Seed 1141204793:
* A "labiodental-velar lateral", /k͡x͡p͡fˡ/, with such allophones as [q͡χ͡p͡f], [g͡ɣ͡b͡vˡ], and [ʁ].
* Vowels and dorsal obstruents or nasals [k͡p g͡ɣ͡b͡vˡ ŋ͡m̩ ...] persistently assimilate in highness or uvularity to a following one of [k͡p g͡b k g k͡x͡p͡fˡ g͡ɣ͡b͡vˡ ɣ ɣˡ χ ʁ ʟ ŋ͡m̩ ŋ͡ɱ̩ ɲ̩ ŋ̩̟ ŋ̩]. Before an uvular fricative, vowels become ; back vowels become non-back; obstruent laterals become non-lateral; [g͡b ŋ͡m̩ ŋ͡ɱ̩] become [ʁ ɘ̃ ɘ̃]; [g] become [ʁ]; [g͡ɣ͡b͡vˡ] become [ʁ].
* Non-retroflex vowels and palatoalveolar stops or nasals [t͡ʃ d͡ʒ ṉ̩] become front [k̟ g̟ ɲ̩] before a front vowel. Affricates become velar.
* Vowels: /a ã i u ɲ̩ ŋ̩̟/, of which the last two are "Near-high" but placed above the high vowels

Seed 1141860069 gives labial-velar /ŋ͡m k͡p/, which contrast with labial-uvular /ɴ͡m q͡p/. There are also nasal approximants /β̞̃ ɰ̃/, but there's no /ɰ ŋ/. Also: "Non-pharyngeal uvular obstruents or nasals [ɴ͡m̥ ɴʷ̥ qʼ ...] become velar fronted [ŋ͡m̟̥ ŋʷ̟̥ kʼ̟ ...] after a front high vowel. Non-pharyngeal unrounded uvular obstruents or nasals [ɴ͡m̥ ɴ q ...] become velar fronted [ŋ͡m̟̥ ŋ̟ k̟ ...] after a front vowel." But there's no mention of pharyngeality anywhere else.

It also has allophonic labial-velars and labial-uvulars: /sipɴɑ/ [siɢ͡bɴɑ]

Seed 1148414208 has /ʀ̆ʷ/. And two long voiced plosives, which can appear word-finally, but no other gemination.

Seed 1148250458 has a series of pharyngealized velars /ŋˤ kˤ gˤ xˤ/... and then a pharyngealized palatal glide, /ɪ̯ˤ/, which contrasts with /j/. This is actually an interesting feature... but there are no other pharyngeals. Also the vowel system is /a i ɯ u/.

Seed 1149200548: a vowel system of /æ a i/. (Cev, this otherwise looks Siberian; go steal it. Also it has 11 consonants.)

I love gleb, and what were the 11 consonants?

I can't work out how to load a particular seed.

There was a rather nice one on Reddit the other day. OP didn't give the seed, though.

(Bare in mind, I think this seed is actually quite nice and I might save it somewhere. Love its Afro-Indo feel).

That is an interesting Afro Indic like gleb language. I wonder about the allophones.

Now I want 71 consonants.

Nort, why do all the others get better gleb than me?

Once, I got a bilabial flap and trill that contrasted. The flap was just a bilabial trill with a breve on it.

QUADRA POST!

What's this Gleb? (Besides an Old Russian personal name?)

It's a perl script written by one Alex Finkmeier that generates Random Phonologies. You can get it here or try this version that runs on his site.

Run it from the command line with -r <seed>.

Reload more. One in every fifteen or twenty are interesting.

Think I got the s/[+labial]/[+velar]/g version of Bloppabop (or whatever it’s called now... Poswa? Pabappa?)...

Question: What the fuck does gleb mean?

Why would it mean anything?

gleb /ɡlɛb/ (past tense glob or glebbed) 1. vt to baptize a duck with, while wearing rubber-soled shoes 2. n any of a range of thiocyanates used for said baptism. (From Middle English gleben, loaned from Old Norse gleba, from Proto-Germanic *glebaną, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰlebʰ-, *ǵʰl̥bʰ. Cognate with Ancient Greek κλάφομαι ("I massage with a spatula"), Latin globeō ("I impale lengthwise with a tuning-fork"), and Old Armenian xkʿoy ("I am")).

Syllable structure:

(C1)(C2)(C3)(C4)V

C1: one of /gʷ ʔ ɓ̰ ɠ̰ d͡ʑ f ʃ x ɾ/
C2: a consonant other than an affricate (/t͡sʰ t͡s t͡sʼ d͡z d͡ʑ/) or one of /b d g s/ (/b d g s/)
C3: a consonant other than /ʃ/
C4: one of /gʷ d͡ʑ ɾ/
V: a vowel

seed 1223950889

In seed 1096034691, it gives a phonology with 61 consonants. 38 of them are stops.

seed 1115923172 has a syllabic pharyngealized velar nasal with a length distinction.

^ mostly putting these here in case anyone wants to use them

1223460443:
/mpʰ mp mpʼ mb mɓ̰ pʰ p pʼ ɓ̰/
/i ɯ u æ a ɒ/

1218022923 has creaky-voiced implosives and /hʷ/, and this:
[*]Voiceless glottal fricatives [h hʷ] persistently become non-fricative non-resonant glottal fricatives and assimilate in place of articulation to a following non-labial obstruent.

What on earth is a "non-resonant glottal fricative"?

What the heck is a "non-fricative glottal fricative", I'd rather ask.

My guess is the intention is to distinguish between genuine fricatives and the more common bare phonation represented by /h/.

Tried downloading it and it wouldn't work from the command line. Do I have to download the whole folder or something?
