Guess the Word in Romlangs
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Does it mean "Easter"?
That is, from something along the lines of ipsam festam de ipsum agnellum, "the feast of the lamb"?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
It does not.
However, this is exactly what I have in my notes.
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Does it represent a holiday, and if so, Christmas?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
If I may be allowed two guesses, depending on your answer to qwed's first question...
...if it does mean a particular holiday (and neither Christmas nor Easter), does it mean Passover? (maybe this is a jewish romlang!)
...if it doesn't mean a particular holiday, does it just mean the Mass/Eucharist in general?
EDIT: either way, pretty pleased with myself guessing the literal meaning! I'm not normally much good at this. For me, the key was thinking that since you'd used a sardinian article, maybe the famous Sardinian /ll/ > /ɖɖ/ explained the otherwise unusual 'dd' cluster...

Good guess, though! You're on the right track thinking outside of Christianity.
Indeed, good thinking! This was inspired by Sardinian and Sicilian in particular.

...Eid al-Adha?

Well done!
According to Wikipedia, it's sometimes referred to as "la Fiesta del Cordero/Borrego" in Spanish. Regardless of how commonly used those terms actually are, I decided to use an equivalent term here.
Sardinian itself doesn't keep agnellus, instead using a descendant of *agnionem, agnone. That means the corresponding term in Sardinian would be "sa Festa di s'Agnone". Not as fun I suppose.Salmoneus wrote: ↑06 Apr 2020 16:11 EDIT: either way, pretty pleased with myself guessing the literal meaning! I'm not normally much good at this.

Hey, I won one!
...but I'm afraid it might take a day or two for me to come up with something. I'll get right on it! [I'll see what I can dig up on one of my old romlangs...]

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
New word:
s-invazaṛ-um-òt
Pronounced more or less as written (the ò indicates a low back vowel; the stress is on the ZAR syllable)
[I'm afraid this won't be an easy one...]

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Is the stem related to invāsiō/invāsus?
Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
I'm afraid not.

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Do the hyphens correspond to morpheme boundaries?
This might be a stupid question, but I'd rather get it out of the way now than potentially realize several questions in that I'd jumped to an incorrect conclusion.

Assuming the answer to this is yes, is the s- corresponding to ipse?shimobaatar wrote: ↑08 Apr 2020 23:45 Do the hyphens correspond to morpheme boundaries?

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
The hyphens do mark morpheme boundaries, but there's also one morpheme boundary not marked by hyphens. [possibly two? probably not, though. It depends at what point you regard fusion as having taken place]
qwed: it does not correspond to ipse.
jackk: it's a verb.
