Re: Conlang Random Thread

i've usually seen it described as mood: obligative mood, necessitative mood, maybe some other names. i can't really see it as an aspect or tense.

Re: Random phonological inventories thread 2.0

just to be clear, the square brackets is the variations, not the entire realized form? i.e. almost every consonant has a voiced/unvoiced form and every vowel has a rounded/rounded form, not that every consonant is an affricate and not that every vowel is a diphthong?

Isn't the average separation between the two stars in an S-type system supposed to be at least twice as much (120-600 AU)? the third star seems fine, so im wondering, is there a system that idk about that surya and mitra fall under?
