Re: Pazmat

Wir thiya. [1.SG.ERG see-INFIN] "I am seen" I is patient here (it undergoes the action; except if the construction is valid only for the verb to see and not the default passive construction).

Re: Question - Languages with inconsistent spelling systems?

German orthography. Sometimes vowel + ‹h› for long vowel, sometimes double vowel and sometimes other digraphs, such as ‹ie› for long /i/.
And sometimes it remains unmarked: wir, lesen &c.
Also, final /o:/ is written as ‹ow› in some names.

Re: Post your conlang's phonology

Feles: I'll echo Drydic's comments about labiodental stops and nasals. Also the transcription of <fd ft fz fs fn> for dentals is really weird and not at all intuitive. Unless this is meant as a transcription of the native writing system and looks that way for historical reasons, my feeling would be...

Re: Sound Change Quickie Thread

Which of these would be the most likely to happen?

a. /sp st sk/ into aspirates, later fricatives
or
b. /p t k/ into aspirates, later fricatives; /sp st sk/ into plain /p t k/

It may also be combined with /b bʰ/ > /b v/ vs. /v b/, giving even more possibilites.
