That's quite a startling vowel set!

This one caught my eye a while back:
seed 1211814913. I struggle with theAttempting the three velar lateral stops (highlighted).


Phonemic inventory
Consonants

m, n̻, mb, tʰ̻, t̻, nd̻, kʰ, k, ŋg, k͡xʰˡ, k͡xˡ, ŋg͡ɣˡ, f, h, ɹ̻, , ʟ

Vowels

i, ĩ, u, ũ, ɛ, ɛ̃, ɔ, ɔ̃, a, ã



Syllable structure
(C1)(C2)V(C3)(C4)
C1: a consonant other than a consonant lateral (/ŋg͡ɣˡ k͡xʰˡ k͡xˡ ʟ/)
C2: a consonant
V: a vowel
C3: a consonant other than a consonant lateral (/ŋg͡ɣˡ k͡xʰˡ k͡xˡ ʟ/)
C4: a velar consonant; i.e. one of /ŋg kʰ k ŋg͡ɣˡ k͡xʰˡ k͡xˡ ʟ/

Gleb question: Let's say I use gleb to generate a phonology. Then, I use a word generator to make some new underlying forms from the phonological inventory. Now I want to generate the corresponding surface forms. Is there a way gleb can do this for me, or will I have to use another sound change applier and type in all of that gleb seed's allophony rules?

As far as I'm aware, gleb cannot do that.

PRAISE THE GLEB

This actually made me think about a hypothetical post-Clarkeian society worshiping a conlang-generating AI as their lord and switching to the most recently generated language as a part of the worship.
The conlanger formerly known as “the conlanger formerly known as Pole, the”.

If we don't study the mistakes of the future we're doomed to repeat them for the first time.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. We've hit peak gleb. Call in a 5152 on the online version, because I think it dropped some bad acid. I present to you the phonology and allophony of seed 1157342009.

How do I get Gleb to run? When trying to run it from the command line I get this:

Code: Select all

I reroll again, I get this eldritch abomination of a phonology (2114745513):
Consonants:
/pʰ p b ɓ̰ pʰʲ pʲ bʲ ɓ̰ʲ tʰ t d ɗ̰ t͡ɬʰ t͡ɬ d͡ɮ tʰʲ tʲ dʲ ɗ̰ʲ t͡ɬʰʲ t͡ɬʲ d͡ɮʲ cʰ c ɟ kʰ k g/

/m mʲ n nʲ/

Vowels:
/i y ʉ u a/

Syllable Structure:

This one looks like some godforsaken nigh-extinct language spoken in Siberia or Central Asia.

I can forgive the high density of bilabial-velars and bilabial-alveolars, but t͡ʃ͡p͡ɸ? What the actual f0ck is that?
That is yet another proof that the almighty being known as GLEB need not obey to the phonological constraints of mere mortals.
