EDIT: cool wordgen! can't i define more than one unit ? wanted to do units: $ = CV(F) ! = CF but it refused If you are seriously asking, the key of a unit must be a capital letter or $. I also allow a few other characters. This kind of scenario was the reason I created Vocabug-lite. It's simple. It...

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. This is great! I've played around with it a bit and it's the best word generator I've seen so far. I missed your post somehow. Thanks so much, I appreciate it. I have since released more features, some of which I have not seen done elsewhere. Letter-case-field: th...

Could be fun trying to make one based on Japanese kana (maybe a mix of both hiragana and katakana, including odd uses of daku- or handakuten, and small kana). Though I think it would be hard to start off, and it still would make use of basic mora unless forced to use phonemes directly. Oh, I know i...

I can't decide on whether to name this tool "ADDM: Annotated Dictionary Database Manager" or "Dictionmancy" ... The former. I am thinking the same, except... I have been thinking a lot about this. What I need to do is to create a library / suite that these tools / applications a...

I have made the changes, it now does multiple glosses delimited by blank lines.

Besides the tools I've made available, I heavily use another one: a Javascript program to convert text to html. This allows me to create html documentation very quickly from my Word documents. Earlier I wrote an RTF-to-html converter, but Word's RTF is pretty horrible and produces a lot of nonsense...

I'll make it do multiple translations on whitespace by default. This gives me a reason to rewrite this program in typescript, and to fix my consistent misspelling of separate as 'seperate'. OPs program is pretty cool. They mention that if romanisation has a different length to the gloss it doesn't f...

I have already solved this problem a long time ago with Gloss My Gloss. https://neonnaut.github.io/ The whole point of it was that Rotting Bones couldn't work out how to do multiline texts using Gloss My Gloss . If there is a way to do that, I would be very happy to hear it. Oh I'm sorry I skim rea...

I wonder how one could write computational notation for shifting tone to the right or left, or just for linking and delinking in autosegmental phonology.

I'd never heard of Iljena either, nor that newsletter.

I always assumed "$" meant a syllable boundary, but no, it's only a syllable boundary in "KneeQuickie" notation. Fun fact: KneeQuickie of course was a play with syllable and morpheme boundaries. That wiki was run by a former ZBB member who went by the name Neek , hence NeekWiki ...

I've been hearing ⟨you'll⟩ in my dialect for the second person plural, perhaps with some kind of shwa sound. I could imagine it evolving into something like this:

	Singular	Plural
1	ɒi	wi
2	yu	yəl
3	dei	del

I can’t believe no-one has yet linked this guide from the old board . It’s a great overview of what kinds of vowel systems are found in natlangs. With how much people keep referencing Alice's work here despite it having succumbed to linkrot multiple times I feel like it needs to be better preserved...
