Re: What constitutes/is required for a complete grammar?

it is also important to remember that:
you don't need a complete grammar for a language to work perfectly...
just as linguistics is not necessary to speak a language,
nor to learn a language,
linguistics is not necessary to build a language...

Re: The clown cuts the tree with an axe

it is true, because the functioning of 3SDL is done in 5 layers: - at the lowest the operands, which allow to produce as strokes, the semantic primitives, - which will be the signs on the second step, - these signs assemble by simple contact to propose meanings, basically words of natural languages ...

Re: The clown cuts the tree with an axe

the meaning of each sign is indicated by a word in my back translation, even if each inscription in extended Latin doesn't fully respect the real idiograms and is only a theoretical representation of them... not all primitives are available, but that doesn't prevent from producing a theoretical asse...

Re: The clown cuts the tree with an axe

I don't quite understand your request, my translations are always followed by a gloss, even if it comes in the form of a back-translation for the reasons I'm not a linguist... I have never refused to answer anyone... I don't have the impression that the functiniong of 3SDL is less decipherable than ...

Re: Where do you live?

Please provide glossing that makes it possible for others to linguistically parse your translation. I haven't mastered the technique, and for a conlang(er) for whom only the semantics matter, it's much less useful than back translations... but you can probably produce one, based on these back trans...

Re: Etymology and Ithkuil

I don't know enough about ithkuil, but shifts in meaning that lead to an original etymology can only exist with intense use of the language, as is the case in natural languages, and I don't think we're there with ithkuil, as with the vast majority of conlangs, including those that do diachrony, but ...
