Re: Yamda

Just noticed this was up! Maybe I’ll have something more substantive to say later, but for now: is ⟨m⟩ really /n/, or is that a typo?

Re: ZBB Conlang Relay 2026 [late signups still accepted]

What can I say? I like languages. :D (Also I've been itching for more things to translate into Phaeroian.) Well, it also had to be translated out of Moose-tache’s language — and having done that for a previous relay (out of Galician) I know just how long it can take… Honestly that was pretty straig...

I sent the torch to Pedant over 24 hours ago, but it's still sitting in my outbox. If it doesn't go through soon, I'll come up with a plan B. Received on my end! Just sent it along to Zju—although I'm not sure if it's left my outbox yet… You finished translating the whole torch in less than a day? ...

Re: ZBB Conlang Relay 2026 [late signups still accepted]

I sent the Entivara translation to Man in Space, basically to prove that there is progress. But the grammar and vocab will take a little bit before it's ready. I have toddler duties on top of work, so it's slow going. I'll go as fast as I can. Please, take your time. Family first. It's not like I'l...

The first post and the topic title both say ‘signups still accepted’.
In which case I’d like to sign up please! Using Phaeroian I think.
