Caber is not dead, it's just been really quiet. Working on Calligraphic Caber now:

As I said elsewhere, I am very much interested to see this develop further.

As I said elsewhere, I am very much interested to see this develop further.

Thank you!

You may be seeing it sooner than I thought. I've decided, for Realism Points™, to make the Tim Ar script a descendant of Caber. Because it's the Tim Ar and I seem to love punishing myself with these things, I've decided that the Tim Ar will get stuck at the syllabary stage, at least for the Classical state of the language, and have a somewhat defective writing system. Now, even after axing a number of the distinctions, I'm left with 960 phonetic glyphs to not only whip up, but to whip up from the "coined in Common Caber" stage. This would somewhere around double the CC lexicon.

For better or for worse, one of the attributes of the Mute Caber diaspora that the Tim Ar inherited was their writing system. CC's was a bog-standard logography, true, but then there came the idea of adapting it to the Tim Ar tongue. This was eventually accomplished to only partial success, but the end result ended up becoming the standard anyway. Some key differences:

- The CT system is almost entirely phonetic.
- Tone is not marked. For that matter, neither are some of the consonant distinctions.
- CC r was interpreted as CT l, despite CT having r—which latter was assigned symbols corresponding to CC z. This is because the r of CT was a continuant whereas that in CC was a flap; CC z was an alveolar continuant and fit the bill insofar as speakers of CC were concerned, but then they had this leftover alveolar approximant that wasn't doing anything…
- CC c g (which were /k g/) palatalize before front vowels (q.v.). This means that there are no native glyphs in CT for ke and ki, or for the velar nasal plus these same vowels; they are formed by diacriticizing another vowel.
- CC had a set of central vowels that coördinate well with CT's back unrounded vowels (which in some analyses might have been central anyway), but no front rounded vowels. These were formed with another diacritic modifying the front unrounded vowels.
- CT has syllabic resonants; these are represented using the glyphs for -aC syllables.

--------------------------------

Speaking of CC, a new word: beśce 'foreign, unusual'. I don't have a glyph for it yet though. Also the stops /c g/ and fricative /x/ now palatalize in front of front vowels and the affricates /ts dz/ are gone.

Some words in CT for elements and related terms.

The "classical" elements:

kólïs copper
éḫn lead
ûn gold
gákłi silver
ĝaĝ iron
ḫömło mercury
ëtsín tin
łóhkór sulfur
kûlid zinc
regád arsenic
hesn antimony
ürḫar bismuth

A bit more recent elements:

móm ĝ kélen hydrogen (lit. 'mother of water')
móm ikłe hága deuterium (lit. 'a mother twice over')
móm ikłe isë tritium (lit. 'a mother thrice over')
móm ĝ ḫuú oxygen (lit. 'mother of breath')

ëslug 'tungsten' (lit. 'hardy', adjective used substantively)
lugna sígna 'uranium' (lit. 'yellow metal'; often understood to be U-238 in opposition to U-235, below)
móm n raáḫ 'U-235' (lit. 'mother of division')
naglugna 'depleted uranium' (lit. 'stonemetal')

kélen hún standard water (lit. 'darkwater')
kélen suú heavy water (lit. 'truewater')

Bleffys Udd (Mléhïs Úd in CT) died without issue as he was, much to his dismay, infertile, saying only that his empire would go "to the strongest"—while he did adopt a child (named Zyllu), one whom he personally rescued from a priest-king who was going to sacrifice him, this child preferred creating and building things to administration and was disinclined to take up his father's mantle. For his part, Bleffys Udd respected this, reasoning that someone who really didn't want the hot seat would make a poor leader.

Bleffys Udd had four trusted lieutenants who were widely considered to be the frontrunners for succession. In the minutes after his death, they gathered, waiting to hear news of both the great khan and whom he picked to be his successor. One of these lieutenants brazenly inquired into the succession right after Bleffys' death, to which another—Fäxil Preto—expressed disgust ("His body is still warm and you speak of succession!") and left. Of the three that remained, two got into a fistfight, and one of them threw the other out a window to his death. The two who weren't Fäxil Preto ended up getting into a brief war and essentially destroyed each other, leaving Fäxil to assume the throne uncontested. Thus began the Preto (Mréro, if you keep to speaking CT as an official language) Dynasty, the longest-running unbroken streak of (relatively) peaceful transfers of power in Tim Ar history.

The Pretos ended up petering out and after yet another war-stained interregnum some clans of Tim Ar once again assumed the imperial office, becoming the Restoration Dynasties.

[rotting bones]

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

[Ares Land]

Very interesting as always.

I'm curious as to the etymology of these:

kélen hún standard water (lit. 'darkwater')
kélen suú heavy water (lit. 'truewater')

[Man in Space]

I'm curious as to the etymology of these:

kélen hún standard water (lit. 'darkwater')
kélen suú heavy water (lit. 'truewater')

Thank you both!

The etymology comes from the hue of the liquid. Heavy water is noticeably clearer than is standard water, which has a slight blue hue. In CT, hún covers all the cool colors (and dark grey/black).

Musical equivalences across Máranhír tend to be quintave-based—that is, P5 equivalence is preferred over that of the octave (P8). The Tim Ar have an thirty-six-tone chromatic system (though your garden-variety diatonic scale only uses eighteen or so), while the Caber have a five-tone system much akin to Georgian.

The Tim Ar musical scale was originally an 18-tone system—eighteen equal divisions of the perfect fifth—but the second and fourth notes of the Caber scale are exactly in between two notes each in this setup (the first, third, and fifth correspond exactly to the unison, the halfway point, and the perfect fifth). Cultural crosstalk yielded the Tim Ar 36-tone system from the Caber notes being bent to so much. To this day, the accidental notes—all sharps—are called "Caber" notes. So you have madál ĝ Kán 'a Caber (i.e. sharp) madál', for instance.

[Man in Space]

All right, let's talk Kgáweq'.

Kgáweq' is a language

/n/ n
/t t’ d k k’ g q q’ ʔ/ t t’ d k k’ g q q’ ’
/ts ts’ tɬ tɬ’ kx kx’ qχ qχ’ h/ ts ts’ tl tl’ kg kg’ qg qg’ h

/a ə e i o u/ a/á ʌ/ʌ́ ə/ə́ e/é i/í o/ó u/ú
/a̰ ə̰ ḛ ḭ o̰ ṵ/ ą/ǎ ʌ̨/ʌ̌ ę/ě į/ǐ ǫ/ǒ ų/ǔ Yes, for some reason I have an easier time creating wedge than capital schwa in LaTeX with this font. I'm debating whether to go for schwa or wedge. I think schwa is the safer bet but wedge actually compiles the diacritics without having to hack it as much. Anyway.

/iə̯ eə̯ aə̯/ iʌ eʌ aʌ vel. sim.

Stress is contrastive; of the vowel sets, the acute marks stress and the caron marks stress plus creaky voice.

It's important to note that Kgáweq’ exhibits vowel harmony; vowels are either in the u-state or the o-state, based on height:

u ~ o, ʌ ~ a(ʌ), i(ʌ) ~ e(ʌ)

The former of the pairs above is the u-state, the latter the o-state. Generally when I cite exemplars I do so in the o-state, though in the morphology they may not be. Western dialects are prestiged and determine harmony by the stressed vowel of the root. Eastern dialects use the last vowel in the word. In writing, posttonic root vowels and qualifier affixes ignore vowel harmony rules; this is a concession to speakers of eastern dialects. It should be noted that written Kgáweq’ is a bit out of date—not to the point of unrecognizability, but enough to occasionally cause problems. The languages have slightly but noticeably developed away from that standard.

So with Kgáweq’, we have a really large verbal template.

NEG - PVB - success - SBJ - VERS - OBJ - TAM - root - QUAL

Slot -7: The negative

If it's present, it's tlo’-, e.g. tlu’ʌ̨dníł 'he isn't slow', tlo’ayǫnats’ǎtl 'I don't have it'.

If you use XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, getting capital schwa and diacritics should be trivial.

I’m not sure this counts as ‘sandhi’ per se… but it certainly is interesting morphophonology; do you have any more details?

Basically it's that you can't have two vowels in hiatus so the first diphthong gets converted to /j/.

…but it would still be nice to see the paradigms!

I plead "it was way past my bedtime when writing that".

This seems suspiciously close to a standard middle voice category.

There's more to it than that; basically it introduces another argument (not necessarily identical to the subject) that gets affected by the action in some way.

What are the semantic differences between the various aspects? I’m particularly confused about ‘continuative’ vs ‘imperfective’.

Essentially, momentane is instantaneous/brief, imperfective is default/ongoing, continuative is done for a long time (so "continuative/iterative/protractive" might be a better descriptor, though much less concise), perfective is the action finished.

Slot +1: The qualifier

These augment the subject and/or object in some way.

This is a bit vague; could you supply more details please?

Sure, I can try (I'm on my lunch break so this will be brief for the time being)—essentially, you can augment or diminish the subject and/or object with the qualifier affix. This is especially useful for relativized verbs as you can make a judgment as to the nature of the resultant noun; e.g.:

The issue is I'm calling another font family with fontspec and the special character/diacritic support on it is piss-poor.

Ah, I see. Could you perhaps move to another font? Alternately, when I’ve run into similar problems, I’ve found it easy to define an alternate font for areas of text requiring extended character support, e.g.: (https://github.com/bradrn/Conkey/blob/8 ... tex#L3-L11)

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fontspec}
% Default font
\setmainfont{Gentium Plus}
% Fallback font for characters unavailable in Gentium
\newfontfamily{\fallbackfont}{Times New Roman}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\tfb}{\fallbackfont}
% Fallback font for symbols
\newfontfamily{\fallbackfontsymbol}{Segoe UI Symbol}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\tfbs}{\fallbackfontsymbol}

This seems suspiciously close to a standard middle voice category.

There's more to it than that; basically it introduces another argument (not necessarily identical to the subject) that gets affected by the action in some way.

So basically an applicative, then? (Though I’d need more detail to be able to say exactly what kind of applicative.)

[Man in Space]

Might be an applicative. I was staving Georgian.

Anyway, time to try to reconstruct what I can of the nominals. Actually, we can reconstruct quite a bit of them as I just found an old archive.

POSS - LOC - case - NUM - root

Possessive prefixes:
ye- 1SG
q’- 2SG

Body parts, kinship terms, and the noun séq’naq 'house' are inalienably possessed:

To talk about them in general, use the 3PL forms:

Locative prefiixes:

kg’ot 'brother'

Conjunctions

nęʌts 'and'
łoq(e) 'inclusive or'

So you get things like:

Kgáweq’ color terms:

rósto’ 'white'

To say that an object itself is a certain color, one can either use the inversion marker or use the appropriate prefix with the subjective-version marker; which method is used varies depending on the speaker and dialect:

’ądąłkgiłiqǒr

One can also use similar verbs without an incorporated object to say that some object obvious from context is a certain color:

Are any of the scripts related to Caber in Omniglot?

(sadly, i could only recall Caber, so thats all i could search for - and failed to find it)

thank you

EDIT: the reason i asked was so i could put the following title in logograms, as well as render the name as best i could; in the meantime, here is the title. I was more concerned about getting the translations as correct as i could, rather than word order, so the placement of the words is exactly as in the title:

The Daughters of Joshua Cabe
Ba ćơrče-soćur-r Fe (J.) Cabe
{the gave.birth-woman-PL}
Ba soćur-kïrï-r Fe (J.) Cabe
{the women-child-PL}
Ba ćơrče-soćur-oc Fe (J.) Cabe
Ba soćur-kïrï-oc Fe J.) Cabe (person)

On one hand, you initially say that the plural is -r...and then you add "The plural for nouns and adjectives is generally -(o)c (the -o- is deleted if the singular form ends in -o),"...so i wasn't sure, and tried them both.
{this is very fun}

No, they are not. I didn't know I could put them up there. I will have to look into how to do this.

the reason i asked was so i could put the following title in logograms, as well as render the name as best i could; in the meantime, here is the title.

<3 I love fanfiction. (Or whatever you would call this…fan-translation?)

The Daughters of Joshua Cabe
Ba ćơrče-soćur-r Fe (J.) Cabe
{the gave.birth-woman-PL}
Ba soćur-kïrï-r Fe (J.) Cabe
{the women-child-PL}
Ba ćơrče-soćur-oc Fe (J.) Cabe
Ba soćur-kïrï-oc Fe J.) Cabe (person)

I will look into this a little later, as I am currently with my vocalist mixing the album.

On one hand, you initially say that the plural is -r...and then you add "The plural for nouns and adjectives is generally -(o)c (the -o- is deleted if the singular form ends in -o),"...so i wasn't sure, and tried them both.

Sorry for the confusion! -r specifically was a collectivizing affix. It fell into disuse in many of the descendant languages but was fossilized in what the Caber called themselves.

{this is very fun}

You honor me by doing this. Thank you!

And now, a Tim Ar idiom.

tëg mûr

tëg

kick

mûr

tree

'to kick a tree'

tëg umír

tëg

kick

/mûr

tree/PL

'to kick trees'

Means you get nowhere, waste time and effort, do useless or fruitless tasks, (later, by extension) to be derelict in one's duties due to being distracted elsewhere. ("Here he comes with his hard disk recovery rig and all the while we're over here kicking trees!") Tëg mûr has the lesser gravitas of the two expressions; when things are really bad, you use the plural.

Incidentally, a prefixed backslash to a noun form in a gloss indicates the metathesis that plural nouns frequently undergo.

So, Kgáweq’ permits incorporation of objects—generally for "simplex" objects, i.e. those not derived from a relativizing affix.
