It's not commissioned work yet, just a request--but no worse for all that! And all within the space of about an hour, too, so... As always, I should start assembling a table of contents of sorts, like so: Rokhanese: The Basics Rokhana: The Five Princes Rokhanese: Modality Prefixes Pfarilian: The Bas...

uncertain if I will use your version >< but nicely done

So...would it be okay if I use the alphabet for my own work?

sure (: just use it yourself

Grand stuff! Many thanks!

Human=thinker OR speaker OR 1pi-individual

Next: penguin

@Pedant, your point to methru and alynnidalar was well made - I can see whence comes your name. Also, mythical animals are fine, and should be interesting as many are amalgams of extant animals. Good to be of service--and many thanks! Earthworm=CAUS.live-soil-DIM-animal OR tube-DIM Next: sea urchin

A word to you both, mèþru and alynnidalar: I think holbuzvala was saying that we should try not to use animal names in the glosses. Just for the rules’ sake.
Anyway:

Raccoon=hands-DIM-animal OR black-mask

Next: parrot

PS. Hey, holbuzvala, are we allowed to try mythical animals as well?

Hey, no worries!

So, k1234567890y, what do you yourself think?

Gecko: amazing-animal (be interesting to see if anyone gets the reference) OR eye-licker

Hey, not a bad idea!

Let’s see, how about:

mouse=long.tail-DIM

Why does your conscript have the Latin equivalent of <c>? Strictly speaking it doesn't; the word Ashenacom , as I said above, would in the actual language be transliterated Ashenakom or Ašenakom . But the word as Salvian and Irthironian scholars first became aware of it came from the languages of t...

A note on PHONOLOGY and NAMES ON THE PLAINS : Remember that this is the language spoken over a thousand years ago (nearly a thousand Earth years), not any of the languages of the here-and-now.

Here is the thread for a plains-dwelling race of mine, the Ashenacom, who instead of riding horses ride camelopards--in effect the camelid equivalent of the horse--and have the rather nasty ability to consume souls by setting themselves on fire.
