Re: Altrunian Conlang Scratchpad: Additives
Explaining it again, because I agree with smii that you don't seem to have understood it at all. As smii already said, an augmentative indicates a greater version of something. To oversimplify, augmentatives are more or less equivalent to the word "big". So in a language with augmentatives, the augm...

Re: Altrunian Conlang Scratchpad: Inventory questions
How you transcribe a sound in writing and how it's exactly pronounced are two entirely different matters. Words like "monophthong" and "diphthong" apply only to sounds, not to letters, so using the term "monophthong" for a phoneme that is transcribed with a single letter is indeed incorrect.

Re: Altrunian Conlang Scratchpad: Inventory questions
Sure, you can add /ɔɪ̯/ or a similar diphthong. What is "monophthongised" supposed to mean in this context?

Re: Altrunian Conlang Scratchpad: Allophones of [h]
Yeah, all that's needed for such allophony is a vowel inventory having both front and non-front vowels.
Am I right in assuming that this is supposed to mean that there is [äɪ̯] but no ? Your phrasing isn't really clear.

Re: Kinship: children of cousins?
In Dutch we have the words achterneef and achternicht for this. Their literal meanings are "behind-male.cousin" and "behind-female.cousin" respectively.

Re: Vowel deletion in adjectives only?
The opposite would be much more likely. Is there any reason why you specifically want adjectives to drop their final vowels, or would you also be fine with another class of words doing so? Because in that case, you could drop word final short vowels and make nouns the consonant-final class.
