>> F = English P sound
>> P = English PH sound
>Why not make P the P sound and F the F sound?
That is a good question.....
>> I = stretched english E sound
>> 'ez = sufix to pluralize a word (counted as one letter)
>> bob = currently doing (prefix)
>> dad = going to do(prefix)
>> mim = already did(prefix)
>> 'ock = to make a command (suffix)
>Friendly advice -- for a logical language, go phonetic. What, really, is
the difference between ck and k? Or is there one that you forgot to
explain?
Well there really isn't a difference but I might as well make one since you
mention it. CK has more of a UH sound at the end than K which has a AUH sound.
>> PEOPLE - XORG
>> TI('ez) = he(s)/she(s)
>> TU = you, they
>> DERJ = I, me
>> DETU = us,we
>So TI'ez and TU mean the same thing? Why isn't DERJ'ez "we"?
I messed up in writing that. My conlang is genderless so "TI" can be like
"IT" in English and if it is pluralized it is "ITS" or "THEY". I wrote "THEY"
in the wrong place.
Also "'ez" is really like adding a "s" in English so "DERJ'ez" would be "MEs"
or "Is". Also "DETU" is a mix between me and you.
>>EATING/FOOD - bobLAL/LAL
>>CHA = meat OR carnivore
>>WHA = vegtable OR herbivore
>>WHACHA = meat/vegtable OR omnivore
>>LAL = food, non-specific(if prefix added EAT or ATE or EATING depending on
prefix)
>I like that you can call an animal by what it eats. But is it very
logical? Perhaps you're going for an artlang instead?
What is the difference in conlangs and artlangs? I thought it was logical
because you can describe the animal's size and eating habits.
>> !TU SMU
>> You smell.
>Does this mean that I am able to smell, or does it mean that I don't smell
very good? How do you differentiate transitive and intransitive verbs, in
other words?
Good question I am going to have to think about that.
>Interesting. You've obviously put a lot of thought into it.
I put a little bit of thought in it. I really should have studied some other
conlangs before I started.
