Togs, tugs, ghegs, fafres, tontes!
Trolls, trolls, rock trolls, boorish-trolls, petty trolls!

Dewradia, mod gia. Ju svakre ghumi!
It's Dewrad who's the mod. He's not setting a good example!


Apparently in Hebrew "left groin" is also incorrect, so it can't be interference from that. Why do I think it sounds correct then? :s This is confusing me to bits.

[ObsequiousNewt]

Igemi, ce gia.
I don't know what it is.

Na bok bijankaa. Mirka bandhua, omora kameras ya gehamiria ya gehanaa.
Here is my left groin. I apologise for the light, my room is either too bright or too dark for the camera.

Astraios ha vût vonde di veste mierd.
Astraios has had enough of yo' shit.

Go ihunan ayami. Bok bijanka imuyoa, iyi igea.
This isn't my fault. I just said my left groin hurts.

Gaséi ofe apnōm elggonōm nómam arvóśa tām nafá?!
Why by all the whores' names of this world did I just opened that?!

I can feel it happening already...

no, I don't have a conlang; I'm working on one, but I did want to post that.

Ize, olvidesi di i l'Irlanís ani pronomnes arverviales personales:
Izambri, I forgot to tell you that Irlandic does have adverbial personal pronouns:

Ven quí con mé. > M'y ven.
come.IMP here with me.OBL > me.OBJ=ADV come
[mi.ˈven]
Come here with me.

Somnaian de té. > T'en somnaian.
dream.IMPF.3P of you.OBL > you.OBJ=ADV dream.IMPF.3P
[tɪn.som.ˈnɛjn] / [tʃɪn som.ˈnɛjn] if it's a girl.
They dreamt about you.

Prend car d'ilya. > L'en prend car.
take.IMP care of=she.NOM > she.OBJ=ADV take.IMP care
[lɪm.ˈpɾen kaɾ]
Take care of her.

Sometimes these are replaced by simple transitive constructions: la prend car, for instance.

[iy̯zʷgʷɛrɛmtʼɑg cʰɑmgɛ:θk]

hm, should figure out if i want anticipatory rounding when rounding contrast collapses before /u/ -- ikʷʼuɟɨ or iy̯kʷʼuɟɨ? probably the former so the diphthong distribution in the descendants doesn't get too weird, since there's basically no other source of /u/

come to think of it i could probably analyze out /u/ altoge--no wait no i couldn't it shows up before consonants that can't be rounded, damn. but since ɨ can't appear after rounded consonants and u neutralizes rounding distinctions... they only contrast after labials, laterals, retroflexes, and palatals. (word-initial u could just as well be called wɨ, no difference)
