Each partner will have appointed a friend of hers as miko, or bride's lieutenant. The two miko will assist their principals in the ceremony and do a lot of the organising of the wedding. Is it by any chance related to the Shinto miko? No, in fact it isn't. Unfortunately, there's no in-universe back...

About the hierarchy: Is it Rational > Feminine > Masculine > Inanimate, or is it Rational > Masculine > Feminine > Inanimate? I ask because it would seem that if "Masculine" is quasi- or semi- -synonymous with "aggressive", "masculine" animals are likelier to be agents...

.... When the planets seemed like lights in the sky that would move, apparently of their own volition, they were thought to be gods or spirits.

.... Third person has separate forms for each of the four genders ( rational , feminine , masculine , and inanimate ). .... Normally the "rational" gender consists of beings who can use language. It's used to distinguish healthy adult humans from, mostly, babies and infants. Deaf-mutes, i...

I suppose the people didn't have those words either, if they were missing from the language, but still. I've thought about that from time to time: what do they do when you haven't invented a word for them yet? What would they say? That is, do the :con: folk we create already speak the language in i...

I have proximal/distal distinction in the first and second persons as well as the third. These are mainly literary devices that allow authors to distance their egos from their work and to address readers in a more generic fashion. That sounds like a neat idea. Third person has separate forms for ea...

The personal pronouns of Rireinutire are perfectly simple and straightforward, for the most part. There are three persons (first, second, and third). First person refers to a group including the speaker, second person to a group including the listener but not the speaker, and third person to a group...

I wonder when people will get bored of that joke. Funny thing is, the word tacos just came to my head and I didn't realize the similarity until someone else pointed it out. I've dated guys like that. *shudder* ... you know the type, hands everywhere, like a tako ? Octopus? Anyway, it's not my fault...

Until today, Rireinutire did not have 'next' or 'previous'. Or 'society'.

Edit: Corrected name of language. I suppose the people didn't have those words either, if they were missing from the language, but still.

Nokia. Sorry 'bout that.

But honestly, I actually really like the open back unrounded vowel [ɑ]. Simple tastes for simple people. :)

Planning? No. I use a number of existing languages and shift the spelling as and when I see fit. I can tell this isn't really within the philosophy of "proper" conlanging I do that sometimes, too. Like the word for apple (Linka) was ripped from Japanese (リンゴ: Ringo) and changed around a b...
