Word #105,000 was mephyer , meaning "regolith". Why did I translate this R-word when I was in the M's, you ask? Well, I needed a word for "moondust, lunar regolith". So I created this one as #105,000 and then added phodos (moon) to the beginning to make phodosmephyer for moondust...

Dugout canoe used in fishing in the lakes throughout the speaker's territory; Pond fauna being a major source of protein in their diet.

What a coincidence! I just added a word for "dugout canoe" to Kankonian yesterday! (The word is khouthra.)

As with anything, I hope to follow it to its natural conclusion. Whether I achieve that is the question.

Woo-hoo!


Shame that it goes extinct in the second half of the twentieth century, though.

Thanks. However, I meant how would all of you rank Kankonian on the famous 1-5 scale of difficulty for Anglophones? Also: neurodiversity. You have ADHD, I have OCD and synaesthesia. I would give it a 3. I wager any language that is kinda agglutinative is more akin to English. I saw a video where a ...

https://khemehekis.angelfire.com/basic.htm What do all you English-speakers think of my Kankonian? I like the use of the linguolabial trill. IIRC you started working on Kankonian in the late 90s.

What do all you English-speakers think of my Kankonian?

What would the Kankonians call monkey-foxes/yinrih? "Monkey-fox" would probably be expressed in Kankonian as zaturafiti ( zatura , monkey + fiti , fox). Then they could also borrow "yinrih" as yinrihh . Except the accent would be on the second syllable. HH is pronounced /ħ/. hmm...

I'm going to need help from someone who understands engineering. I came across the word "microplane" on the IGCE list. Wiktionary defines "microplane" as: (engineering) One of a set of microscopic planes, variously oriented, within a material, used in modelling stresses etc. Whi...

Ooh, that looks like a brilliant idea for a program!

A circumnavigator? Wow! Joining the ranks of David J. Peterson and Jeffrey Henning and Elemtilas . . .

What area is that? Ukraine itself?

Yes. Back then it was part of Russia, from what I understand.

Ha ha ha! How similar/how different will your metal conlang be from Klatx?
