Re: What was your first conlang like?

It's not hard to pronounce, really, if I'm reading it correctly.

Kinda Latinesque.

My first conlang was called Lashti, and it was very undeveloped. It was inspired by Japanese, Lakota and Esperanto. (I had just discovered Esperanto at the time)

Not sure if the current version of Ercunic will keep dual number or not, if it does, that'll make it harder to learn. I might end up collapsing some of the noun cases together a...

Re: The dream thread

I dreamt that I was Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones. I was struggling with something, but went to work at a strip club to pick up my pay and they gave me a huge wad of cash, and a slip that said I was owed a million more dollars due to a lawsuit the club won.
