Zompist Bboard Again

Oh doh, it is a word! I guess I was primed by a different word (at the beginning of line eight) and read one character as another. Sorry for the brain fart! :oops: I actually misread it the first time and thought it was a repetition of line eight word one! That's why it's off to the side :P So I do...

Thanks for the corrections! Yes, I did assume that was a handwriting thing, as that character on the left is the only one in the text with a long base. Still, good to know it's distinct. Your green-circled 'non-word' appears in the compound at the beginning of line 17 in the text. Just checked, and ...

I couldn't get my scanner to work, so I'm afraid it's all phone photos! Here's what I think is the base glyph set, followed by the tallies of glyphs with extensions (ascenders and descenders). The alphanumeric labels are part of encoding I've been using, based on the graphical relationships that I s...

If the context is already past tense [ˈwɒʔdʒə], otherwise [ˈwɒɾɪdʒə]

ignoring the dot and grave accents, which seem pretty evenly distributed. Not giving anything away yet since I'm seeing some good insights in this thread, but since this is just a dumb handwriting thing: there's no distinction here (they're all supposed to be dots). Aha! That explains why some of t...

I'm in the process of making a frequency list Are you still on this? I'm still working on the decryption, but the frequency list is done now I've determined the basic shapes (or series) and the correspondences between x-height chars and chars with ascenders/descenders (grades). They make a four gra...

"doll" [dɒʟʷ] "dolly" [ˈdɒli] "dollar" [ˈdɒlə] "moll" don't know this word - "mall" and "maul" are both [mɔːʟʷ] "want" [wɒnʔ] "wanna" [ˈwɒnə] "wash" [wɒʃ] "wasp" [wɒsp] "water" [ˈwɔːʔə] &quo...

Has anyone made any progress with this? I can identify the end-of-sentence markers, but that's about it. I hadn't realised that's what they were! I'm curious about the doubled and tailed variants. Maybe that means the angle brackets are quotation/name marks; there's a combination of both in the mid...

Now that I think about it, I actually pronounce μ in isolation as /mjuː/

For reference, I pronounce the names of the greek alphabet as:

ælfə	iːtə	nuː	taʊ̯

Your humanity is neither your natural life nor your membership in the Volunteer Fire Department but precisely the gap that prevents you from being able to wholly choose either. Is that a reference to a Series of Unfortunate Events? Yes, I'm a fan. It's been a long time since I read that series, but...

Leima got 23/80

Although it's not exactly the most naturalistic conlang out there

What is F**?

The Constructed Languages of JRR Tolkien | It’s Lit

Recently released, one of the better videos I've seen for people unfamiliar with conlangs, and quite amusing to watch generally. (By 'better', I mean well-researched and accurate on the whole)

Yeah. Laundry hampers dont really hold up too well so I wanted something more sturdy. I have a lot of handbags since they're good for carrying groceries and other things. Where I'm from, a handbag is typically made of leather, and used (mostly by women) to carry personal items out of the house, suc...

There are four infinitives?? Are ɪɴꜰ.1 and ɪɴꜰ.2 the same as those you mentioned in relation with labile verbs earlier? Howcome you didn't mention 3 and 4?

I am VERY excited to have discovered that David Edwards (aka Trailsend) has posted an updated grammar of Hiding Waters (fka Feayran) online. It's one of my favourite works of conlanging out there, and I'm pumped to get to read a fuller treatment on it (afaik there were only selective or very old des...
