Re: What did you accomplish today?
I've changed the orthography of my conlang Yélian and fixed an issue.
Before the change, it was not possible to differ between piya ['pi:ʃa], kitchen, and piya ['paia], to call. You see, while it's written the same, it's differently spoken, which I wanted to prohibit in my conlang.
It's because IY is normally an own letter which is spoken [ai], but sometimes an I meets a Y where's no connection between them, so this would be spoken [iʃ].
Now it's clear at all:
I've implemented the point as it's used in Catalán. When an I meets a Y, one puts this point between them to betoken that it's spoken as two different letters. It's also used when an I hits a vowel, because then I would change from to [j].
So kitchen now means pi∙ya. Other examples: i∙yi ['ɪʃi:], child, ti∙ema [ti'ema], to please, like

Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
I have decided to stop ignoring Pazmat's sister-lang Qulshni and its cousin-langs Sefir and Jawans and have worked a little on them. Deriving multiple languages from one proto-language is FUN. Especially when you get such different-looking reflexes:
Proto Pasuu *ⁿdʲwēpeⁿda "I am kicking" >
Pazmat jwīpena
Qulshni jwipida
Sefir ñwefana
Jawans dwēfena
Proto-Pasuu ⁿdogʰakʲbʰa "We throw sand (at s.one's eyes)">
Pazmat noxaśva
Qulshni doghabha
Sefir nagakpa
Jawans nagakka
There's something spellbinding about taking a proto-lang and making a whole bunch of languages from it.

Your langs are getting better every time, Chagen. Pazmat is impressive, and what I find even more impressive is the amount of conlanging you manage to do.
I would say "Keep it up!", but I don't think there's any need.
Re: What did you accomplish today?
Thanks guys!
Though I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't comment on the fact that Proto-Pasuu and all 4 of those daughterlangs have a specific mono-syllabic verbal root meaning "to blind someone by throwing sand in their eyes"

Well, when you live in what is basically the Middle East (the Urheimat of the Proto-Pasuu exists in a sandy desert area much like Saudi Arabia), sand is quite plentiful.

Re: What did you accomplish today?
Hmm, in my conworld, Vṛḵaẕ is a large country that is mostly desert (of Saharan size), but at the very north there is a very large mountain (ǦBḴH-HW YT-ʾLŠRDY Ǧbūḵa-hū Yat-ʾAlšardī) which makes the other side extremely cold; enough that snow appears on the ground and blizzards are seasonal. One of my main characters in a novel-I-have-been-claiming-to-write-but-never-bothered-to-start lives in that north region.Chagen wrote:Well, when you live in what is basically the Middle East (the Urheimat of the Proto-Pasuu exists in a sandy desert area much like Saudi Arabia), sand is quite plentiful.
I want a verb root for blinding by throwing sand too, but I don't know what proto-root it would come from...

Re: What did you accomplish today?
Made a tongue twister sorta by accident with inspiration from Shemtov's Parseltongue thread:
Śasiiśaśiitët.
Śasii-śaśiit-at
to_slither-snake-to_do.GNOM
/ʃɑ.siː.ʃɑ.ʃiːt.ət/
Snakes slither.
Also, I've figured out that the best description so far for the function of <-at> is as conveying a gnomic "aspect" (I use quotes here, because, well, I'm not sure precisely if it better fits as a tense or aspect). This makes it much easier to wrap my head around too, since the idea of having a "stative" morpheme seemed weird to me, in that the stative/dynamic dichotomy is based on the verb's function, not so much on something that can shift from one utterance to another.

1) Is there some sort of cultural significance about "blinding with sand" that the Proto-Pasuu passed on to the daughter-cultures?
2) Is throwing sand in someone's eyes an act of punishment, like ostracizing, scapegoating, stoning?
3) Are the sanded parties held down and continuously sanded by one or more people, or does it just happen once by one person?
4a) Is it a sign/harbinger of good luck (like throwing salt over the shoulder)?
4b) Is there some kind of ritual formula/prayer/naughty limerick spoken/intoned/chanted/sung/whispered while sanding someone?
5) Is this some kind of cultural metaphor?
6) What kind of sand are we talking about here, anyway?
7) What if I dreamt I threw sand in someone's eyes? Would these cultures assign a special significance to that dream?
8) What if I threw sand down their shorts? What then?
Re: What did you accomplish today?
I will encorporate sand in my culture, but it has a holy connotation, not as a weapon.
Value of water is high, so objects and people are blessed with sand, rather than water.
I made affixes for place names.
Gīf- is used denoting a general region, like a state, province, and at a larger level, nations.
Yat- is used for denoting cities and other equally large settlements
Har- is used for villages and towns.
What would you call these?
Vṛḵaẕ for example:
Gīf-ʾAlšardī - region
Gīf-Ṉalēm - region
Gīf-ʾAnšī-hū Šajeṯ - region, lit. "Land-of River"
Yat-ʾŌmīnīḏ - city
Yat-Šamašeṯ - city
Yat-Ḵadač - city
Har-ʾŪbya - village
Har-Gallam - village
