<BituminousNewt> hmm I wonder how many umlauts I can shove into a conlang while somehow having them merge into the bare letter
<BituminousNewt> it would be like hëävÿ mëẗäl cönläng
<guitarplayer> BituminousNewt: only if you make /bləd/, /dɛvɪl/ and /seɪtən/ common words
<BituminousNewt> let's all diachronically analyze bløød, dëvil, and saẗan as copula forms
<BituminousNewt> also <öyster> is "blue"
<guitarplayer> you definitely need n-diaresis!
<guitarplayer> and if it's just in the word spin̈al
<BituminousNewt> and <spın̈al> meaning "to tap"
<theta> verbs are marked for how heretically you are performing the action
<theta> the unmarked form is "extremely heretically"
<guitarplayer> hereticity hierarchy
<guitarplayer> goes along with the agency hierarchy, I guess
<guitarplayer> maximally heretical constituents can't be passivized or relativized
<BituminousNewt> the language cannot be spoken, only screamed hoarsely
<guitarplayer> BituminousNewt: also, you need a base-666 number system of course.
<guitarplayer> good luck counting~

+I said before that it's kind of self-praising to post funny quotes you participated in yourself but I don't want this to get lost. So uh … can we please make an exception and excuse this little bit of narcissism for once?
