The CBB

Lots of catching up: Lexember 8-14: a full week of PNG crops. Although the urheimat of Proto-Takur is Totally-Not-New-Guinea, I'm not totally sure yet how common any of these foods would be to Tuoken and Ottóxsh Gétker speakers. Either way, this makes it easy to create some more stable roots Tuoken ...

December 7:
Old Tuoken garní and Ottóxsh Gétker gerné 'hand'

Somehow it's been a full year since last Lexember, huh? I'm still working on the same lang's but they've been through some changes - I think for the first few days I'm going to reuse the same derivations as last year, but with my updated sound changes: Lexember 1 2018: ce3nao3pu1 'king, absolute mon...

Hi everyone! This update took longer than I expected, but I’m back with exciting grammar things A History of Eastern Takur Verbs, or, a Tale of Two Coverbs Eastern Takur languages such as Ottoxsh Getkerna and Tuoken have very different verbal systems than their Western counterparts (e.g. Hátu’s Mánn...

Hi all! Long-time listener, (basically) first time caller. This thread will be about a family of languages I’ve been working on since late 2017. I started working on Proto-Takur, or Project Lily, in this speedlanging challenge in 2017 , but coming on 2 years now, it’s by no means a speedlang anymore...

A little late (as per usual, I guess), but here you go: Lexember 2/3: Gizker ikábtishé /ikábtiʃé/ 'to dry up', and -ɣókábtish, -ɣókábtishé /ɣókábtiʃ, ɣókábtiʃé/ 'drought' From Proto-Takur *es, nominalizing prefix + *kóbtes 'dry', and a reduplication *kókóbtes reanalyzed as a verb, respectively Aá go...

I'm going to be joining in, hopefully for the whole month this time. I'll be jumping around within the Takur family. Lexember 1: Tuo4ken1 ce3nao3pu1 /t͡se˨na͡o˨pu˦/ 'king, absolute monarch, emperor' from Proto-Takur *déene 'one', + *opódd(é) 'man' Borrowed into Gízker as tsenaapó 'emperor' EDIT: Now...

Finally catching up on Lexember - I fiddled with the diachronics for U:ku:jéθétá: and Dékrena so now they're closer related - I'll go back and edit the last posts to show this...eventually. Lexember 3: Proto-Takur *qóthoéq, bird → Tōkretū /qo˥tʉ˩˥/ → U:ku:jéθétá: /xwétʼʷáː/ → Dékrena /hétʰea/ Lexemb...
