The Talloese flag is stunningly uncreative: http://sites.google.com/site/lane331/flag-m-b.png I made it in literally three seconds when I needed a flag (any flag would do) for some project when I first created the Talloes a couple of years ago. It's so simple that I'm shocked-- shocked! --that it's...

You guys are weird.

It just seemed off for a relatively primitive society to have an embassy with Eddy's ultra-modern/futuristic world. Though, since Verduria and Terra Pvlchra are both conworlds/concultures/conwhatever, couldn't you mutually agree on the span of time or space between the two? (Not that I'm asking you ...

Aren't there many years and/or universes between Verduria and Terra Pvlchra?

DF

That's great, Jar Jar.

DF

Hah, I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever see it.

Cool stuff.

DF

Funny, I'm not reminded of any other words...indeed, some other words remind of 'ktuvok'.

There have been other topics before about the ktuvok languages where I think zomp gave some ideas about ktuvok phonemes (not sure if he was serious though

). Try searching for them.

DF

Yes, there are sorcerers called shrayomi, I think, or something like that. (Please don't bash me if i got it incorrect).

And I think magic really exists on Almea, and doesn't have any scientific explanation.

I don't think I've set specific numbers, but here's what I recall. humans, flaids - about like ours ilii - over a thousand years elcari, murtani - 300 years (average) ktuvoks - somewhat shorter than humans I'm curious as to how the ilii's lifespan got so long. At first glance, 1000+ years doesn't s...

Cool....

DF

What's the average lifespan for each of the Almean sapients, including humans?

DF

...especially when you highlight it.

I'm reviving the thread for two reasons: 1, it's too useful to let die. 2, it may come in use for the ConlangResource.

DF

1) why are the person markers (head markers?) at the end of the word aren't in the same order as the ones at the beginning? It has different orders for the suffixes and prefixes. The prefixes mark the subject; the suffixes mark the object. Here are the orders: Prefix order: gender-animacy-number-pr...

The Flaidish Grammar wrote: max n rabbit
Which is funny also because it's one of the first words in Flaidish we ever found out about, and I've only just noticed the connection.

Heh, forgive my ignorance, but I don't get it...care to explain?

I might as well post this here...this is my quick attempt at a polylang:

hkoamem?hka:htheahko
hk-o-a-me-m?hka-aht-he-a-hk-o
Masc.-Anim.-Sing.-3S-to go-(direction)away-1S-Sing.-Masc.-Anim.
He is going away from me. (He is leaving.)

Is that plausible for a polylang?

DF

It's slightly based on Korean, IIRC.
