i was forgetting to look at the chapter titles but now that i am, they really look like alternate-universe mountain goats song titles

due to backer rewards having been delivered for the far roofs i now have jenna moran's poetry game about farmland financialization. hype
ricardo darín’s kinda hot
a problem: how to keep track of the fact that the analogue to the reconstructed proto-indo-european sky-god in this conlang's speakers' ancient religion is (loosely speaking) a trans woman when i'm not currently really recording facts about the culture of its speakers (except insofar as they might be inferred from the lexicon or sample texts)
solution:
nobihél (b-h-l): nf. a sort of priestess to Bihêl that will be so popular among tw if this setting ever develops a tumblr-analogue
awkward moment where i realized that a bunch of my derivational patterns violate my phonotactic rule against having a coda in syllables with long vowels
just saying that was not the best choice of examples to follow with the comment about some languages utilizing both
«English places adjectives before nouns, as in black cat, while a language like Spanish places adjectives after nouns, as in gato negro, literally “cat black.” There are a number of languages that utilize both orderings.»
yes, like, spanish. and english.
nice thing about triconsonantal-root and pattern morphology in this conlang is that every root gives me dozens of words. bad thing about triconsonantal-root and pattern morphology is ever root require me to decide what the dozens of words mean.
@Lady do you have thoughts on notating Semitic-style triconsonantal root morphology in glosses
food
how common is plum jam in the US? i feel like i do not remember ever seeing it. here it is very common
is it making the same consonant twice in a row? is it a single consonant but longer? does it matter? who can say
i think maybe nobody in the whole world has ever been sure what exactly a geminate consonant is
possibly undesirable conlanging outcomes, bodily fluids
oops, maybe i should either not have chosen "p-s-ŋ" as the root for liquids and also decided to have most patterns for forming nouns insert "i" between the first two consonants of the root.
