I have planet names for Classical Quazian, now...unfortunately I then realized I wanted to add /ts/, and have no planets which use it, which is sort of unlikely-seeming...

"Russian rouble drops another 10% this month while Russian Central Bank intervenes with $1b a day on average to stabilize the exchange rate."
I'm ambivalent. On the one hand, that's really not good for the Russian people. On the other hand, if the Russian economy is like Argentina's by the time I get there...all the better for me.

[quote Morrígan, Countess]Well, databases are also a bit crap. If spreadsheets (and the contents of their cells, more importantly) are formatted in a consistent way, we can transform them to RDF and have a nice queryable data structure. Not that this part is easy, but it's doable and (I'd argue) doesn't need to be as rigorous as database design is.[/quote]
Can you PM me your Gmail address so I can add you to the list of approved editors?

[quote Morrígan, Countess]Cool; no idea what is the appropriate thing to do in that case; just go with the first element? That seems to be insufficiently a principled decision.[/quote]
For [i]nōn[/i], that's probably the best choice, since [i]nōn[/i] syntactically and semantically patterns with Sanskrit [i]na[/i], OCS [i]ne[/i], OIrish [i]ní[/i] and the like, and [i]not[/i] with words meaning "one". I agree, though, that this seems a very touch-and-go rule that won't apply to everything...

Basic Vocabulary for Philologists (2014-10-13 09:41:30) :
Etymologies are now divided into three: a root, a pre-root (which will take care of most prefixes) and a postroot (which will take care of most consonant add-ons). The question "what is a cognate?" remains, however. (This is especially true with true compounds, like Latin [i]nōn[/i], which comes from [i]ne+oynom[/i]. Should it be listed under [i]ne[/i], or [i]oynom[/i]?)
