And I have decided to toss them again because they are too cumbersome.

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

That was QUICK, man! I admire your speed and ruthlessness!

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 actually got an SCA to work today.

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.

It makes me very happy to hear this!

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.
