Re: Happy Things Thread
It's 650€~$800? It may not be a piano but it's an expensive chunk of plastic, sand and copper. Just I don't see the point in getting it if you aren't absolutely sure you'll use it. Nobody starts from 500ml tubes of oil paint, they start with pencils and charcoal. If ypu aren't sure whether you'd be ...

Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread
I'm thinking of doing a-umlaut in the form of /ø ø̃ ø: ø̃:/ [ɶ ɶ̃ ɶ: ɶ̃:] / _${a ã}, any precedents outside the old {i u} {e o} / _${a ã}?

Re: Vowel Systems
Distinguishing /ɑ ɒ/ without length differences is pretty rare, and even rarer is a three-way contrast between /æ a ɑ/. I'm not sure a four-way between /æ a ɑ ɒ/ even exists, and if it did there'd almost certainly other things going on (e.g. /æ/ is really [ɛ] and /ɑ/ is [ɑ:]). Earlier old West Nors...

It has lots of allophony that is basically useless because the phonotactics doesn't allow those same clusters needed for allophony. ...

Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread
As for 1) you could either drop the rounding or make it into an offglide like [pʷa pwa] and then you can do all sorts of stupid stuff with it and 2) I think yeah it could cancel out

Re: The Great Proto-Indo-European Thread
A side question - in which languages and families are the cases best preserved in terms of their number? Probably Balto-Slavic, with seven cases in most modern languages, and Armenian with six to seven agglutinated cases. Sanskrit had eight, older Latin had seven, Avestan had eight. Nobody has more...

Re: The glebst of Gleb
I know it happens, but it's kinda like Nivkh vowels. If you can make it work, all the better for you. Gleb complaint: the thing generates baroque allophony rules like: "Palatal stops or nasals [cʰ c ɟ ɲ] persistently become alveopalatal [t͡ɕʰ t͡ɕ d͡ʑ ṉʲ] before a palatoalveolar obstruent or nasal.
