Dunno if this has been discussed already here, but PIE *Hebl- 'apple' may not be a loanword at all, and instead just be a metastethised form of *meHlom. Can't track down the paper from academia.edu I originally read that in, but the gist is that an intermediate form *Heml- underwent ml → bl. Also, ...

What does it even mean for a language to be ‘too big’ or ‘too small’? It’s just… how the language works. If you dislike their phonaesthetic, fine, but please don’t pretend it’s some kind of objective judgement. (For instance, I suspect you’d greatly dislike Coptic and Dorig [see section 4.2], which...

Sure, happens all the time, if you're an elementary particle. In quantum mechanics, a particle can go back in time... we call it an antiparticle. Hang on, I thought that was exotic matter??

It's generally claimed that the dialects of the Danelaw had more Norse influence - which is odd when you recall that the East Midlands dialect is the base of (standard) Modern English. Perhaps the West Midlands contribution to Modern English has diluted the Norse component. It's easier to notice th...

So I've been rather obsessed (what else is new?) with a conlang a few years back called Chavakani , which as its base is a blend of Japanese, Niger-Congo, and Austronesian aesthetic.
