However this is unfortunately the wrong way round, with the MC being nominalised; so while it's a dope construction it can't be transferred into SCL. Instead, I'll have to work through the convergence of two processes; nominalised subclauses and zero-copula constructions. It's within the realms of possibility that these are similar in proto-SCL; with nominalised subclauses taking possessive markers syncretous with free pronouns, and zero-copula constructions formed with free pronouns:Creyeditor wrote: ↑28 May 2023 16:13 Kata-nya, mereka baru makan.

Am I the only one who laughed my head off at this?VaptuantaDoi wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023 13:18 This is an idea which came to me when I was thinking about Babm. Say Babm was found spoken as a natlang somewhere by an Earth linguist - how would they possibly go about analysing it? Then I attempted to derive proto-Babm, then evolve a sisterlang (obviously with a vertical vowel system) from there. And yes, this does mean Babm is a cannon natlang on Kokhene. This is assumed to simply be a massive coincidence.
