I have, so far, created 75 phonetic CV radicals for Caber.

At 11:54 p.m. last night, I finished up doing the N's for Kankonian. From word #105,567, Nadam (Naadam), to word #106,553, Zelabik (meaning Zelabian, as in from Zelab, a city in the ancient civilization of Rephir, a word I created to offset the Roman Nisa (Nyssa)), I got a total of 987 new Kankonian words. (The number reminds me of 3,987, the lexicon size of Shaleyan after last Lexember).

In the process, I passed word #106,000, temin-zinikwi (neuroprotection). Temin means "to save, to rescue", and zinikwi means "neuron".

Actually, the day before yesterday, but I somehow failed to post:

A word for a central part of Old Albic social thinking. The word is yrgidrámamintih 'circular process thinking' (German Kreislaufdenken). It is a compound of:

- yrgih 'wheel, circle' < PIE *Hwrgis
- drámah 'track, course' < PIE *drómos
- mintih 'thought' < PIE *mentis
... brought to you by the Weeping Elf

I decided that I want to call the transition of the Wizard Republic from an aristocratic system to a more bureaucratic and meritocratic system the Fruitbat Revolution (although it was probably a more top-down kind if revolution acconpanied by protests due to famine and mismanagement of redistribution). I am still looking for a term for the second revolution that evolved the Wizard Republic into a less hierarchical system with more separation of powers (into five powers), which was closer to a civil war.

Fruitbat Revolution? Sounds like the kind of name Pabappa would give to something from his conworld.

I had to google "Century of the Anchovy". Found out what that is, and it gives context to the Ponder Stibbons avatar you used to use!

Yesterday I finished going over the O-words in the IGCE list for Kankonian. From word #106,557 (Okdeil, meaning "Oakdale") to word #107,410 (Azik, meaning "Ozian", from Az (Oz) plus the demonym suffix -ik), I got a total of 854 new words.

Along the way I reached the 107,000-word milestone, with Shandounat, meaning "Omega Orionis", a number of stars with "Orionis" in their names that I was naming in Kankonian at the time.

All the two-consonant CC onsets are accounted for; only the triconsonantal onsets are left. We're in the home stretch now.

The most recently added entry to my English-Kankonian dictionary is "to playact". This came with four lines, all using previously existing words:

playact, to (act on stage) phurt
playact, to (dramatize) adthreakh
playact, to (role-play) hesshampa
playact, to (feign) mesper

The word "player" is exactly two-thirds of the way through the IGCE list. Something to be proud of!

I got distracted and kind of ended up working on too many things at once, so I will have to tighten down; but my diachronic conlang software made some noticeable progress on a bunch of ends nonetheless. Aside from a whole lot of clean-up on the GUI for the sound changer, it now allows dragging and dropping sound changes along the list, even between sub-sequences. It's now also possible to search/filter the list of changes, and give custom names to diachronic steps.

To explain the latter: my app stores changes independently of the lists they are part of, e.g. you can have a sound change "M to N" (i.e. "m → n") which can then be reused across the whole project, even within the same list of changes. But until now, a step from a specific list which was assigned that sound change would automatically be named "M to N" as well. Now, it's possible to give the step its own unique name, separate from the name of the change, in order to keep better track of its purpose in that particular list of changes.

Woops! That was supposed to be "(m → n)". Now corrected, thank you for catching that.

A bunch more minor progress since last time. I've added a "step details" panel that exists independently of the exact diachronic process the step represents (i.e. whether it's a sound change, a syllabification, a grammaticalisation, etc...), and in this panel it's now possible to add information that is relevant to this particular list of changes for this specific step.
Users can now add tags, a custom description, an inception point (i.e. a number representing the supposed time at which the step first starts) and a duration, to describe how long the change needs to fully take hold.

Inception and duration don't have any technical application for now, but it's good information to store, and further down the line I'm hoping to implement some features that'll make use of it, such as sound changes applying probabilistically rather than absolutely if the duration of the step has not fully elapsed since the inception.

Stole the Finnish case system because I felt weird, and adapted it to be slightly more intuitive while still keeping the things I like. (Pronouns were stolen from Norwegian and Finnish.)

This is all for my new a posteriori conlang, a kind of lingua franca for the entirety of Scandinavia.

And yet I still haven't worked on verbs or adjectives, or all the other parts of speech yet. This is going to be a long journey...
