Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
My conlang, Hi'im, just reached 50 words! 50th word is ten̆ /teŋ/, which means "world". Heh, I remember when I first saw the title of your Hi'im thread. I misread it as "Hi, I'm a conlang!" Surprised ten̆ is the fiftieth word and not the ten th word. Anyway, congratulations. It ...

Re: False friends and other unfortunate coincidences
Here's a completely coincidental conlang false friend. The word for "parents" in Kankonian is homoses . Presumably this is related to helemas (mother) and hoimas (father). That word has been in the language for decades. Its excerptal form, meaning "parent", is homoset , which mak...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
Just finished my long haul through the A-words in my friend's corpus. I ended up adding 1,582 new Kankonian words, as I went from having 87,780 to having 89,362. Definitely worth it.
Doing B-words should get me past the 90,000 mark!

Re: Katebá
Looks good so far. Reminds me of the indigenous tongues of Soith America.

Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Spiders, Vosem Chart users, pianists, and Thomas Jefferson rejoice: I have just reached word #88,888 in Kankonian! My word was shuyeslavambio , meaning "architexture". It comes from shuyes (across) and lavambio (work, as in a work of art), since an architexture is a theme that spans an art...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
To the first one, I will admit that it’d be a bit… interesting with the table setup I have currently, but it is possible to make the table set up clearer as to what meanings the Zareian words are used to convey, and thus allow for both ‘had’ and ‘sani’ to mean ‘be’. I don’t really know how to do so...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
What are the differences between sani and had ? Also, by the A in "ask", do you mean /a/, the vowel in the song "Alouette", halfway in between the A in "cat" and the A in "party"? There is no difference between sani and had . Thank you very much for pointing ...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Using a word gen, having troubles deciding what order of frequency my phonemes should be in. Learned that phoneme distributions tend to follow a Yule-Simon distribution pattern.

Re: Latin questions (Lingua latina)
EDIT: fwiw, I'm not sure whether we need a new thread every time somebody wants to complain about an argument they had on wikipedia or the like! The reason I created a new thread was because the primary purpose of my last post was to find out how to say "if there, not here" in Latin. You ...

Re: Latin questions (Lingua latina)
I am doing a write-up on a text on logical fallacies published in Ciladian in Ancient Ciladia (a country that once existed on Kankonia). There's one I'd like to give a Latin name to, in addition to its Ciladian name, but am not too sure about. This fallacy I want to call a Classical Latin translatio...

Re: The Sixth Conversation Thread
Well, I assume you mean that the different projects that you and I have worked on likely reflect our different preferences as conlangers. [:)] Not just preferences, but styles . For one example: when you created Hannaito words for last year's Lexember, one of the things I noticed was that every wor...
