For things that contain other things like bags, lakes and bowels.

Bowels, as in intestines, or is this a misspelling of "bowls"?

I love your conworlding and the sound of this language, by the way.

Possibly, it would mostly serve to justify the introduction of changes in the kinship and religion system (exogamy and later a moiety system between religious groups) that foster alliances and a more unified rule amongst the tribes / clans, though not quite centralisation yet. So eventually everyon...

I just wanted to say: Thanks for remembering the (now-pruned) Snowball Game! It was pruned!? Shit!!! I always intended to use that as a translation challenge resource some day. It's a fantastic idea: a stock of grammatically interesting sentences to translate that don't require an immense vocabular...

About the Txabao The Txabao [tʃɐˈbao̯] (which means "travelers" in their native language) are a desert nomad people. They ride domesticated camels, and, upon encountering the wheel, use this brilliant invention for their camel caravans and become spread far and wide. The Txabao travel to oases, but...

@brblues: So this would be like the Oscans to the Romans, sort of, right? Maybe a people who speaks an offshoot of Txabao would work.

Speaking of which, I'm going to get the Txabao desert people's language's cornerstone set later this weekend.

Do you have a Unified Theory of Everything?

No, never have had, and don’t know anyone who ever has had.

Oh, well.

I already knew you were an INTP, overweight, and a geek, and that you used a laptop!

Then there's Sir Terry Pratchett's type, INTP. When I think of INTP's, I picture an overweight, ponytailed geek sitting at his laptop and visiting sites where he discusses quantum physics and new sustainability paradigms, tweaking his Unified Theory of Everything. I have never had a ponytail! But y...

BTW, especially for Salmoneus , here are the sentences from the old game: https://pastebin.com/J4vuKYkD Trying to help his friend made Peter happy.

Dog and snake are definitely basic. Bird and fish are so generic that they're basic as well, as is the word "animal" itself. Some lists say louse is basic. You and I agree that spider is basic. I would consider chicken basic, although you disagree. And of course, human is basic in any conworld (or ...

Something I noticed: "Morrison has said that Nibiru is not real, that there is no 10th planet in our solar system (I still count Pluto), and that there is no cause for alarm." No tenth planet in our solar system? Not all astronomers agree with that anymore! I still count Pluto, too. A couple of wee...

People living under the ice would probably not be very anthropic. But you're right, this is something to think about. The plan is to parameterise the basic list. So each category has a module for each instance of a certain parameter. A module can be empty, of course. I saw your explanation in a lat...

I can't find anything through Google (any attempt I make at a search always tries to correct to Welsh "dydd", meaning "day"), but is this a thing in Finnish? In The Language Instinct , Steven Pinker says that to people living through the Great Vowel Shift, it must have sounded "like that strange su...

I just googled "tread lightly around sensitive subjects" and "neurotype", and was able to find the page. From there, I opened the cache!

At https://www.kli.org/chabal/ they now have a wishlist of new Klingon words you'd like Marc Okrand to coin. I registered today as a guest. Guests are allowed two word requests each, and I requested words for headphones and disorder, disability, syndrome, condition . You may also register as a 1-yea...

Is anyone reminded of this?
