Synopsis: Let's start off with a few more notes on grammar and then move on to the druidic descendant.

Adjectives and adverbs are usually prepositive, it seems. Verbs (participles, in effect, although that probably means I'm thinking about this wrong) taking an object follow said object, so mairellëonda ntumbendantur banneanhemmuean "X Y-ing Z"+can't for the life of me think of a good example. Oh, and the verb can be passivized, like any verb, with near. Et cetera. Meh, grammar is less interesting anyway... it all comes down to there being not that much grammatical structure, because it wasn't especially necessary; heck, nouns got left off often as not and if you're shaking your head right now remember that this is an entlang and the descendant will be better.

Moving on to said descendant...

The codename for the descendant is [REDACTED], and if you're rolling your eyes right now remember that I have an entire language family named after the asterisk and also fuck you.

The beginning of Redacted's development was essentially a metric crapton of shortening, which made the phonology a godawful mess. Vowels shorten before two consonants (Elmin is an entlang, so every vowel is long.) Most of the nasals are lost, except initially where they prenasalize and probably end up causing mutation. Syncope applies here, there, and everywhere, shattering paradigms. Nasal clusters smooth into coarticulations. Vowels get mutated every which way at once. Cats and dogs, living together! ...causing mergers to occur everywhere just to sanify the phonology and in the end leaving Redacted with an awful lot of irregularity, which of course didn't level at all because Redacted, being an interpretation of Druidic, is a ceremonial language and MUST BE SPOKEN CORRECTLY

Of course, this is all a general idea of what I want to do with the language, and the actualization will depend on me putting some vocabulary together for Elmin, which may take a while. But hey, it's an incubator, so I'll let it incubate.
