It looks like it should answer most of your questions. (I can send you a PDF if you can’t access it.)
I think this resource should be linked to from a “Resources” thread!

This is awesome, I love it.elgis wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 1:40 am I would like to share a project of mine: palasimi. It's a website with graphs of colexified concepts, similar to those in CLICS and A Conlanger's Thesaurus. It doesn't quite have as much linguistic information as CLICS, but every concept in palasimi is annotated with a short description, which I hope can be of use.

I was linked to this impressively accessible grammar of West Greenlandic: https://oqa.dk/assets/aitwg2ED.pdf. It’s a little eccentric in its presentation, but then again West Greenlandic is a little eccentric too, so it works well.

Re: Resources Thread
Yes, indeed. The author takes every opportunity to sneer at what he calls ‘Grammaric’ writing which uses too much terminology; I don’t think that’s right, but it is certainly true that the average paper is very dryly written.Travis B. wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 11:20 amFrom just reading the first few pages this seems much more "fun" than the average grammar.bradrn wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:22 am I was linked to this impressively accessible grammar of West Greenlandic: https://oqa.dk/assets/aitwg2ED.pdf.

(From what I can tell, his background seems to be CS rather than linguistics, which may or may not be a factor.)

Re: Resources Thread
Does anyone know how to contact the late Gary Shannon’s estate? He had a list (in-progress, sadly not completed before his passing) of derivation operations that I find useful, and others may too. I’d like to contact his next of kin to seek permission to expand on it and maybe publicly release it.

Try asking around computer hobby forums. He's known for being one of the first employees of Apple.

This is quite an interesting resource: 𝓔𝓿𝓸Sem, a database of diachronic semantic change. Could be enormously useful for my conlanging!
