I think perhaps it includes the territories of Spain and Britain at some point in the 17th or 18th century. Less of a Roman Empire, more of a Roman-Empire-and-its-successors—though you'd think more of Russia would be covered.

Yes, sorry. It came from [http://memory.rhetori.ca/?id=305#Determiner%20Usage|an example in the Archaic grammar], before I really understood partitives.

This started out as a yes-I-must-talk-about-this-now thread, but it occurs to me I have no idea what I'm doing, so instead of just soliciting feedback I'd like to invite others to share their partitive systems also.

There are three categories of partitives in Lilitika:

Interesting features thread (2014-11-25 14:38:39) :
The default meaning of using a dimension word (e.g. width, height, size, weight) as an adjective in Lilitika results in a minimal form, e.g. [i]evegzí[/i] (small) from [i]evegze[/i] (size). To create a "large" word, the generic prefix [b]kel-[/b] ("great") must be added on (i.e. [i]kelevegzí[/i]), and for "medium," a negation is performed with [b]al[/b]([b]e[/b]|[b]é[/b]|[b]ez[/b])[b]-[/b], (i.e. [i]alvegzí[/i]). This originates in a cultural background that encouraged and normalized modesty....

What to do with this morpheme (2014-11-25 14:03:31) :
How about... a [i]normalizer[/i]? Like an intensifier, but underscoring the idea of average, normal, or typicalness, whereas an unqualified noun would encompass a broader range of possibilities.

Frickin' dang it to heck! (2014-11-17 13:10:07) :
Three topics were the primary focus of Ksreskézaian insults: intelligence, sexual prowess, and the ability to wage war effectively. As the mainstream Lilitai are largely pacifists, the mere mention of war is often disquieting. Similarly, sexuality-related insults tend to be relegated to slut-shaming, as a volatile love life is regarded as a threat to their (sometimes shaky) social stability.
(Note that -u is merely lexical in Lilitika and should be replaced with -a, -e or -o when formin...

Needs an example sentence or two for maximum horror, I think.
I posted previously about my ultimate nooblang, K'radénalla, which was mostly an experiment in regrettable grammar and unforgivable vocabulary. (Supposedly it was a language for dryads, but all of the vocabulary and examples were everyday modern stuff.) It can be summed up in one single, alarming, eye-damaging example sentence:
