Are these correct?

Questions or discussions about Almea or Verduria-- also the Incatena. Also good for postings in Almean languages.

Are these correct?

Post by Oric »

For my list of "I am a large potato" in many languages, I attempted to work it out in varios Almean languages. Are they in any form of correctness?

Verdurian- Se ai boly?sh? susluoma
Barakhinei- S? s? k?shk? (potato)
Isma?n- Se sa boze (potato)
Cuēzi- Sēo bōye (potato) sāi.
Axunasin- Siu dai (potato) zoi.

Hmmmm... we need words for potato.
I would do the rest of the languages, but I'm getting tired...

All of these languages are pro-drop, so the pronoun for 'I' would be omitted.

Cu?zi and probably Axunashin had no words for potato; the Almean equivalent is native to Uytai and wasn't known in ancient times in Erel?e. Maybe you could use a carrot instead. :)

Just found this thread, and decided to try my hand at it:

Proto-Eastern: *Morawtu asītse sawi
CARROT-acc LARGE-acc BE-1sg
Cadhinor: MORUTh BOLGES SAI
CARROT LARGE BE-1sg

I used carrot for both, but I had to retrace the PE word. I don't think it's right, but it would end up as MORUTh.

Nicely reconstructed. It doesn't fit well with other PE words, however, and I think I'm going to declare it a Methaiun borrowing. The Kebreni is morthih'.
