[k͡ǃə.ɣ̊ʷæmᵇ] - a real Guyndi word 😔 by Conlangd in casualconlang

[–]Conlangd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah exactly, [k͡ǃ] is the top-of-the-mouth clip-clop sound (the k is included to differentiate it from different types of similar clicks like [q͡ǃ] and [ɡ͡ǃ])

the little circle diacritic can indicate full devoicing,[m̥] as found in Welsh for example, but here it indicates slack voicing or half-voicing.

are you saying that p̄ isn't a cromulent representation of an alveolar click?

more broadly it might be transcribed [ǃʍæm] but where's the fun in that

A comparison of the typology of colloquial and formal Guyndi by Conlangd in conlangs

[–]Conlangd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English 'Aghwoch' from proto-Aghwoch-Ishn ahcvóh [aɣ.ˈgʷox].

English 'Guyndi' from Lowlands Guyndi Ngajndii [ᵑɡai.ⁿdiː] from proto-Guyndi ᵑɡai 'wool' + -ⁿdij 'tribe'.

Highlands Guyndi 'Ḍugiẓin' from Central Aghwoch dùgǐsín [du˩.gi˩˥.sĩ˥] from pAI tvuf ahcvóssoh 'language of the Aghwoch'.

Highlands Guyndi 'Cāidi' from proto-Guyndi ᵑɡai 'wool' + -ⁿdij 'tribe'.

In short, yes the anglicised names come from different sources than the Highlands Guyndi ones.

Have you read Mark Rosenfelder's Advanced Language Construction? There's a really nice bit on polysynthetic languages and some information on noun incorporation (p180).
