Re: The Age of Sail - a collab conworld sprouting
The Turtleland, we have advanced silviculture and trade wood for fish, and the odd trinket. Here is my new claim with potential trade routes. Don't mind my old claim. What?? I don't get you. Fish? Everyone has freaking fish and there's no way you'd have more wood that Qicui. And I have no idea how ...

Re: The Age of Sail - a collab conworld sprouting
Being part of Sprahchftbund 2, the Qicui language has prenasalized plosives. That's all I got for them so far, so Qicui can take in a whole different set of features as dictated by Sprachcahbund as necessary. Just as long as I don't do a purely analytical/isolating or polysynthetic lang, that is. D...

Re: The Age of Sail - a collab conworld sprouting
On the sprachchchchththhchbunds, my suggestion is to divide Torco's #2 into two separate groups - not just two related subgroups -, one on the west and one on the east, because there's something of a gap of large sea separating them. I was refering to Rodlox's proposal, not yours. But, since my spr...

Scroll to section 3. Apparantly the main reason it's important is because of the effect snow conditions have on their reindeer hearding.

Hi turtlehead, Yeah, I'm actually reading up on Maori grammar as it seems to share a lot with what I am trying to do. E hia a te reo tau?

Re:
Okay I think something might have clicked. Do you think Welsh yn might be related to Cornish yn? As in "He is in the act of speaking". Well, I guess something like "he is in speak" would be the literal translation of "mae o'n siarad". No. Yn 'in' and yn [grammatical particle] are different words. T...

Re: Rain (n) Rain (vb) ~ Different Languages...?
All of Northern Germanic except for Icelandic use the stem regn- for both. Icelandic has 'regn' for the noun and 'rigna' for the verb. As a side-note, Faroese, for some reason, has more or less lost the old, Germanic word for 'snow' (in Faroese 'snjógvur') replaced with 'kavi', while all of the oth...
