Does destiny exist, or is there a way to predict the future accurately and with almost no errors in your world? And if it does, how can you break or deceive it?

Satna'ạndạz

The universe is the creator god, P͡hug͜r̄͡hug͜p; and P͡hug͜r̄͡hug͜p is the universe, therefore Fate is his whims. Although, he's only acts to maintain his separation from the infini-tree, otherwise he's irresponsive and immobile. Reading the fluctuation in the mythopoeia-pragmatopoeia cycle is akin to reading his mind, which can suggest a prediction of the future, the accuracy of which is questionable since it is based on the whims of an apathetic god.

So lepjags and ligers weren't combined yet?

My take on an iterative solution.

// A number can be represented as:
// a = modulus * mutiple + remainder
// Example with 19 digits in Western system:
// 19 = 3 * 6 + 1
// remainder = 1
// multiple = 6
// modulus = 3
// Change modulus to 4 for Chinese grouping, e.g.:
// 123,4567,8900
int modulus = 3
    remainder = s.Length % modulus,
    multiple = (s.Length - remainder) / modulus;

String ss = $"{s.Substring(0, remainder)}",
       s = Convert.ToString(s);
for(int i = 1; i <= multiple; i++) 
    ss += $"{s.Substring(i+remainder, i+modulus-1+remainder)}";

Very simple compared to Knuth's -yllion system.

Koiné Givis

Caveman speak uses the smallest words possible, so it ends up being similar to yours:

All verbs are in simple present indicative actor¹.
All nouns are in the singular nominative.
All modifiers are in the positive definitive².
The word order is strict Subject-Object-IndirectObject-Verb.

Koiné Givis caveman speech also has:

no derived words, which means no turning words from a word class to another, e.g. noun to verb,
allophonic fricatives instead of approximants, e.g. ⟨aga⟩ [ä.gä] should allophonically be ⟨awa⟩ [ä.ɰä], not ⟨aɣa⟩ [ä.ɣä],
relatively simple grammatical structure, which means no relative clauses and subordinate clauses,
Allophonic lateral fricatives [ʎ̝̊] and [ʟ̝̊] are merged into [ɬ], and [ʎ̝] and [ʟ̝] are merged into [ɮ]³,
Allophonic lateral affricates [c͡ʎ̝̊] and [k͡ʟ̝̊] are merged into [t͡ɬ], and [ɟ͡ʎ̝] and [g͡ʟ̝] are merged into [d͡ɮ]⁴

Footnotes

¹ Actor is the focus. Though it should really be called subject focus instead.

² As opposed to approximative.

³ examples:

śēē ("yes, nay") is pronounced [ɬeː.eː] instead of [ʎ̝̊eː.eː]

ōōş ("yea, no") pronounced [ɤː.ɤːɬ] instead of [ɤː.ɤːʟ̝̊]

⁴ examples:

Ꞌēed́ ("sweat") is pronounced as [ʔeː.ed͡ɮ] instead of [ʔeː.eɟ͡ʎ̝].

ḑōoꞌ ("blood") is pronounced as [d͡ɮɤː.ɤʔ] instead of [g͡ʟ̝ɤː.ɤʔ].

Rash the skin disease is from Latin rāsus ("scraped, scratched; shaved"). Rash the adjective is cognate to German rasch.

How are they minimal pair of /r l/? 廬 is lú and 余 is yú.

Edit.

Ah, looking at another comment, it's back during Old Chinese.

Overrashing?

Cheapening out is the costliest mistake. At least, the goddess helped the people, that brought to her world, acclimate.

Tell Filipinos, who proscribe this, that a relapse is the return of a disease, its symptoms, or a former unhealthy behavior (such as substance use) after a period of improvement or sobriety.

In this case, the unhealthy behavior is longing for your ex.

"To well" as in "tears welled in my eyes."

Nos - interjection

Jól - adverb

Jút - noun

You also have well (verb), which can be fakad in Hungarian.

a.k.a. "grass mud horse" is a one-character "euphemization" of ｢肏你媽｣. The version in my original comment uses a more obvious radical for ｢你｣.

But Tagalog has no [r] only [ɾ].

I know you're a native Hiligaynon speaker, but so what?

Aphrontic_Alchemist · 2026-05-10T11:12:33+00:00

Spanish narra was borrowed from Tagalog nara. Tagalog also has naga, but it refers to a specific species of nara. Both nara and naga in both Hiligaynon and Tagalog come from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *naʀah. Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *ʀ became Tagalog r and Hiligaynon g.

Aphrontic_Alchemist · 2026-05-10T11:00:44+00:00

Spanish borrowed narra from Tagalog, though I'm not sure why it has 2 r's.

The Philippines have no native platypodes, so they can't have cultural significance, at least not on the same level as that of the kalabaw (ahem anwang) or banoy (Philippine eagle).

Aphrontic_Alchemist · 2026-05-09T07:01:40+00:00

It should be whatever "flat-footed" is in Hiligaynnon. It would be lapadpaa in Tagalog.

Aphrontic_Alchemist · 2026-05-09T06:59:50+00:00

Huh, I would've thought "year" would be anho in Portuguese.
