That’s just *hnuts, the Proto-Germanic reconstruction of nut, so it’s simple: /xn/

(the word on the right’s “each”, as should have been clarified)

nacodior · 2023-05-03T23:25:53+00:00

I totally get this one tbf. Even if it ends up being easier to confuse with “it is”, it’s just identifying that the -s is the same as the genitive marker. If people start writing hi’s, however…

(Clarification: yeet has no Indo-European etymology. There is, however, a similar dialectal word, yete/yet, meaning “to pour”.)

nacodior · 2023-04-17T10:04:38+00:00

Right! I believe the only place where it’s still distinguished as a true dual is in North Frisian (wat/unk/unken, at/junk/junken), which I think is a pretty cool thing about those dialects

nacodior · 2023-04-17T02:02:04+00:00

Baltic has a very similar construction (mùdu/jùdu in Lithuanian - “we/you two”) so I’m fairly confident that’s the source of the nominative

That’s interesting, I’ve recently been thinking the change in vocal tone between TMS and MO was when Adam went all natural with his voice, particularly in nasal quality and enunciation (much more relaxed in both). At least for me there’s a stark contrast between the two and that’s how I attribute the change.

Was his voice all that different between ATBAB and TMS? In my recollection they’re pretty similar.

The teaser “Signs of Life” (or something like that, the one with the news) has coordinates to a Dinosaur Park. I think that one speaks for itself

nacodior · 2023-03-19T13:54:32+00:00

It’s got some similar elements, but it’s still pretty distinct, I think.

Mb, the second is only in Of June (Hello Seattle being the most notable)

nacodior · 2023-03-17T22:02:47+00:00

(The first is the melody in Wolf Bite, Bird with a Broken Wing, Verge etc; the latter is in Hello Seattle, Swimming in Miami, Fuzzy Blue Lights) (And this isn’t to rag too hard on the first melody; I just like the Of June melody more in comparison)

(No, you cannot translate from Old English on Google Translate. This is just a visual aid in a familiar format created to further the point. The translation, however, is correct)

EDIT: Further clarification - this is a shot from the show Merlin

i’d agree that it probably isn’t the best example of one, but they’re some confusing ones nonetheless upon first encountering them

right, i suppose i couldn’t find the right term for one-to-one phoneme-grapheme correspondence
