Decided to run a revised version of 2L phonology through this. Not sure I'm doing it right :oops: /n ŋ ɴ/ /p t k ʔ/ /h/ /ʋ ɹ j/ /a i u/ Three tone system, C(A)V(A)C or C(A)VA syllables where A is an approximant. 1. Absence of any phonemic POA for stops further back than velar [half mark for only one...

Redraft of the original investigation, revised for new sources, betterness and lesswrongness.

An grammar, expanding considerably, with much made up shit, on game-Dorfish

This is on hiatus for now, but by no means dead (yet). I've been ill for a while and just haven't had the reserves of sustained concentration I need to research and put together the lists.

Edit: Also, it seems curious to me that <th> should be permitted as a coda consonant when <c> is not, assuming that they are, in fact, both aspirated stops. I would posit that, since the author of the transliteration is an English speaker, <th> may, in fact, represent /θ/, and possibly also /ð/, in...

Not happy with these. Styles too mixed, categories terrible. I'm leaning towards doing a major reorganization of plant categories, shifting algae/seaweed to Genesis, tubers to Anthesis and... see where I can go from there. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Anguipes/VG%20Logography/epiphytesv01...

I have skipped over Anthesis' "herbs" for the moment, because that will be a huge dustbin taxon :P I also have a horrible feeling my research here has been too patchy/focused on crops. If anyone can think of a bulbous/tuberous/corm etc. plant that is a forb and not a vine, epiphyte or water plant an...

...Aaaand non-coniferous trees! Dividing up plants is hard because there are so fucking many . I've ended up basing things on the fruit (in the botanical sense) they produce, which I will hopefully be able adapt to the rest of the flowering plants and save a bit of work. Meaning a large range of qui...

As requested, fish! Again! In case anyone was worrying, nothing was lost except a bit of post formatting and editing notes for readability. I have local copies of everything, because I'd be completely crazy to keep a project this big solely in a forum thread. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/...

We all know Eddy's life is a constant struggle to resist his white supremacist urges, as it is for every Scots-Irish oh god I can't even finish this idiocy.

Why can't Hubris be -rʔ? Still hanging here :( Oops, sorry! Because I can't just assign things like that, they're predefined. I have a list of all the roots in a specifically derived order, and a list of all the meanings (or rather god/god/god subsets, as most meanings aren't yet assigned). Put the...

The Price of Magic is Magic, & the Price of not using Magic is even more Magic. Creation is only kept to the Divine Order by sending Mana back outside Reality to whence It came. Mana constantly creeps into the lower Spheres from the Nadir, the sinful Nature of the Lower Creation, & from Demons and S...

This script is going to take me a million years, and I'm cool with that. These are quite elaborate for script purposes. Outside of very formal use they'd be simplified considerably, probably down to a single branch and/or other distinguishing feature. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Anguipes...

Why do you assume I'm complaining? I just pointed to a resource for the desired information.

Facetiously.

Any chance we'll get to see the mythical creatures assigned to Hubris and Hypostasis? Hypostasis: probably. Hubris: probably not. Hubris is left out of the script for cosmological reasons, but I will still need to define her stuff for conworlding purposes. (Though a strong possibility is to have he...

Indeed, while it's nice to have all these done, this isn't a conscript yet. I explained a rough idea of how things will work in this post . My current task is some boring number-crunching, to see how well what I've got covers the sets of initials and finals. Then I'll decide how many more glyphs I n...

Well, I accidentally ate my fish post, but ANIMALS DONE. You can see the entire lot HERE (zoom for full size) I've also cleaned up a lot of the lines, added a hornbill to the birds (replacing the hoopoe), and corrected some details (like the beaver's ear). Any comments/criticism welcome :) There are...

I was just looking back over this thread and noticed something- are primates absent from your world? I'm not quite sure what to do about them, and humans. Logically (well, Vana-logic) they should be sixteenth set (angels being the first, then the 14 here plus primates), but due to Vana cosmic histo...

I am taking note of criticism, but I've decided to plow ahead and get the animals done before I go back and rework things. :wink: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/Anguipes/VG%20Logography/ungulatesv01_zpsa57ba3cf.gif gvv̄rg - Ungulates xrr̀r - Antelope (Kinesis) Represented by a Thomson's Gaz...

Hmm, I seem to have lost a couple of details, like the beaver's ear, somewhere along the line. You should show the gecko's distinctive fingers and toes. I tried. Kinda. I've been going with low-detail limbs and I'm not entirely sure how much more I can show without breaking too much out of style or ...
