Seems to.

This might be a signal to create a semivowelisation marker for "i" and "u". CT doesn't have semivowels, though. The reason the initial /wu-/ got borrowed as /ùú/ is because the accent here mimics what would happen with an onglide into a stressed vowel. –––––––– A preliminary des...

One. I'm thinking I'm going to go back to ł for /ɬ/ and d for /θ/. Two: Might make another suzerainty in the Empire: That of the Banner of Uúrutłara ( Wurrjarra ). Wurrjarra is an oddity as far as the empire goes: It was surrendered Dujajikiswa territory; since the Dujajikiswa are from below the Mes...

Which looks kinda fine (even though I have uncertainties about all the cases being single consonants), but then it starts looking weird when you get sentences like: Muwam amtīt rēbīt sağğalīt eḫḫūk śimūk ṣabāsūk mannabūk altin. [muˈwɒm ɒmˈtiːt rɛːˈbiːt sɒɣ.ɣɒˈliːt ɛxˈxuːk ɬiˈmuːk sʼɒ.bɒːˈsuːk mɒn.n...

I would like to look into musical scales based on P5 equivalence. My brief googling and scanning Wikipedia on my phone is leaving me confused. Anybody know a layperson-friendly discussion of these? I’ve never heard of ‘P5 equivalence’ as a concept applied to musical scales, and searching doesn’t tu...

Sort of the "signature" weapon of the Caber is the giǵam , basically what we'd call a bagh nakh crossed with slightly sharpened brass knuckles; frequently there's a foldable blade/needle/spike, the that can be opened out from the bottom bar and used to pierce or stab things. This ended up ...

On the subject of the ambiguity, it occurs to me that you could keep much closer to your original idea if every second vowel is suppressed regardless of whether or not it matches the one that precedes, but that it has some influence on the preceding vowel: Ci + Ca = CeC Cu + Ca = CoC Cï + Ca = CëC ...

(and [I'm] also [curious] why sequences like < a > + < i >, or < a > + < w > are not used for what I assume would be phonemes /e o/, and likewise some other digraph for what I presume is /ø/) The two main reasons for this are that a) CT is absolutely lousy with hiatus (the word for 'vowel' is uái ,...

Incidentally, the orthography seems to be defective, the language having vowels that seem to be represented as what is Romanised as < i ï e ë a ö (o?) u ü > , which I assume are something like /i ɨ e ə a ø (o?) u y/ That's pretty close. The paradigm I usually use describes it as /a e ø i y ɤ o ɯ u/...

I successfully managed to digitize all 170 currently-extant glyphs in the CT cuneiform mode of Atski.

That is also nice. Thank you!

Same thing, but in the second mode. The previous mode, with no horizontals, is the eaksi n Lemhár (Levárian mode); this is eaksi n Atki (Atskian mode).

Random: I like money.

I think he meant to say “I didn’t want to…”

I enjoy it when he asks, FWIW.

So I've digitized up to the first 52 signs in the canon (sign 052 is the endonym 'Tim Ar'). Here's how the name of the language looks: https://i.imgur.com/hhqnVh2.png ĜA-RI GEN Tim.Ar 019 – 017 – 039 – 052 Ĝare n Tim Ar The phonetic piece of the canon works in that you have glyphs of type CA, CI, CU...

You give him them when he asks, I hope. Janko is awesome.

Perhaps the humor ought to be curtailed at this point…this guy legitimately would like assistance and we ought not bite the newbies.
