Oooh, that's a great idea. Let a large number of flellyfish float over to your enemies castle/base camp and then light them with a burning arrow/bullet?

Why do cows not explode?
Maybe it should be something akin to hot nitrogen instead of hot air? Or hot airvwithout anything akin to oxygen?
This reminds me of an element on Fredauon: phlogiston. Maybe that could help?

Fredauon Fun Fact #23: Floating Jellyfish (or Flellyfish) are another peculiar part of Fredauon fauna. Their digestion produces a mixture that includes hot air and methane (provided by bacteria) in a enlarged gastric pocket, which allows them to float into the air and prey on small bats, flying fis...

I like the three melody inventory. It gives a nice pitch-accent like touch.

I got the idea from tvtropes: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ ... geMorality.

Fredauon Fun Fact #22: At the height of the Space Age on Fredauon, the following space-faring species/civilizations are known: the humans from Fredauon, the Beep (also known as The Green), short three-eyed humanoids who use their skin for photosynthesis and live on a planet in a neighbouring solar ...

Nice tone section. I think the melody mapping and the melody inventory is very naturalistic. I also like the low raising at the word level and the word-final low boundary tone. I was wondering if similar stuff happens across word boundaries or at the end of a phrase. Your tone dissimilations are a b...

Fredauon Fun Fact #21: A curious part of Fredauon fauna are the so-called land sponges, a species of sponge that resembles certain fungi in their outer appearance. They occur in areas that have both high humidity as well as lots of wind. They consist of several sticky interconnected tube-like struc...

Both, I would say.

I don't think it's actually all that common for polysynthetic languages to have noun classes; they're characteristic of dependent-marking languages, while polysynthetic languages tend to be strongly head-marking. But as Bininj-gun-Wok shows, it's still possible. But Bantu languages have noun classe...

Also, tone melodies are part of a relatively abstract analysis and not easily comparable across languages.

In terms of strict universals, the answer is probably no. You could check WALS for tendencies. Diachronically, the shortening of words (by vowel elision etc) often leads to contours or floating tones. The same processes often lead to a loss of affixes. This could lead to complex tone systems being m...

Fredauon Fun Fact #20:
The Other Continent (known locally as Moab or Woab) is famous on Fredauon for volcanos, fjords, thunderstorms, and the preponderance of sign languages.

Yes, I would say so. There are maybe some be yew-apples and ginkgo-pears and almost definitely cycad-pineapples. I should really do an AI generated picture of woolly penguin herders eating yew apples.

Does the subject agreement distinguish person and number? If yes, your system sounds very naturalistic. There is a strong tendency in the languages of the world for object agreement to encode less distinctions if subject and object agreement differ in the number of distinction they make.

That sounds like a good idea.

Fredauon Fun Fact #19: There are no fruits, as we know them, on Fredauon. Instead, various kinds of edible pseudo-fruits developed from different kinds of fleshy seed coats, i.e. arils in e.g. yews (Taxus), yellowwoods (Afrocarpus), joint-firs (Ephedra), plum pines (Podocarpus), plum yews (Cephalot...

Why wouldn't this be 'I snored at/to him'?

Well, the moved/moving thing (as well as the bringer) should be oblique and the goal should be allative, right?
