Hi Mathias! Is that the new name of your conlang? Or another new

It's the new new name of the old new conlang that's with CVCVCV roots
instead of CVCV and 11 sounds instead of 14. I had no "native" name for it
yet until i christened it "Pisina-Pirunga" which means "People's Language".
I had a hard time finding this incredible one out.

Interesting. How does that work? (where is your webpage now? I can't find
it :((( )

It's a dumb voice prefix system but instead of the usual "active",
"passive", "mediopassive", etc., or Morneau's  "agent", "patient" and
"focus", there's an "active" (agent), "patientive" (patient), and
"iterative" (pattern) voices. The active voice is split into endotropic and
exotropic (roughly the "sujet" and "agent" you find in Pottier's book). I
have problems uploading everything on free.fr right now and it's a shame
because i have very little time left from RealWorld unfortunately--that's
why i can't keep up posting messages on CONLANG but i keep reading a lot of
them on the week-end.
