Speak in Your Conlang Thread (2014-07-28 21:50:10) :
Just made this up in view of the occasion:
[box][b]kimb- kolunas[/b] /kɪmb- kolunas/, [i]idiom[/i]: be sleepless (lit. 'hunt the moon') – [i]Ang hiyāy pinamya kimbyam kolunas.[/i] I'm tossing in bed sleeplessly.[/box]
I wonder if I should make [i]kimbyam kolunas[/i] as a VP attract the main verb VP, so you get
[gb][g bed-LOC]Pinamya[/g] [g AT]ang[/g] [g roll-1SG.T]hiyāy[/g] [g hunt-PTCP]kimbyam[/g] [g moon-P]kolunas.[/g][/gb]
'I roll in bed hunting/to hunt the moon.'

Elicitation: Please Call Stella :
What does your neck o'th' wood's English (or your native language other than English) sound like? You can post your recording of the Stella text (in English or in translation) here. Why the Stella text? Isn't that unnatural because you're not speaking normally? Yeah, I guess. On the other hand, in order to compare, it makes sense to have [i]some[/i] yardstick.

I wouldn't be surprised if German merged [ç] with [ʃ] over the course of the next decades. Cedh also once wrote a comment on the Old Forum™ about how he thinks that /Vr$/ might turn into /Vː$/ in the future.

[quote meficat]@Jipí: My trousers have a metal button and sorta rivets. Will I have to take them off?[/quote]
I want to sarcastically answer that they want you to go through security naked, but no. Little things like buttons don't seem to matter. However, a mere 3 decorative rivets on each of my shoes made the alarm of the metal detector go off and I had to get a complete pat-down.

Also, make sure your electronic gadgets have enough power to shut them on and off at the demand of the TSA officer. Otherwise, you are a terrorist because your empty battery is probably in actuality a bomb. If you have [i]any[/i] metal parts in your clothing, be sure to put the clothing items in a box for x-raying.

Take a coat or a fleece sweater with you. On the few flights I've had so far, they always put the AC on colder than what would be comfortable. Also, next time I fly, I'll definitely take one of those neck pillows with me because you can't really rest your head comfortably anywhere.
