That might be a good idea. In the meantime, the Hikoomayii story happened, which, since we take ages here for anything anyway, could be moved to its own page somewhere and made the featured creation. I think we can all agree that it deserves to be that at some point.

Hikoomayii Story (2017-05-16 10:25:53) :
In the underlying representation, acute marks high tones, unmarked marks low tones, and H marks variable-toned vowels -- the tone of variable-toned vowels depends on position with respect to the word boundary and to high toned vowels. Basically, it's normally low in odd-numbered syllables from the beginning of the word or most recent long vowel, or when adjacent to a high tone vowel, and is high otherwise. (But underlying high and variable-toned vowels can still surface as low when preceding con...

Hikoomayii Story (2017-05-16 06:28:32) :
I think.. that superscript H codes for an accent if it follows an accent or superscript H anywhere in the word, unless it is immediately adjacent to syllables with an accent on each side.

Hikoomayii Story (2017-05-16 02:13:54) :
Excellent! It definitely looks like a North American indigenous language, but not of either of the families I'm more familiar with (Penutian and Muskogean). I like the suffixes that simultaneously express subject person and number, (ir)realis, and (im)perfective. The main thing I'm wondering right now is what the difference is between acute accent and superscript 'H' in the URs.

I don't know much about North American native languages, but that sure has the look of one.

H13lang Scratchpad (2017-05-04 15:50:48) :
It's the latter. As for which form to use with a definite time adverbial, I think that without any other temporal constructs in the same clause, either goes, simply because non-fixed reference forms are -- hence the name -- unmarked for time. So if I say:
[g this]oro[/g][g -LOC]-wag̃o[/g] [g yesterday]buwa[/g] [g hole]jabsu[/g] [g be]uru[/g][g -AOR]-∅[/g][g -3s]-g̃[/g]
it can't really mean anything other than "there was a hole here yesterday". The same thing goes for the ~past~, of cours...

Oh, that isn't the reason why I asked. It is well known that, in the forums, behaving like tectonic plates is the norm here.

H13lang Scratchpad (2017-05-03 02:20:16) :
i'm trying to wrap my head around the "fixed temporal reference" thing. does "no fixed temporal reference" mean the speaker isn't asserting past/present/future, or just that they aren't asserting a specific time interval/point in particular? if it's the former, it doesn't seem very useful, most just for generic or habitual statements. if it's the latter, then it seems like you could use it more widely. but even in that situation, doesn't it mean that if you use a definite time adverbial, like "t...
