Can the doctor say that in such a way as to make it clear that digitalis is not to be used by non-sufferers, or those who may suffer but not from dropsy? By adding yn, the shortened form of "no," they can make the sentence negative, but I don't have a word for non-sufferer. I would sugges...

I agree with Micamo. Words can mean a variety of things, from sinister Keebler elves to the Silmarillion's protagonists.

I had just finished a part of Hamlet translation when my computer corrupted my 700-word dictionary. Very upset. Will post translation later.

Just hit 500 with the word renedíl, meaning belief.

EDIT: I suppose this is as good a place to ask as any: What exactly is the appeal of fish and frogs as pets? You can't snuggle with them or play with them, you just watch them. Not the person you intended to ask, but humans have gerbils, parakeets, snakes, and iguanas as pets sometimes. From my exp...

Well, as you said earlier, enough moral semantics on this thread already; in fact, enough morality on this thread. Let's just talk about Thkybbethic. If Thkybbethic lacks the capacity to express moral judgement (or can only express them through some kind circumlocution), this would be an essential ...

"Green" and "blue" would normally not be regarded as evaluative adjectives. I think the turning point in the discussion was when you said that you "only have the "good (according to me)" version of the adjective". If I have got the things right, it seems like...

Most philosophers, on both sides, seem to agree that it is possible to disagree in evaluative judgement. That is, if two people make opposing evaluative judgements, they genuinely disagree. I'm not sure if I know about any moral philosopher who would analyse their disagreement as "well, they j...

Digitalis is good only for patients suffering from dropsy. It's bad for everyone else. If the patient is the one picking up the medicine, how does the doctor tell the patient "this is good for you, but it would be bad for your children, so keep it where they can't reach it"? If someone el...

If you language was a standard conlang instead of an artlang, I would criticize your alphabet for being too similar to realistic alphabets. But since it isn't, I would like to say that I liked it! It does resemble Hebrew-Cyrillic. I say you hit the nail on the head with your alphabet! I would love ...

Why do you have the two kinds of adjective you have? Why are certain features (shape, size, colour) considered to be "facts", while other (values etc.) are considered to be "opinions"? But "good" and "bad" might have person-deixis versions; "good (accord...

Why do you have the two kinds of adjective you have? Why are certain features (shape, size, colour) considered to be "facts", while other (values etc.) are considered to be "opinions"? Could it have to do with evidentiality? Maybe, "fact-adjectives" refer to attributes...

Is every adjective inherently either "definite" or "ambiguous"? Or can some adjectives be either definite or ambiguous, with slightly different meanings, depending on circumstances? It could be hard to draw a clear line between on the one hand evaluative, and on the other hand d...

Here are the phonetic charts as to what sounds are used. I have also included the letter that they are represented by. http://i56.tinypic.com/w9gxnb.jpg Thybbethic is the language for the continent of Ðybberoð-Dür, part of the Human Realm (named Téseros). It is mainly a descendant of Middle and Old ...

Maybe you could share some information on the board as opposed to just links. Like give some examples, a phonological overview, maybe some samples? Sure! I just thought it might be repetitive since I have everything that I've written down on those links. Let me try to convert the phonetic chart (it...
