Coding 2025-12-15

By Max Woerner Chase

Okay, I just quickly typed out build rule generators for paradigm calls, and now I'm staring at the existing rules like, okay, I have to come up with more structure for this, my filenames are just nonsense.

If I were to push ahead with this, I would need to filter and rename from build/proto lexicon fused final.toml, and then use the resulting affix lexicon to create an "initial" lexicon file, then apply a new set of sound changes to create the "final" lexicon file. When I work on aspect markers, that's just another paradigm step; it can just go before or after setting up the case markers, and then everything can get sound changed.

Now, while I'm planning ahead, one of the other things I want to support is converting nouns to prepositions. This is done via change + drift + filter, then loan back in.

It's late, so I don't want to touch the code any more tonight, and I need to sketch out some potential directory structures, because I'm having trouble developing the ideas entirely in my head.

For now, got to get ready for bed.

Good night.
