Also, reworked Sodemeresh will be getting a new replacement number system soon.

Sorry, but Janko does not accept updates to number systems.

In my experience it’s quite the opposite. He’ll happily update numbers.

That's a very obscure reference nowadays, is that guy even alive anymore? :D

You clearly haven't put any new conlangs online recently, or you would know within about 30 minutes.

Actually, I haven’t gotten any messages from him lately. But I do still see his name listed as ‘Online’ here from time to time.

Same.

He messaged me not long ago asking me for numbers for 'A language' before I had even given it a name.

[jal]

Mmm, I wonder if he ever asked me for the numbers in Sajiwan... Certainly not for those of Fake Latin and Fake Germanic.

You should see the disaster that is my sanakelat (books).

I really like the Old Persian Case System so I have been trying to make a case system that emulates it.

I think it looks naturalistic, though perhaps the influence is a little too blatant.

I can't decide what nouns fall under what subclass, though I want to say that humans and gods are always of the -Vm subclass while non-humans and pronouns are of the long vowel subclass. I kind of also wanted to add a subclass of the neuter characterized by nominative -ar that would be used for animals and children (e.g. asm-ar "eagle" and simb-ar "child") though I know not what the other case endings or its plural would be.

This case paradigm is sort of the Old or Pre-Vrkhazhian case system, before/while some significant sound changes occured (e.g. elision of glides in most places and the merging and de-affrication of coronals such that /t͡ʃ t͡ʃʼ d͡ʒ ʃ/ becomes /s sʼ z s/ and /t͡ɬ t͡ɬʼ d͡ɮ ɬ/ becomes /ɬ ɬʼ ɮ ɬ/)

Of course you don't need a seperate plural paradigm, it could just conflate with the "normal" neuter.

Of course you don't need a seperate plural paradigm, it could just conflate with the "normal" neuter.

But there's no such thing as a "plural paradigm" vs "singular paradigm"

Since you don't know, may I take the liberty to suggest having as a subclass of the -ah/ā class, with the only differences being the nominative in ar and maybe a nominate/vocative plural in -āra?

If I've done it right, asmar would have the following paradigm (apologies for the terrible table).

Code: Select all

    SIG    PLU
NOM asmar asmāra
VOC asmar asmāra
ACC asmaš asmāša
GEN asmaš asmāya
EQU asmāli
