Re: Altrunian Conlang Scratchpad: Inventory questions

IIRC ʍ > f does occur in some Scots varieties. The thing is that it seems like you intentionally seek out rare or otherwise highly unlikely sound changes and have a poor understanding of how sound change happens (it does not happen because a language is "supposed to" be a certain way, and people hav...

None of those - look at what natlangs, e.g. English or North Germanic, have done with /ʍ/~/hʷ/~/xʷ/, i.e. turn it into [w], [ʋ], [v], [kv], or [k].

Re: Altrunian Conlang Scratchpad: Inventory questions

Afwia is the current spelling of Alfia following /ɑ/ merging into /ɔ/ (later changed back to /ɑ/) and /l/ merging into /w/. Is ['ɑf.fwa] or ['ɑf.w:a] a more natural outcome, considering the new geminiation rule? ['ɑf.fwa] is probably more likely than ['ɑf.w:a], considering it is common (but not uni...

Re: Sound Change Game

Eliding or assimilating everything ruins this game. Of course, the opposite, tacking the same inflectional endings or clitics onto words each iteration, over and over, is also tiresome (something that I am admittedly guilty of).
