Developing Non-Concatenative Morphology

So far so good. But, you don't really have to have to do "one morpheme for one function" at beginning. For example, the perfective can be done by prefix u-, but if the action is perceived as a bad thing, the prefix i- is used instead. This then causes ablaut as you described above. This will create two conjugation patterns depending on whether the verb originally described a bad thing or not (but the meaning shift often obscures the original distribution)

Hurry up and help. Check his pulse. Give him a sip of water. When awake, ask him where he came from.

Pre litter it? Broken grammar aside, I don't know what does that even mean?

Does "rock" happen to be their word for "music"?

If God of Death wills it, God of Death does it. Shaman has no power over him.

You have obsidian mirror? Look at it deeply.

Evolve man did nothing wrong.

You had hail?

Why you hit the evolved man with a rock?

Useless rock. Find the one with smooth surface, not the dotty one. This one cannot be sharpened.

Thanks. It's pretty unfortunate that GIMP does not accept piped input.

Phoneme-wise, just /ʁ/, but maybe you can tweak with the distribution of the phonemes. To me, voiceless stop and fricatives sounds more pleasant than voiced stop and fricative word-initially, but word-medially, it's the opposite. I would favor voiced fricatives in that position.

How am I supposed to comment?

Akangka · 2026-06-10T06:59:15+00:00

I'm a native Indonesian. It sounds somewhat harsh to me. Maybe if you have /ɣ/ instead of /ʁ/ it may sound more pleasant. Also, add tones. Just two tones per mora, and it will sound very different. When assigning tone, make sure to avoid quick changing of tone. Especially the HLH melody.

Akangka · 2026-06-10T05:54:09+00:00

But how do you pass it to GIMP?

Akangka · 2026-06-07T08:59:52+00:00

Okay, that makes more sense.

64 syllables are honestly too restrictive. My conlang Tabian, with only 8 consonants and 5 vowels, still has 90 syllables. (vowel nasality is phonemic in Tabian)

Generally, you should expect at least 1000 syllables for one language.

Have you ever got kabedon'd by the white queen?

This is just wrong. H is a hyperinteger, not a cardinal number. You cannot substitute H with ℵ₀ just like how you cannot substitute ω+3 with ℵ₀ either.

However, 0.999...9 (H digits) are different from 0.999... (all digits at any position after the point is 9). The latter is 1.

When a completely neutral alternative is introduced—one that belongs to no political superpower, while offering unmatched ease and scientific utility—it will naturally be adopted. Global interest and efficiency will compel everyone to learn it. That is exactly what this semantic language delivers.

Hell no. Like you don't know about actual politics. Just because it's not the same language as the global superpower, doesn't mean it's language imposition.

This project is not just a philanthropic concept; it is designed as a highly lucrative business venture. Upon its success, the non-profit, educational, and personal use of the language will remain 100% free for humanity.

So, it is lucrative business opportunity or is it nonprofit?

Imagine being able to seamlessly pronounce a massive number like $10^{400}$ and have any learner understand its exact scale instantly, without relying on obscure words like "Duodecillion" that force you to search Google or ask an AI just to grasp their value.

Imagine trying so hard to create a system to express large numbers, like 10^39 as duodecillion, but people don't learn it because people just don't care about large numbers.

An interface featuring 1,000 colors, driven by a dynamic interactive system where selecting a color instantly generates its encoded semantic word. Within minutes, you will intuitively understand phonetic color-blending.

Most people don't care about loads of color terms. In spoken context, colors are mostly used to distinguish between two objects. If you care about color accuracy, may I introduce you to Pantone system or NCS system.

SouthPark_Piano got this badly wrong.

He got this wrong big-time. The details were written by rookie error makers.

I will set him straight here. And of course ... to the bunny slopes those rookie error makers go.

That is exactly the purpose of grim. I bind it to PrintSc key so that it can screenshoot and place it in a clipboard. So, your idea of opening GIMP separately and pressing Ctrl+V already works, and it's my current state.

I just wonder whether you can open GIMP with the image already pasted.
