All right, let's see where I am. I've got a bunch of compound roots that I need to fill in, grammaticalization to do, and some disappointing stuff so far. Let's try tweaking a root just to make stuff happen...
Okay, I got a little irregularity from a tiny tweak. Let's avoid iterating on that for now, and focus on the fundamentals. I need to form some of these roots, even if my plan is to immediately subject them to grammaticalization. All right, here's the sequence:
- Form personal pronouns, and shorten them
- Now, select out the roots for affixes, and create new glosses with shortened versions of them.
- Now, implement procedural combination
- That produced two-word entries, fuse them
There are some problems here that need to be addressed, and I haven't decided what's the best way to handle them. Basically, right now, compounding roots (which is how the pronouns are formed) "have to" go back in the full lexicon, so to apply changes exclusively to them, I need to either remove them from the lexicon, or allow overwriting... I think I prefer overwriting.
All right, I've got a plan, and I've got code. I don't have the sound changes. I'm going to try to take things easy, and wrap up for today.
Good night.
