Fair Fights 2023-06-04
A big thanks to the HVAC technician who showed up (a day late, but whatever...) and both noticed what was wrong with the system, and explained it. This reflects really poorly on literally every other professional who has looked at the system over the past two years, but, again, whatever.
Anyway, let's ponder how to make the Fair Fights Conlang sound the way I want it to.
I've elected to give its syllables a modest collection of codas, but more extensive a set than what the cipher produces naturally. This is helpful, because I want to give the nouns some inflections based on gender and case. That's reasonable for a naming language, right? Because you have to know how you're using the nouns that you're naming stuff with.
:)
They can't respond before you send the post.
Everyone's in agreement, then. Good.
Anyway, I want two or three genders here, and as far as cases go, the genitive for sure, dative is probably okay, and to round things out...
I am going to see how far I can get with ergative and absolutive. Make absolutive the "dictionary" case, and express the others via suffixes of some kind.
I seem to have run out of inspiration for the night, so I'm going to just cut this off and wrap up for now.
Good night.
