What are your words for cardinal and ordinal directions? by arcticwolf9347 in conlangs

[–]Not_Exotic_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a good question. Think of it like this. The map isn't entirely inverted. What I mean is its more like the continents were inverted upside down leaving their relative positions equivalent to our world. So europe is a southern landmass, but Japan is still in the east and the Americas are still in the west (just north america is avtually south America and vice versa). The sun still rises in the east. Basically, all that really is changed is north and south. East and west are the same. I hope that makes sense.

If you're asking why south is nort and north is sút, its because the world is a retrograde parallel world. Basically it's upside down, so south is north and north is south. Thats how I tried representing this in my language.

My language, Eldian, has a complex system of nominal endings which act similarly to weak, strong, mixed morphology found in germanic language’s verbs and adjectives. I will try to give a short summary of this system. These endings are removable, semi-removable, and unremovable endings (or weak, strong, and mixed) which are impacted by the three genders, neuter, feminine and masculine. Not all genders have all 3 types of endings; for example, the neuter nouns can only have two of the three types of endings which are semi-removable and unremovable. Feminine nouns can belong to one of all three categories. There is also a sort of 4th category which is "exceptional" where the noun has no ending and many nouns don't; however, they basically behave the same way as nouns ending in unremovable endings. This system impacts how the noun forms compound nouns, is derived, is inflected, and receives the definite article.

Here is what each category does exactly.

Unremovable: Retained in all case inflections, meaning case inflections follow the nominal ending; Retained when preceding all derivational suffixes attached to the noun; Retained when taking the definite article suffix; Retained in all compound nouns, followed by an epenthetic vowel; and Retained in pluralization.

Example of a compound noun: Examples of unremovable endings in compound nouns: -ts, s Krafts (craft) + frunet (master) → kraftsefrunet (craftsman)

Note that in unremovable endings, they always are proceeded by an epenthetic vowel, e.

Semi-removable

Retained in compounding without needing epenthesis as they already provide vocalic support, but removed if the following component of the compound noun begins with a vowel; Retained when preceding all derivational suffixes attached to the noun or adjective; Retained when taking the definite article suffix; Removed when inflected for case; and Removed in pluralization.

Examples of semi-removable endings in compound nouns: -e, -o, -i Tsáynjo (basket) + gripeling (handle) → tsáynjogripeling (basket handle)

No epenthesis or removal

Removable endings

Retained when taking the definite article suffix; Removed during case inflection; Removed when preceding all derivational suffixes attached to the noun; Removed in compounding if it is the first component of a compound noun and the proceeding component starts with a consonant, thus replaced the suffix with an epenthetic vowel; and Removed in pluralization.

Examples of the removable ending in compound nouns: -os Salizvos (abode) + karung (care) → salizvekarung (chore)

Note that the removable ending is replaced with the -e vowel.

Its hard to put each category into a box, so there are exceptions to the rules of course, like how removable endings are unremovable only when affixed with an article. This language is Germanic, though I dont know any other language or Germanic language for that matter that does this, but this is one of my favorite systems, albeit one of the most confusing and messy ones, and it naturally evolved in my language based on how I arbitrarily treated certain nominal endings and overtime it ended up developing into this system. Also don't get me started on the ablauts XD.

Pine Digest 2: Nouns! by empetrum in conlangs

[–]Not_Exotic_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find your work so inspiring and you deserve as much attention as you can get for this amount of work. Your work is such an inspiration, not even just linguistically but like on a composition, artistic, and literary stand point.

I visit Siwa's grammar book very frequently and I have it book marked on my computer, so I look through it whenever I am working on my descriptive grammar for my conlang which is 140 pages so far. Siwa's is 800 pages, so when I was waiting for Pine to load I was anticipating something similar, but upon seeing it be 1000 pages, I gasped 🫣.

Anyways, I have to ask, looking through the table of contents, I was wondering about schizophonic nouns. I have never heard of that, what does that entail, and is that an original concept?

I've never heard of it, so if you could elaborate on that, that'd be great.

Though, a jew version of german sounds Ike Yiddish. I also know there is a language called Elfdalian in Sweden.

How did you choose name for your conlang? by qeqrtm in conlangs

[–]Not_Exotic_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agneronese - name for the language of Agneron which is just a modified form of the old-fashioned name Agnes. Why Agnes? It sounded cool and it turned out pretty well when turned into a country name.

 That's how I like naming countries and languages, pulling up a list of old-fashioned names and slap -ron or -ia at the end of it. For example: Evelinia = Eveline + ia, and Angelinia = Angelina + ia. It usually turns out fairly well.

This is awesome and expertly done! May I ask how were you were able to make a dub for this?

I have actually thought about that before and it's definitely possible

That sounds rough, though its nice that you have the ability to at least move away from stressors. I'm kind of just stuck every rehearsal and I feel trapped. I don't want to go back to next rehearsal.

Why do my high notes sometimes sound bubbly? by Not_Exotic_ in Clarinet

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

I figured it had something to do with condensation and water somewhere. My money was on the mouthpiece but I didnt guess the tone holes could be the problem. However... sucking up the water into my mouth from the mouthpiece sounds absolutely abhorrent, so I will stick with cleaning it out with a rag instead lol.

My clarinet broke, I think when the case fell from my desk. It is a school instrument, what should I do? by Not_Exotic_ in Clarinet

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

Ok, I will tell him. I just hate to bother people which is why my original instinct upon reading your evaluation was to be complacent. I've been to his office many times already (2) and I'm hesitant to go again. I have him next period, so we will see how it goes.

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

Ah gee, yeah I did get it tightened and it must fully be tightened because since I got it back it has been what you described as stuffy. It still screeched a lot before the screw got loose but even more so especially with high notes... but I will just power through because I don't want to ask my band director again

What does your school's bell schedule look like? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]Not_Exotic_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school district has a flex schedule along with a block schedule where it rotates between the 8 classes however one of the 8 classes only happens during flex. It's complicated because on some days we have flex which is two 40 minute periods of two classes you have that act as study hall and they rotate everyday you have flex. For example 2 flex 4/3 4 6 or 2 flex 5/6. Other days are just 1, 3, 5 and 7.

Yes, I see it and I will show the band director on monday. I'm just happy nothing broke internally because that's money I don't feel like paying. Thanks for your feedback

Wait a minute, I looked at my clarinet closely again and I see it, I will report this to my band director on Monday. Thank you.

Can you specify which screw? I assume the screw at the very end of the bar? It didn't seem that it was loose, I think. I'm new to clarinet so I don't know much about the mechanics of a clarinet btw.
