In Arkasian too!

Making Arkasian From Start (the 4th time!) I had so many ideas that I realised that implementing these ideas in order is pointless, so I scrapped current iteration of Arkasian and created it 4th time. Around 20 last posts of this thread was about 3rd iteration. It was the compilation of best ideas ...

I have another problem. I'm making Arkasian from start and I have trouble with romanization. Below is my vowel inventory and already estabilished vowels (and 1 consonant): /j/ y /iː i~j̩ y ï ʉ/ ī ? ü ? u /eː e øː oː o/ ē e ö ó o /aː a ɐ/ ā a ä /ai̯ ei̯?/ ay ey?

A possible name for the language is Prīge ['pɾi:ʀɛ]. I could also call it Köšš. It's the name I have called many of my shot-living projects with. This lang could become the Köšš. But atm it does not have /ø/. Maybe rounded front vowels could be long /y:/ and /yˀy/ and short /ø/. In Arkasian it's th...

words are the maximum transcendence we can achieve, and yes they are the result of our perception, because perception is our only possible apprehension of the world... Your opinion is as true as opinion that words limit our worldview or opinion that we can gain serious knowledge with reason or faith.

Note that following categories is not mandatory you can ignore them if you want. I would, however, strongly recommend to follow the categories. Confining yourself to a subset of possible words (as extensive these categories may be) really helps thinking outside the box. And who knows, you might jus...

I have currently 108 pronouns in Arkasian, but only 66 of them are unique and remaining 42 are just other pronouns with a suffix. The question is: should I count the pronouns as lexical entries? If yes, what pronouns? [hr] There are 4 options: 1) Count ALL pronouns, including these with a suffix. 2...
