Re: Conlang fluency thread

Isn't that used for cases where it's a passive form? For example "sang" is "sing.PST" because it is the past form of "sing" and it's difficult to clearly point out the specific past tense morpheme since it's formed by ablaut. That's just semantics. "went" is ...

Re: What have you accomplished today?

Does two glottises also mean two f0? So two pitch levels? Default overtone singing? I hope so! With two glottises that act independently, it wouldn't just be overtones that could be produced. Overtones are multiples of the fundamental frequency (f0) and with overtone singing, all that is happening ...

Re: Conlang fluency thread

As it happens, you didn’t need to ramble, because Eŋes has precisely this distinction too: wafŋim ‘be broken’ vs mafŋim ‘get broken’ (vs wmafŋim ‘break’). Rambling doesn't happen because it is necessary. 🤣 It's a force that comes from within ... and it's name is probably ADD. How do you usually glo...
