I'd also add that a participle is a type of non-finite verb, and a non-finite verb is one that doesn't possess every grammatical category that verbs are usually marked for in a given language. For example, Latin participles have tense and voice, but not person -- they depend on the person-marking o...

But the -erek and -ince look more like Finnish infinitives to me because they function as adverbials. For example in Y?r?yerek geldim is y?r?yerek , by walking, clearly a manner adverbial. And gelen is an adjective: that's what the book I have calls them: "-en adjectives", "-dik adjectives"... Does...

Well, <exit> has the stress before the <x>, and <example> has it [after]. Maybe that's it? I thought of that, but then I remembered "exciting". Does anyone pronounce that with a [gz]?

I have a collection of all the different sounds I've seen it used for: /ks/ /kS/ /x/ /G/ /X/ /X\/ /G\/ /?\/ /?/ /h/ /D/ /4/ /ts/ /dz/ /ts`/ /tS/ /s/ /z/ /Z/ /S/ /s\/ /C/ /c/ /|\|\/ and even /_?\/ when following a vowel... Twenty-five .... If you'll count the Greek letter <X>, it was used ...

Xx'xxx`x~x.x;xx-xxx+x=xx! [ksSaG4\|\|\edZis\oDuC?Ahts`cE?\Isz] (This means "My ex expects excessive sex" in my new polysynthetic conlang, "X"). I like that phrase so much I'll use it as a sig. Hee hee hee! :mrgreen: Thanks. Are there many other people who've released material in a jokelang before r...

25+ is rather impressive. We could have a whole alphabet made of just <x> (vowels to be marked with diacritics).
