No, there's no fancy linguistics-specific stuff here; it's just html. I use my own version of an html editor, which I've been working on for a couple of years now.

Re: New toy: phono
I had to zoom out to get the table to make sense — the rows get broken up into multiples. Which is fine, I realise not everyone is plugging their computer into a TV screen, and using it from the couch :). More seriously, in the default setting, you have a typo in the first row. I'm pretty sure they'...

Re: Lexicon organisation
An entry from my dictionary. I've been mucking with the search function over the last few days, which is why the 404 page doesn't look the same as ordinary search. Other than that, it works well enough for me.

Re: Great natlang reference grammars
I recall Trask's Standard Basque as being a model of clarity and exhaustiveness, but it's been years since I've been able to look at my copy (it's in a box somewhere). My favourite natlang grammar is also called Standard Basque , but it's attributed to Rudolf de Rijk. This Amazon link says "Vo...

Re: Towards a common SCA grammar
I wasn't even aware there were this many SCAs. I've played with Zompist's SCA2 in the past, but when it came time to evolve High Lulani into Vulgar, I hardcoded the rules in the Python program I use for all my conlanging.

Re: Hs!lɓuə scratchpad
I'm sure this has been done before.
When I was working in fast food, I saw the word unəɯ every day, so it got stuck in my head. The plethora of vowels makes reading most English words this way fairly easy.

Case markers from adpositions
I'm given to understand that case markers are derived from adpositions. According to WALS, adpositions are evenly spread between pre- and post-positions, but case markers are overwhelmingly suffixes. Can adpositions be easily moved around, or am I basically forced to start with postpositions? Whence...
