Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Is there any guideline on how to gloss numbers for bases other than 10?

Kudielt lis seholenet zeyen-ze nus "ten.ten", zeyen-ce nus "ten.eleven", alio zeyen-ge nus "ten" e "ten.zero".
You can represent twenty-two as "ten.ten", twenty-three as "ten.eleven", and twenty-four as "twenty" or "twenty.zero".

Disclaimer: I'm not very good at glossing, this is an educated guess.

I wish to compare two conlangs with the same sentence. Tell me what you think:

Go ni languya.
Teni e landeze si.
I have a language.

Soke tensels lis kale ecie naralek?
Pensis ka gulab ace mtare vis?
What do you think about this sentence?

I don't think that it's a good idea for an a priori conlang to borrow words from real languages quite as obviously as they have done here.

Hey GP, our birthdays are similar. Mine is one day before yours.
I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke
What kind of cookie?
