(I was forgetting what the word for 'son' was in Ercunian/Ercunic, I thought it was [b]sun[/b] or [b]son[/b] and derived from the same root that hwatting's word comes from, but it's actually a different root)

Sound Change Spreadsheet Discussion Thread (2015-04-23 10:24:02) :
I guess you could use indices to indicate feed and bleed orderings, if that's the intention? I do like this idea though.
I want to write code to analyze sound changes to produce graphs of what changes are ordered relative to one another...

Yep. I couldn't access anthologica yesterday, but today, as you see, I can.

both dynamic.anthologi.ca and conservatory.sytes.net work fine; the normal URL only produces connection time-outs though. I can also incidentally confirm that changing cities does not alleviate this problem ~

OK, onto some transitive sentences. Many, many transitive verbs are just intransitive verbs inflected with animate marking- for example, [b]phála[/b] means 'to be on fire' in the intransitive but 'to set on fire' in the transitive.
Order of core arguments, thanks to direct-inverse marking, is relatively free.
When you begin a narrative, if your object is intransitive, you're set: you don't need to do any obviation marking, at least not until a second animate enters the mix.

There are twelve TAM particles; further TAM distinctions must be expressed by adverbs like [b]ə́ṭə[/b] 'long ago' or [b]dip[/b] 'tomorrow'. They fit into a fairly smooth three- by four-distinction matrix, inflecting for aspect and mood, but not tense.
* Aspect may be perfective, imperfective or habitual.
* Mood may be realis, irrealis, contrafactual or potential.
The default TAM inflection, which takes no particle, is the realis imperfective. A table of particles appea...

I didn't really want to work on that morphology paper anyways!
Anyways, nouns may be [i]animate[/i] or [i]inanimate[/i] in Sayə́m, and this only partially reflects reality: while it's true that [b]ṭoḍ[/b] 'stone' is inanimate and [b]khew[/b] 'woman' is animate, you also have pairs like animate [b]súthu[/b] 'deciduous tree' and inanimate [b]úṣo[/b] 'conifer'.
Animates in Sayə́m are allowed to take more inflection than inanimates: they may be marked for [i]obviation[/i] and [i]nu...

Renamed since the various incarnations of CQ don't actually have very much to do with each other and I'd like to sidetrack temporarily into a mostly isolating-ish family which will be easier to work with. I'm still unsure where this'll be spoken.
We will start with the phonology since I'm going to be boring for this family:
Voiced stops: /b d ɖ ɟ g/ <b d ḍ j g>
Voiceless stops: /p t ʈ c k/ <p t ṭ c k>
Aspirated stops: /pʰ tʰ ʈʰ cʰ kʰ/ <ph th ṭh ch k>...
