Re: oligosynthetic (was: affixes)

Last night, I tried to create an oligosynthtic language and, in addition of
being funny, it is easy

I created some 50 morphemes, each meaning an idea

They are grouped together to form nouns, verbs, adjective...


sentences could be:

hizoni buxalo ZlihitSojoma

hi: first person
zo: feeling
ni: intensity

bu: human
xa: feminine
lo: plural

Zli: possession
hi: first person
tSo: family/kinship
jo: negation/opposite
ma: inside

-> I like women who are not in my family


ZlihatSibili muglini ja hiSluSubiplihihahelo

Zli: possession
ha: 2nd person
tSi: part/section
bi: vision
li: dual

mu: state, being, description
gli: beauty, beautiful
ni: intensity

ja: addition

hi: first person
Slu: desire, wanting
Su: capacity
bi: vision
pli: collection, totality
hi: 1st person
ha: living, life
he: 3rd person
lo: dual

-> Your eyes are very beautyful and I'd want to be able to watch them for my
whole life


hiSlukso jubuxakxa kamaniplikGa

hi: 1st person
Slu: desire, wanting
kso: playing, game

ju: accompany
bu: human
xa: feminine
kxa: youngness

ka: knowledge
ma: contenance
ni: intensity
pli: collection, totality
gGa: time

-> I like to play with the young girl who always know a lot of things


There are so much possibilities!!

Try it: take a few ideas and link them to make sentences, it's funny! :-)
