Zompist Bboard Again

As for two - they come from PIE sigmatic perfective and a blending of -ē deverbal nouns with the non-suppletive aorist of the copula respectively.

Having gotten around to it yet, but this is the approximate structure I plan to use for most or all dictionaries in the future: /*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */; /*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */; /*!50503 SET NAMES utf8mb4 */; /*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_...

Welche von ihnen war am häufigsten benutzt?
Which one of them was most frequently used?

So would having [fɪf] for 5th make the fifth ordinal irregular and the fourth one regular - as in, having-/f/-suffix-for-cardinals regular? Just how rare is having an irregular cardinal higher than some regular cardinals?

In dialects where θ → f, how is fifth realised?

I've been cobbling up the following phonology lately: /p t k ʔ/ <p t k q> /b tʼ kʼ/ <b d g> /?/ <j> /ɸ s ʃ θ x ħ/ <f s c z x h> /m n ɫ ł/ <m n w l> /a i u/ <a i u> The syllable is (C)V(C), and as follows maximum C word initially and finally and maximum CC word medially. Plosives don't occur syllable...

Hi, I'm posting here for the first time.

Warum ꟾ und nicht I? Ist das etwas von lateinische Buchstabierung?
Why ꟾ and not I? Is it something from latin ortography?

Moi non. J'aimerais bien savoir parler toutes les langues, mais je ne veux pas les apprendre toutes. I don't. I'd love to be able to speak all languages, but I don't want to learn them all. Ama bu senin arzuyu reddetmiyor mu? But doesn't that negate your aspiration? Non, pas forcément. Il faut qu'u...

Is there a language that has less phonemes than letters in alphabet?

Ich würde auf Altgriechisch schrieben, aber ich habe keine polytonische Tastatur, die auf meinem Komputer installiert ist. I would write in Ancient Greek, but I don't have a polytonic keyboard installed on my computer. Du kannst immer Zusammensteltasten nutzen. You can always use compose keys.

Okay I'll face it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

About the last point: I'm skeptical. Face and head are very basic terms and not likely to be borrowed at all. Infact, if there's any relatedness, I'm more willing to accept a genetic one, but then I'm very far from being convinced still. (and yes, I'm aware that in principle any word could be borrow...

Some unnamed lang

/p t t͡ʃ k/
/s ʃ/
/m n j w/
/r l ɻʷ ɭʷ/

/ɑ ɯ ɔ u ɛ i/
/ɑ˥ ɑ˩ .../

1. Diacritics look messy and should be minimised Say no more. /m n ŋ/ <м н ҥ> /p b t d k g/ <п б т д к г> /p͡f t͡s t͡ʃ/ <ҧ ц ч> /s z ʃ/ <с з ш> /f v ç/x h/ <ф в х һ> /j l r / <й л р> /d͡ʒ ʒ w/ <џ ж у> /a ə ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ œ ʏ/ [ɐ] <а ъ е и о у ө ү ѫ> /aː eː ɛː iː oː uː øː yː/ <аа ѧ ее ии оо уу өө үү> /aɪ a...

Given bog standard /a o u e i/ and /w/ in the onset, is it plausible that
w > ∅ / _o
w > v / _{a u e i}
with the latter perhaps as two seperate sound changes - / _u and / _{a e i} ? Order doesn't matter.
