Zompist Bboard Again

Quick question: I assume that a single dash means affixation, and an equals sign means cliticisation, but what does a double equals sign (e.g. as in ‘pa==Kkulu-Kkoro’) mean? - : separates morphemes, generally . : In the Swahili dictionary, some English words are glossed with multiple Swahili words....

Imitation French Beginner Conlang 5 9 2020 (Not entirely by Me) Here's a conlang by me but also by someone else with the initials that sound like "victor". The part this person made is actually a "pseudo-conlang", a "re-lex" of English. I'll make some changes so that it...

Wow, good job on this one. I even made a "future English" conlang once or a few times in the past few years.

I like this, reminds me of the story of Cellachan regaining Cashel from the forces of Lochlann. I like Irish mythology and such and have studied it a bit over the years. I've studied a lot of Celtic languages the past 5 years or so: Middle Welsh, Old Irish. That's pretty much it. A survey of Cornish.

I thought I'd share a short story I wrote; just a bit of Tarandim mythology. Here it is: http://sumneology.org/prophetess (Edit: moved somewhere more suitable than Google Drive). I could not get the link to work but I wish I could read this. I like your other writings and they're very inspiring to ...

Here's some really nice modern art for the Old Mali Empire and Timbuktu that I found. It looks pretty accurate to me, for all I know or remember.

Here's another example of the Bantu conlang I'm translating historic texts into it. ( This is a most interesting exercise. Again, the purpose of it is to make a cheap and easy approximation of the actual language of the The Epic of Son Jara (1960s Mandinka language). Which I sadly lack because while...
