I'm finally joining the cool kids in 2011 and getting myself a scratchpad. Expect clonging and worldbuilding stuff to be posted here intermittently. Or not.
To start out:
Nouns in the Lessan language are collective-singulative, with a polysingularizing noun class system, listed and exemplified below:
Sacred concepts: deities, radioactive chemicals, most magic/psionics terminology
Persons: names of sapient species, personal names, names of ethnic groups, sophont body parts
Pack animals: birds, termites, fish, animal body parts
Wild animals: dragons, boars, shellfish, cuts of meat
Fruits: includes all native food plants, even if not fruit
Including by reference this post about number words in Classical Āirumāli, and soliciting feedback on everything that was, is, & will be in this thread.

Progress report: 237/312!
Seeking feedback on word choice and suggestions, with the guidance that this language is for forest- and jungle-dwelling, predominantly premodern, psionic space elves on a terraform moon.
I feel like there was a post that mysterioulsy vanished. Maybe it was just a dream. As requested (in my dream), some feedback on the presentation and the language.
The noun class system looks cool, I would just like to see some examples in context. I have to admit that I don't know if I understand the table in your last post. Is this conlang oligosynthetic? Why do you organise the meaning in a phonological chart?
On the presentation: I don't like clicking links, I must admit. I also like a small explanatory text with conlang stuff and if possible some examples on the usage. Honestly, I am not so much a fan of scratchpads, but de gustibus non est disputandum.

Because I intend for every possible syllable to also be a word. Oligosynthesis is an interesting idea.

Your Hoennese Realm link leads to commercial spam.
Oop, I forgot to change it when I had to change Hoenn's URL. It's been fixed now.
No, it isn't.
Guess who has two thumbs and is irredeemably stupid‽ I had updated the Website field of my profile but not my signature. Now both should point to the right place.

I see. I was relating to the link in your signature. Not that there was much to see yet on your site, but it is better than a web site unrelated to your conworld and selling baby dolls ;)
Made a new verb conjugation paradigm for Classical Âirumâli! \o/
Now one can make such words as alundiřecìĺiqâ “we could hypothetically have not, earlier today, helped to telekinetically move it [an inanimate object]”.
