[quote Rhetorica, Kelatetía: Dis, Major Belt 1]Don't worry about awful language names during the development stage. My first real conlang (with a grammar) was called K[sub][i]n[/i][/sub], and it never got a different name.[/quote]
[#174170|Exhibit B.]
I'm torn between keeping the codenames for the sake of absurdism, and dumping them for the sake of something that sounds better.

[u]Synopsis:[/u] 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.

Life is pain. In the kind of way that would make Buddha step back and say "Whoah, man, it's not [i]that[/i] bad."

Onsets: /p t k d g ∅/ + /ɹ w j ɥ n l ∅/
Vowels: /i-y ɯ-u ɤ-o ʌ-ɔ/ with progressive rounding harmony

I'd like to do some sort of contraction system which *may* involve central vowels. Not going to do that yet though.

Okay, so just so everyone understands: I've been shouting, cursing, and threatening at people. This is me, loosely in character, as Tsar Njut', and once the game is over, Newt the Obsequious has no quarrel with anyone here.

The Italo-Russian Lament (2014-12-04 10:52:32) :
[i]Is this the real alliance?
Or is't just my fantasy?
Stuck in a stalemate
No escape from the Baltic Sea.
Raise up your fleets
Convoy from the Holy See...
I'm just a poor Tsar
Allied with Italy
But I'm easy come, easy go
Little south, little north
Any way A(Mos) goes
Doesn't really matter to me
To me....[/i]

Hey, are you arguing that Wordsworth had sentence structure? Are you [i]really[/i]?
But seriously, finding rhymes in -OI is hard. I knew I shouldn't have chosen a Spenserian rhyme pattern.

[i]"Reread lines 3-12 of the poem. In your own words, describe the scene the speaker encounters."[/i]

A sea of radiance spread across the wold
