Re: The glebst of gleb, V2.0
How do you see a phonology of a language with a given seed?

Re: Reverse Rominazation Challenge Thread, v2.0
This is actually Sakha my conlang. I want to edit the scratchpad, but I had no further material. (It seems like I'm stuck in phonology phase)

Re: Reverse Rominazation Challenge Thread, v2.0
The orthography is far from phonemic, as it distiguishes a certainly phonemic. I don’t understand this sentence. What do you mean by ‘it distinguishes a certainly phonemic’? Specifically, if it helps you, the problem is that you are using an adjective (namely ‘phonemic’) as if it were a noun, and t...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
You might consider, however, why or whether your species would lose their fur, assuming their ancestors were mammals. Fur is pretty good in a 10°C climate, naked skin less so. If they have no fur, however, I'd expect an insulating layer of fat, like walruses. (Or maybe a high metabolism that genera...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
Xwtek is hairier than horse and this may cause chafing problem even worse. Hmm, I think hair might actually decrease chafing. This is why people have pubic hairs. Or so I've heard. Thanks. That factor and the fact that Native American are sometimes seen wearing loincloth while riding horse, I decid...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
Also, is there any improvement using pants instead of (short-flapped) loincloth when riding a horse (Or in this conworld horse-dog, i.e. pony-sized dog. In Sakha, this creature is called xwtek)? If your thighs are naked, wouldn't they chafe against the animal? Okay. Then people are wearing pants wh...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
people were covered with grease and carry around a fire Uh... I see a problem with this plan. Oh, a nice catch. I actually tried to emulate how Fuegian (I use term Fuegian because I saw both Yaghan and Selknam also use the same strategy) fight cold. I probably miss something. Probably not grease. B...

Re: If natlangs were conlangs
Bilabialized bilabial consonant? How is anyone supposed to pronounce it? Did you actually mean Labiovelarized consonant? I expect it means with lip rounding, though it wouldn't be a surprise if they're also velarised. Weera Ostapirat's thesis writes the clusters /pj/, /pw/ and /pɣ/ for Paha (contra...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
I decided that my con-culture went shirtless because many of the monsters are bigger than people, and magic can bypass even metal armor (which is unavailable), let alone leather armor (which is available because of dragon typically have strong skin, so it's usually used to craft an armor). Also, is ...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
No guns either. I want my culture to look somewhat barbarian, except without any metal armor. (Barbarian is often depicted wearing a metal armor only protecting certain parts of the body, like shoulder and limb, but with torso exposed) I thought by having no metal armor whatsoever, it's more justifi...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
How do you justify fighting shirtless without armor, but having a metal weapon? My justification for my culture is, well, it's too early. Sakha doesn't have any technology for making any metal objects, and it has to be imported. Only the best and richest people have any metal weapon (mostly lance, r...
