Re: Grammaticalization Quickie Thread
Update: I'm using <tes> "through" + the Dative for the Instrumental. I'm also using <tes> as an intensifier / telicity marker for verbs, which might be complicating things somewhat, but I figure this is a decent additional application. So I'll have -ttɛs, -tɛʔɛs, and -teʔɛs. This actually ...

Re: Grammaticalization Quickie Thread
So I've been having some trouble with the evolution of one of my conlangs' morphology, and this seemed like the place to ask the questions I had. This regards the Dative case, /-t/ (and /-tɛ/ and /-te/) in Pretistelen, particularly its development in one of the daughter languages. One of the phonolo...

Re: Pretistelen Mega-Project
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, doubled consonants are supposed to be geminates. [ø] will probly get represented as <oý> or <oŷ> (depending on length), but on the other hand [ay], [ey], and [oy] have virtually never actually come up (at least so far), so such a change may not be necessary.

Pretistelen Mega-Project
Finally finished this beast, one of the daughter langs of a conlang I've been working on for some time.
Thoughts? I'm mostly worried about its differences with its original language, Pretistelen (link in the doc): I'm good with sound changes, but not really with morphosyntactic changes.

Reptilian Phonology
The key here being the labials. I have a species of sapient dinosaurian reptiles and I've been working on how the phonologies of their languages should be set up. In regards to the structure of their mouths, I've more or less set on the species having overall similar structure to the human mouth (th...
