Re: Kalini Sapak - new lang

    Well first I send out two non-identical copies of my happy conlang
day post, then I write a reply to this and it vanishes without a trace!
I REALLY need to work on my posting system, as this is just getting
annoying.

    If you look in a dictionary for any European language, you will see
all adjectives listed under their masculine forms, even the word for
feminine!

    Precisely. Any culture that is based on machismo, as this one seems
to be, is going to need a way to say "This guy does not live up to our
mutually agreed upon ideals of masculinity. Let us go mock and/or maim
him!" _Kuzalu_ would certainly fit the bill...
