Pākíka - IE lang
Pākíka - IE lang
Pākíka is my newest attempt for an IE a-posteriori lang.
I don't know its location yet. To include the features that I nowadays want to add all my conlangs, it must have some substrate influence from an unknown source.
Some features:
Phonological:
- PIE "aspirated voiced plosives" merge with "voiced plosives", like in Celtic, Balto-Slavic and Iranic (?). (Later they develop to fricatives and end up to a system similar to that of modern Greek.)
- Vowels are conservative. PIE *e, *o, and *a/h2e appear as /e/, /o/, and /a/.
- PIE tone are lost. Pākíka develops new long vowels/tones. (V+nasal => long vowels with a slightly lowering tone <ā> V+*s => long vowel with a rising tone <á>.)
- I am not sure of Satem/Centum. Anyways palatalized/labialized velars don't appear as anything interesting.
Morphological:
- Four old cases: Nominative (-s or rising tone for animates, bare stem for inanimates), Accusative (bare stem), Dative-Locative (-i that is often fused with the theme vowel), Genitive-Ablative (-e or vowel alternations).
- Two new cases: Comitative (-k/ke (?) from PIE *kwe), Essive (from the copula verb *esti)
- Verbs are very innovative (basically a system I developed for an a-priori lang). Two aspects (Habitual-Iterative and Nonhabitual), tree tense-moods (Nonpast, Past, Subjunctive), two degrees of control (1) (Control and Noncontrol).
- Adjectives are Genitives of abstract nouns ("man of honor").
(1) Control has roughly the same semantic implications (aspectual, volitional) as a split alignment without any changes in syntax.

Re: Pākíka - IE lang
I think it will be deus~Zeus (Sanskrit devah might be a cognate too.)
In Pākíka, it is something like <zīus> [zi:us] or <zīos> [zi:os].

Fist attempt for the declensions
There is still much to do with development of the vowels, so the declension is preliminary, as well.
The o-declension
A-thematic declension

Re: Pākíka - IE lang
I guess it'll not be the final version.
I don't even know if /o/ is mid-low or mid-high, which will be distinct in Pākíka.

Sorry, I should have included a ;-) emoji.
I think you weren’t saying your attempt wasn’t an open-palmed attempt.
I think you meant to say your next attempt would be the second.
First rather than fist.

I’ve been watching Aisha Tyler’s “Inside ‘The Boys’”; so the “fist” caught my attention.

Re: Pākíka - IE lang
looks nice (:
also the name looks kinda Polynesian, which makes me wonder if you are planning on a polynesian-sounding IE language, but judging from the samples you have made, it seems to not be Polynesian-inspired.

I prefer to not be referred to with masculine pronouns and nouns such as “he/him/his”.
