This is the beginning of Skasti's verbal complex; these go before the root. Number: /a=/: SUBJ.PLR. /o=/: OBJ.PLR. /ẽ=/: DUAL.PLR. •/a/ works with transitive and intransitive verbs. •/o ẽ/ work with transitive verbs only. •these are clitics, thus cannot act without pronouns. Intransitive Pronouns: /...

Yes! /*sj *ʃj/ > /skw ʃkw/; ex. /*ʃjo:ɴ/ > /ʃkweã/ "honey." This makes sense? This might be my most controversial change, yet, in any project. Also, I am glad you followed my "mathematical" notations. I hoped them intuitive. That one... not so much. But I was saying in general. ...

I can't drop the full verbal complex, yet, but I can give a slice, the full modality slot. They come after the root. Those are impressive. Thank you, so much! In absolute truth, this is actually how I philosophically parcel out life. To me, these are how these actual concepts are broken down into t...

How do you mean? Like, the language evolution, you like my sound changes?

I did want it to feel kinda like Cherokee or Osage.

I finally have a script. It is an attempt at refurbishing an older attempt at a "featural" alphabet. /p/ <ɑ> /t/ <ı> /k/ <ɒ> /ʔ/ <°> /b/ <d> /d/ <l> /g/ <b> /t͡s/ <ɜ> /t͡ʃ/ <ɵ> /k͡x/ <ɛ> /d͡z/ <ə> /d͡ʒ/ <o> /ɡ͡ɣ/ <e> /s/ <ƨ> /ʃ/ <ɤ> /x/ <s> /z/ <a> /ʒ/ <ʊ> /ɣ/ <ɐ> /w/ <ɹ> /l/ <ɪ> /j/ <r> /...

Polysynthetic? Very cool. My current project is the same, phonetically based on Siouan, Muskogean, and Athabaskan. I never thought I would be able to do one. I feel like it is like a crown jewel amongst the community, seeming to be so different from the typical attempted project. Whether it is true ...

I haven't yet made any nasal vowels with nasal codas yet. But it's a good question. I did make the word /ɲŋ́/ - "to fall," and I will make others like it. Plus, in Hanoi Vietnamese, they have /ŋ͡m/ as a coda. The /tx txʰ/ is just a "let's make my language unique" thing, but I wa...

Do /tx/ and /txʰ/ appear in some natlang? Why not /kx/?

I don't know about clicks so I don't say anything about them.

/tx/ does appear in |Xam, but not its aspirate; I have never seen that phoneme.

Removed.

What are some mellifluous/beautiful/soft sounds or sound combinations for you? /kl/ reminds me of drops of water. /çʲ/ reminds me of shifting snow. How on earth do you palatalize /ç/?
