Zompist Bboard Again

just a Klingon script I'm working up

The fluency thread today gave me reason to decide on the Tautisca word for "head" after dithering for years on what root to base it. That's quite a basic word...kudos on finding the motivation. I really like the look of this. Thank you! More new words: pikya – scaffolding; frame; rack; fr...

...these people protesting won't vote or will vote third-party... It's worse than that. The blindingly stupid majority of these rubes think that by not voting, or voting third party, they're actually effectuating substantive political change. IMHO it's a symptom of a lack of civic understanding. Mo...

If you don't agree to getting punched with my left hand, it's your fault when I punch you with my right. Why is not getting punched off the table? Because fuck you, that's why! Ideas of false equivalence like this are why Trump will become God Emperor of America, because people like you won't vote ...

Anyone who believes that Trump and Biden are equivalent (or who considers not voting for Biden over Gaza) deserves the coming Trump dictatorship that will result from their stupidity. Another scenario - one that seems increasingly plausible given SCOTUS's recent shenanigans - is that Trump skates o...

Polls have to be taken with some skepticism... This is very dependent on the methodology of the poll, who is conducting it, and how it's funded. I would say the majority of modern political polling should be met with a healthy amount of skepticism until those questions have been answered. The propa...

I've added some numeral variations, this section will be expanded and included in the next updated Omyatloko document toward the end of April.

Impressive so far, both esthetically, and linguistically, IMHO! Well said! Thank you both very much. Kala has reached a point where all updates are incremental and sporadic. I don't have any current plans for any major updates and have begun to dedicate more time to Amal, but the support and intere...

Klingon Alphasyllabary This script was inspired by research conducted in preparation for the Kopikon Conlang Conference held on September 23rd, 2023. During the development of my presentation on ‘How to make a good script’ I was studying the Ithkuil script made by John Quijada. During this study, I...
