Re: Double inflection?

Does a possessor normally come after the possessed. Yeah, possession is formed with the possessor in the locative case as an adjective, and adjectives come after the nouns they modify. Do you mean, for example, like if a adjective is already in another case because of it's meaning ... as in this fi...

Double inflection?

In my conlang, nouns can be treated like adjectives, e.g.: rámi: cat messá: friend rámi messá: cat who is also a friend Adjectives typically agree with the nouns they modify in case and number. But if a noun inflected for one of these is used as an adjective, and the noun it modifies is also inflect...

Re: The Miniature Conlangs Thread

In my conlang, the singular and plural merged in nouns, leaving the dual to take over as the plural. But in verbs and pronouns, the singular and plural remained distinct, and the dual instead took on a meaning of conflict or contrast. e.g. ətə̄ rað iš ətə́ji ətə̄ ra-ð is-j ətə́j-i PN.1p.DIR go-PRT.1...

Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread

Is there any way to get from implosives to prenasalized stops?

Alternatively, does:
ɓ -> ʔb -> pb -> p: (and likewise for other implosives)
look plausible?
