Zompist Bboard Again

I’ve contacted zompist about opening up a new subforum; he’s amenable to the idea. I also registered indexdiachronica.com last night, so we could have a domain and web hosting.

Would it be worth it developing a dedicated web site? Like how the old KneeQuickie pages were, except beefier and cited and all…I realize this kind of defeats the purpose of having the master list as a PDF, but maybe it would be better that way. Maybe a group project webspace at the LCS, if they'd h...

Who says that means can’t be real one day?

I am still interested in helping achieve this—I need to overcome inertia.

Well, I sent a package with a bass guitar in it to someone and it arrived damaged, and UPS’ site is making it difficult for me to file a claim.

Our logo, created by the talented Christopher Horst (who also designed the logos for Archspire and Slaughter to Prevail, the latter of whom we've actually shared a stage with): https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/297766824_112501924888716_1061694033870543067_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=...

I just tried depositing $360 into an ATM. It rejected $40 of it, then took my money and rejected the transaction entirely. Now I’m out $320.

Most impressive! Ooh, very nice! Enjoy! Thank you! I bring this up to say that I just started a band that I think the board will be amused by, as the name of said band is "Seven Kill Steel". Tis a good name. {at the very least, give that name to the drums} With one major exception, I name...

This: https://i.imgur.com/y8g1z03.jpg is the Crystal Ship. I bought the Crystal Ship a couple years ago. It's a Tama Silverstar Mirage; originally I passed on them, and then when I decided I wanted one, it had been long enough that their production (limited run) had ceased and not long enough that p...

Something I kind of realized the other day: For me, tool and tulle are not homonyms. Tool has two syllables whereas tulle has one. Is this common? Does anyone else do this?

Language 1: ŋ > x / _#

[tix]
zaun

Language 1.5: ʒ > x

[xix'xai]
gizgei

Language 2: ç > s

['keːis]
têi

Language 3: ø.i > yː

['syː]
soejyoe (now that is a hexagraph)

Language 1: Final vowels delete, shifting nasality (if any) onto the preceding onglide (if any), which turns into a syllabic nasal at the place of articulation of the glide [tsŋ̩] zaun Language 1.5: d > ʒ / i_ A spelling reform occurs. [ʒiʒ'ʒɛi] gizgei Language 2: Generation of offglide consonant fo...

I'm attempting to figure out what the function of the Proto-Beheic *e -infix was. It survives in Proto-O as the *e -infix, but even there I have conflicting/contradictory information: It was either related to nominalizing verbs or some sort of participancy/valency marker—it showed up in the nominati...

I am consistently impressed by the work you do on this.

In attempting to redo O, I came across a word I liked, *bɛʔe 'person'. I like the sound of "Beheic" better than "Tim Ar-O", and I'm inclined to apply "Beheic" as its own term as I've decided it's sort of a Nostratic for Íröd. So I'm weighing whether to change it to &quo...

Some spelling reforms happen, inspired by the French.

Language 1: Coalescense of diphthongs

[tsɔ̃]
zaun

Language 1.5: i > dʒ / _V, with regressive assimilation in voicing

[ʒdʒɛi]
jdjaie

Language 2: [ɰ] > Ø

['teei]
teei

Language 3: [ʑ] > [j]

['søɟjø]
soejyoe

I don't have much constructive other than to say this looks really well-done. I especially am fond of the noun classes and the potential.

US: /kɑnt kænt/
UK: /kænt kɑːnt/

I would have [æ] in both.

My condolences, Nila_MadhaVa.

Nice! Shouldn't the opposite of 'despair' be 'hope' though? Perhaps. I suppose the concepts don't quite line up, though. -------------------------------- I'd like to go into more detail about the Messerini line , lest people get the wrong impression. Above the line, cultures tend to be oriented tow...

I very much like what I see. Likewise. Those are some real nice hieroglyphs. :oops: Thank you very much! -------------------------------- So now we will get onto a religion from Terhír, tentatively called tezúng [tɛθuːk] (yes, that spelling is intentional). Adherents of tezúng form a significant re...
