Re: Your favorite major, published con-stuff?

Dammit, everyone, stop being so laconic! Don't just say what your favorite stuff is; tell us why . Nobody else (certainly not me) is gonna Google the authors and works you mention and spend hours reading about them to try and approximate at why they're your favorite, but they (and particularly, I) ...

Re: Favorite Phoneme!

My favorite phoneme is /r/ (or any rhotic really). Why? Because every "rich" and "Attractive word I use has /r/ in it.

Re: Proto-Elezaic Development Thread

If I were you I would represent the palatalized consonants as <Cj> rather than C + superscript <j>. I'll look the rest over when I have more time. Please excuse my late response. The palatal stops are marked with the superscript to differentiate them from coronal stops that were followed by an /j/-...

Here's the first two paragraphs of a short story I'm working on.

Re: What did you accomplish today?

Just started on syntax and got a faint idea for what kind of relativization I want to do. Also realized that my positions are shit, so back to the drawing board on those. Frankly, it's going well.

Re: Proto-Elezaic Development Thread

Now, after a little delay, morphological notes! Constructive criticism and error-spotting is still wanted and highly appreciated. Right now I'll post nouns, adjectives, and verbs; I'll get the rest up when its more fine-tuned. Nouns Have no true case Are inherently singular; inflect for the plural <...

I'm quite fond of OSC's cultures through ought the memory of Earth series. Their culture seemed interesting and the devotion towards the layout and behavior of the city and its denizens made me even more fascinated.

If you'd like to have all unrounded vowels (I have a few lang like that), I suggest changing /y/ to /1/. Also, nice use of the X-SAMPA! and that's exactly what I will due!

Re: Reduplication Survey

im probably gonna use duplication in my conlang. It will most likely occur during the conjugation/declension of nouns and verbs (maybe adjectives.) most likely it will happen along the lines of PIE; that is to say, the first consonant and the vowel will be reduplicated; might get mixed up.

Re: Elves other than "humans, only awesomer."

the only race that I've created so far that would fit the modern description of "Elf" (i.e. humans but awesomer) are not Elves at all, in the biological sense. They are called the Aynelim and they can be summarized as winged-tech-mages; however, this description doesn't do them justice. Th...

Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax

I came up with idea for a complex system of gender that was mainly inspired by Navajo and Swahili. Basically nouns are separated into classes based of a spectrum of "willpower," that is to say separated based on their level of control over their own nature. They are as follows: 1) total wi...
