Interesting; that sounds like an interesting search for examples. But it makes sense, since the umlaut started as a tiny blackletter e written over the vowel. []

I think another problem is that some aren't aware of the distinction between diaeresis and umlaut. I recently read a fantasy novel, the start of a series, called Dwarves. The author is German, so it's in translation, but it's a fairly good read, especially towards the end. Standard Tolkienian fantas...

I was part of a collaborative conworld called Our New World (Onwe for short) at one point...people just sort of lost interest, I suppose. Was great while we were all working on it together, though. We started to write the history/mythology, but then that just became something of a roleplay and I gue...

Hey, well that's the way things work, I guess.

Peace,

True, but it has no evolutionary advantage (does it?). A male who's attracted to females with some feature that aids survival will probably have more survivng offspring than a male who is attracted to some arbitrary feature. Sexual selection is a special case, in that it doesn't work by making the ...

hey, ye receive not because ye ask not.

/me wants, furthermore, full grammars and lexicons for all these languages.

This is cool. I had a friend once who was Catalan; he'd help me with my Spanish over AIM. I think the way nouns (substantives) are handled according to gender is really cool, at least the ones for which it can go either way. It takes away the guesswork as to whether or not to use el or la, which rea...

Yeah. As for shrubbers, though, I agree that every culture needs a shrubber

They allow for printing of books. As I read it, all you have to do is upload a .pdf file of the book, plus probably cover art, etc.

he might publish it over cafepress.com, though the number of zbbers with credit cards (of which I am not a member) is very small.

That's the one thing that must just sorta develop in a conscript. You have to let the symbols flow naturally from words to signs.

Not really. Not only is Mark a he, but the general English pronoun is traditionally "he."

Whoa man, that sentence is "messing" with my brain I see what you mean...I thought Zomp was better at grammar than that. Nothing ungrammatical bout it tho. Of course there is. Illegal use of "they." Meh, I don't see anything wrong with that... I've used it in the same paper as "Yea verily" :mrgreen...

I think Mark should have ZOMPIST.COM mix-CDs manufactured with a lyrics supplement writen in IPA.

In the Netherlands we have our own service for that, so we don't have to go to a land as trivial as Canada :P Who are you calling 'trivial', Dutch boy??? By the way, it was Canada that liberated you during WWII. Not the States, not the UK; Canada . ehrm.....History check, possibly? Canada's just so...

7 x 9 = 42! 1 + 1 = pi! 3 + 2 = 5! actually, 7*9 IS 42, 1+1 can equal pi in certain dimensions. Kindly Elaborate. Ghost :roll: Don't take him too seriously. You know JT; as soon as the parents leave it's out with the peach schnapps. Now really....you must understand that in transcendent mathematics...

You mean one year, certainly? wtf, I swear that number changed since I saw it. Ah well, everyone knows the farther you get into math the more you forget how to add and subtract. 7 x 9 = 42! 1 + 1 = pi! 3 + 2 = 5! actually, 7*9 IS 42, 1+1 can equal pi in certain dimensions. I can't see a way to make...
