my name's Sherman. I couldn't help noticing you have six fingers. My dad has six fingers ...

He holds up his hands, with a smile. "And you are not a god?? Amazing!" Then he remembers something. "Right, my chief tess. The drinks. I'm going to get them now. Any last requests? And anyone else?" ((Sorry to heckle you, Arayaz and TBPO)) "I guess I'll have a bowl of bone...

There are two magic systems in Akatennaji: Ko and Faith-based. I'll just stick to Ko for now. Ko Ko is a form of particulate energy found within sentient beings' souls. It is often produced after a stressful situation to help the body heal, but during that situation, it is suppressed. You can still ...

"You. You are my cheiftess. You rule things. You are a god." The stranger smiles a strangely prideful smile. "Yes, someone finally understands... However, my conscience tells me to explain to you." The stranger folds their arms. Their hands have six fingers. "In a literal s...

The stranger looks confused.
"Chieftess? What's that?"

The stranger watches, mildly interested.

(Regarding all previously mentioned tech and systems)
"Huh. That's interesting technology... Where I'm from, we aren't allowed to create new... technological pieces... so to invent things we have to attach old things together."

The stranger blinks, watching this all go on in amazement.
"Je wo...?" they say, rather quietly. They seem piewhacked.

The stranger greets Cynewulf. "Hello. I have no idea how I got here. I was trying to access my kitchen when I tripped, fell slightly to the left, and..." something called a noosphere The stranger's interest looks piqued. "Do they use it to gain information? Or is it just a subconsciou...

"Sorry, uh, again," Sherman says sheepishly. "This is a lot for him to take in. This is the sort of thing that would make a human faint, but yinrih can't loose consciousness, so when overstimulated they just sort of retreat to a quiet place to... reboot." "Ah. I apologize.&...

A door appears on a wall, and someone with strange glowing shapes around them walks through. They close the door, and suddenly the door is gone. No fancy effects, no noises, it just... leaves.
The glowing shapes are overly bright, and the person's face is obscured.

"..."

Oo'doko Uee wo? He ne'do lau aa'dao.

The deity of the sea? Sounds threateningly beautiful.

They're back!!! (( [:D] )) "...Other effects?" I ask with some concern. "The book just ends there." Pancake points to a symbol on the end of the page, flips the page, and guestures to the blank pages. Theres no writing. At all. "Hopefully its not a bad effect. Well, effects...

Ai continues to translate.
"Humans' Ko usually does not exit the body, however, so seeing a human using Ko might have other effects."

Wander off?
Do something else?
(Sorry about the crazy hiatus)

I have an idea I've been entertaining for awhile, based on the Nahuatl saltillo, but I am not sure if I am understanding it correctly. The idea is that some open syllables end with an allophonic glottal stop, let's say, when they occur as the final syllable of a morpheme. Is this plausible? Could y...
