Har du en katana? Er katanaer ikke dyre; jeg trodde det er så men jeg veit ikke så sikkert. Hvor lenge har du øved(?)
Do you have a katana? Aren't katanas expensive; I thought that was so but I'm not so sure. How long have you been practising

Oh, fancy! I definitely wanted to buy this when you announced you'll be making it a year or so ago, and in December or so I'll probably buy it (if nothing stops me). I'm fanboying hah

"Ahorn" looks terribly odd. The etymology I've seen derive it from "*axurnaz" which gave OHG "āhorn". PGmc. <*h> usually gave German <ch> /x/, mostly before consonants ("Tochter", "Tucht") or <h> in a stressed syllable (like "Behuf") or generally dropped ("Schuh", "ziehen")

I solicited these from him:

ljóð
hljóð(ið)

Kinda sounds palatal to me but I'm not really sure; what would you say?

@Vecfaranti, I think there's pretty much no distinction medially anyway because <b d g> /p t k/ medially become <v ð g> /v ð γ/ except after /l n (m?)/ as far as I've noticed where they're /p t/ and <ng> is /ŋ/. The guy I've been skyping with pronounces <hlj lj> as /ʎ̝̊ ʎ/ so I kinda thought the res...

A dialect of German with r > q, contrastive vowel pharyngealization, one aspirated consonant, and apparently no low vowels.

That is magical

This morning I was awoken by a dream of me visiting a family that had me hidden from French Nazis in another dream, and I came back to see them as their baby has gotten sick. The awakening part was that the family moved in with relatives to a different home and the moment I went in, I was assaulted ...

Yeah, my bad about <au>, kinda slipped in; I was thinking of [œʏ]. As for voiceless segments I think they're also somewhere analysed as /h+C/. What about palatals? AFAIR there's words like <gjóla(n)> <(að) góla> that contrast them but it's only like before back vowels. I also remember the pair <hljó...

Hey, English applies case to an entire NP instead of each constitutent element

Isn't it supposed to be sth. like: /p pp b bb t tt d dd k kk g gɡ/ /f v θ (ð) s ss h/ /m mm n nn ŋ/ /r rr l ll j/ /i ɪ ʏ u/ /ɛ œ ɔ/ /a/ /aɪ aʊ ɔʊ ɔʏ ɛɪ/ The allophony is sick tho Edit: added /ð/ in brackets to account for several compounds, not sure if that works but hey <Alþingi> has a medial /θ/. ...

Vecfaranti introduced the idea (albeit in the form of a question) and I kinda took that the rest was about that. Heh sorry

I'm not sure I've read this correctly (plus it's late) but if I have... are you people seriously proposing that /h ŋ/ are actually one phoneme?

Ah well, let's go with the fad Gojogohxônǫq (/gojogo̥hˈoːnõʔ/) /t d k g ʔ/ <t d k g q> /t͡s t͡ʃ d͡ʒ~d͡z/ <ts tṣ dz> /s~ʃ h/ <ṣ h> /n/ <n> /ɹ j w/ <r j w> Unstressed: /i e a u o/ <i e a u o> /iː eː aː uː oː/ <ī ē ā ū ō> /ẽ ã õ/ <ę ą ǫ> /ẽː ãː õː/ <ę̄ ą̄ ǭ> Stressed: /i e a u o/ <í é á ú ó> /iː eː aː ...

Ayer j'etait travaillant avec le bokken. Si c'etait un katana, j'aurais perdue touts mes éxtremité. Yesterday I was working with the bokken. If it were a katana, I would have lost all my limbs. Hvorfor? Øvde du ikke nok med katanaen/bokkenen? Pass på! Det finnes sjansen at du skal virkelig skade de...

Jeg mener at norsk lyder nydelig men jeg forstår lite :D Good day I started learning Norwegian Bokmål three weeks ago and I think that I'm n...

Gatas Parlament - Hokus Pokus

Love me the smell of anarchism in the morning

Well, the idea's to make a decent early Old Norse dictionary using previously-made dictionaries and glossaries, and relying on Finnur Jónsson's monumental work, "De Gamle Eddadigte" and filling the gaps in using the Codex Wormianus and Codex Regius facsimiles and the occasional parallel digital facs...

I've been thinking of making a dictionary or glossary of a certain dead Indo-European language with a significant corpus and with living descendants even though it's been done countless times before. To this end I've acquired a Japanese-English dictionary, a handful of Latin-English dictionaries and...

This document posits the concept that all PIE roots were phonosthemic, i.e., that each phoneme in a word has an associated meaning. For example, initial /*p/ means 'body' / 'accumulation', and final /*n/ means 'complete' / 'end' / 'sound'. I call bullshit, without knowing anything about Indo Europe...

:> Verbs Finally this part of the game. Verbs in hBaṣvî are marked for person, tense, mood and number. They are divided into just three conjugation classes: type one ablauting, type two ablauting and regular verbs. A few irregular verbs exist as well. Verbs are consistent in their conjugation class....

I'm interested
