And there was me hoping that was you posting them. Good luck with the replacement – I hope they are more satisfying

Thank you! I have decided to keep things as simple as possible (without falling into minimalism, though, I want some richness and complexity, but not too much). For instance, Proto-Hesperic now has only four noun cases, after up to twelve in some earlier drafts. Also, Proto-Hesperic is meant to be closely related to Hittite, which also has a rather uncomplicated verb morphology.

That said, I am usually a rather slow conlanger, finding it difficult to decide on something. And sometimes, I come up with something but soon find a problem with it and discard it again.

I had an extremely productive day conlanging today—and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with doing sound changes. (The only reason I halted was because I had to go to the studio.)

Now I’m curious to know which SCA worked so well for you.

Ultimately, Brassica seems to fit my needs best.

I finally got this template to do everything I wanted it to do:
https://linguifex.com/wiki/Template:Vrk ... e/G-strong

It can account for a root's "weakness" and conjugate appropriately. Which also means I don't need three to twelve additional templates to account for weak roots.
