The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 24 2006 15:13 Profile Homepage #102 About verbs: some of the same comments as I made before. The term "postposition" refers to something that is essentially like a preposition, but it comes after the object. I seriously doubt you're using the word correctly in the verb section. The word "than" is used for comparisons, not "then." I know that it's a little hard in a second language, but get it straight. Rather than talking about "modern languages" as if they were a monolithic group, it's probably best to make reference to specific languages or language families ("This is the conjugational system found in most modern Indo-European languages," for example). I really have no idea what most of that page about verbs is supposed to mean. You don't explain what "bipartite" and "multipartite" verbs are or why anyone cares about the difference, so it's a little hard to tell what your purpose in that page is. Many of your oblique cases are still poorly named or poorly described. The so-called "terminative" is definitely an allative. The so-called "ablative-instrumental" is clearly an ablative alone. The "instrumentative" is clearly an instrumental. One would never use the instrumental for "a glass of milk" — one would use the genitive for that, but there's been some confusion as to whether your genitive is a real genitive. Your "locative-terminative" may very well be an adessive, too. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Yeah, I know what a uvular trill is. I just want to make sure that you know what a uvular trill is. :P My question was this: does the uvular trill only occur when followed by an A? I mean, are they not capable of saying (uvular trill) E? (This is possible, I suppose, but it would be the result of a fairly strange sound change.) quote: Originally written by Thralni, Nephil translators & co.: 2) The main reason I'm making this language, is for a future scenario I'm going to make. And you haven't let all this discussion of linguistics distract you from your main task, which is making that scenario, right? Make sure that you keep making the scenario while you work on all this stuff. You can make notes to yourself now about places to put in nephil language later once you have things figured out more. quote: I wouldn't know how else to get over this problem, unless I copy kelndon's work, which i don't want to do. I don't suggest that you copy my work, but you might want to copy my method. I started with phonetics, because I wanted to know the sounds that I had to work with when I was making inflectional endings. I made sure that I had enumerated every last sound in the slith language before I went into creating cases and conjugations.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, January 23 2006 07:16 Profile Homepage #92 Think of it as beta testing your web page: I'm not telling you how stupid any of this is. I'm telling you the parts that are factually wrong or poorly explained. I don't like ergative-absolutive languages because I don't like them. I learned the concept a long time ago, which is how I can say that I don't like them. Why does it matter? I just don't like the idea of a language that defaults to object rather than subject. Oh, and making H pronounced as G seems rather stupid if you have a perfectly functional G to work with. I can't track down any evidence of Semitic languages actually doing this, but if they do, they surely must do it for reasons that almost certainly do not exist in your language. Bear in mind that any language of the Ancient Middle East was written in a different alphabet originally, whereas your language is written in the Latin alphabet to begin with. I keep referring you to the Wikipedia pages on linguistic terms (which are more comprehensive than just about anything not specifically written to be a comprehensive guide to this sort of stuff). You keep not looking at those pages. I don't have tons of linguistic terms memorized either. I cross-checked them with Wikipedia's IPA and case-listing pages. Just look there: it's explained as simply and comprehensively as you could need for these purposes. You don't have to read dozens of books.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, January 22 2006 19:17 Profile Homepage #90 2. Emphatically NO. A genitive case is a case that substitutes for an "of" phrase in English, both "the book of Bob" (Bob's book — possessive) and "a glass of milk" (partitive). A case that can only express possession is not called a genitive case; it's called a possessive case. 7. I was talking (if you refer back to the #7 from your previous post) about the terminative case. I'm just saying that it sounds a lot like an allative case, and after reading your description, I'm almost sure that you're describing an allative case, not a terminative case. As I mentioned before, there's nothing at all wrong with an ergative-absolutive language. I just don't like them. :P I guess I just haven't studied any. That covers most of my initial criticism (spelt thus) about the nouns page. On to pronunciation! I highly recommend using actual languages or linguistic terms to describe sounds that don't exist in English. I'm guessing that the FH is some sort of velar fricative (KH in Classical Slith), but I'm not really sure. And the TH explanation really doesn't help at all. I really have no idea what you mean for the RH sound. It just doesn't make sense. And I honestly think that your RA description is a little ambiguous. You say it's a uvular trill, but then does the uvular trill include the A vowel? Why is H sometimes pronounced like G? Is this some sort of wacky historical spelling? When is it pronounced this way? Now, some missing things. First, you say that all the remaining sounds are pronounced as in the Latin alphabet. (Why call out M specifically, then, if it's just pronounced normally?) Bear in mind that in Latin, unlike English, the stops were mostly not aspirated — you can hear the difference between a Spanish word-initial T (as in "tener") and an English word-initial T (as in "team") if you listen very closely. So are nephil stops aspirated? Likewise, does that mean that the nephil language has all the sounds that Latin did? Does that include somewhat Greek sounds, like Z? It might be worth writing them all out. How does stress work in the nephil language? With long and short vowels, I'm assuming that stress can't be as heavy as in English — perhaps on par with Spanish? Or something? Does the stress get put in any particular positions, or can it go anywhere in the word? If the latter, nephilim perhaps ought to mark the stressed syllable, as the modern Greeks do, rather than simply omitting it, as the Russians and English do. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, January 22 2006 07:18 Profile Homepage #86 An ergative-absolutive language is just as complicated as a nominative-accusative language. It just defaults to object, rather than subject. 1. "Suffix" is much better. 2. Your language doesn't have a genitive case, then. It has a possessive case. English has a possessive case for pronouns that is not a genitive case. 6. No, you didn't make it clear enough. Your table that lists the functions of these cases says of the absolutive, "Only the stem without postposition." That's a description of the form, not of the usage. And I personally find the ergative-absolutive concept a little aesthetically displeasing, but there's nothing wrong with it per se. 7. Do you actually read Sumerian? If not, it's probably a bad idea to use a case that you don't understand. And by the way, Sumerian was an isolate, not a Semitic language. And Hurrian was a Hurro-Urartian language, not a Semitic one. Anyway, your case looks an awful lot like an allative case. I have no real experience with terminative cases, so I can't say for sure that it's not a terminative case. In fact, the most ambiguously-worded part of the description is the part that might make it actually a terminative case. When you say, "The terminative is used to make the object in the sentence clearer," do you mean the goal, not the object?

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, January 21 2006 18:17 Profile Homepage #84 Well, I read the part on nouns, and I've noticed a few errors. A "posposition" is like a preposition, except that it comes after its object. Unless your case ending are actually separate words, they're just case endings, not pospositions. Conversely, if it does have postpositions, those aren't cases — they're postpositional phrases that function in the place of case endings (which is what English mostly uses). The genitive has other uses than possession. "A glass of milk" is the classic example of the "of" use of the genitive that doesn't involve possession at all. The dative ought not be summarized as "somebody receiving something," because this sounds far too much like the grammatical description of the active-voice direct object (the receiver of the action of the verb). The dative is normally used for the indirect object ("to" or "for," not just "for": "I gave the book to the librarian"). You say, "Genitive, dative, terminative and vocative are cases that appear in Latin and Greek," but as mentioned above, Latin and Greek do not have a "terminative" case. Latin has six cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, ablative), and Greek five (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative), not five and four. And that's assuming that you don't count the impoverished locative. If you've set this up as an ergative-absolutive language (ew...), then you should make absolutely clear: the ergative case is the subject of a transitive verb (one that takes a direct object); the absolutive case is the object of a transitive verb or the subject of an intransitive verb. This is going to be weird to a lot of people, so it is worth being precise. A case that expresses "direction towards" is an "allative" case. The "terminative" case is more specifically at the very end of something. Also, "direction towards" has nothing to do a grammatical object; the allative concept was often expressed by the accusative case in Latin and Greek, but it's not an object precisely. Your "ablative-instrumental" right now sounds a lot like a pure ablative. Nowhere have you expressed an "instrumental" function. Also, the statement, "The ablative instrumental is used when something or somebody did or does something," is extremely vague; I think you're trying to say that it is used to signify the agent in a passive sentence. AAAAAAAAGH! The comparative word is "than," not "then"!! Your bit on the "equative" doesn't really make sense, but if you're modifying a verb, it's not a case.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, January 21 2006 07:34 Profile Homepage #80 A quick check reveals that "Teuton" was a Medieval Latin term for all Germans, although it should most properly apply to the older tribe. The OED explains that "Dutch" comes from a very old German word for "people," which originally covered both the Germans and the Dutch, and when the modern Dutch became distinct from the Germans, English speakers used "Dutch" for the nearer of the two groups and made up a new term for the farther. I neglected to mention another way in which a people can get a name: extension from the proper term for only a small group of them. We call the Greeks "Greek," for instance, because of the Latin word graecus for them, but that Latin word was in turn derived from the Greek word graicos. The Greek word could only properly be applied to residents of a particular city, Graia, in southern Italy, the first Greeks with whom the Romans came into contact, but the Romans extended it to all Greek people. EDIT: Oh, duh. I should've got it immediately when you said that you were talking about 800 and later, and you set "het Frankische rijk." The word for "Frankische" in English is "Frankish."

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, January 20 2006 20:54 Profile Homepage #69 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: If you're hydrophobic, you may be a lipid. You may also be rabid. In other news, "nephilim" may in fact be a term taken from an archaic word for something, as our term "German" descends from the Latin word for the cultural group, or likewise the term "Apache" descends from, er, French, I believe. I think our name for the Dutch comes from a corruption of what they call themselves, and if I guess correrctly, so does our term for the Russians and Poles. Indeed, the term "Indian" as applied to Native Americans shows that a word can be recycled to apply to an entirely different set of people than it originally did. The word "nephilim" — since it does not have a standard English plural — must be a foreign word of some kind, but whether it is a nephil word taken into the human tongue or a human word from another language (or an archaic dialect — or even an old term being re-used) is up for grabs. I personally am inclined to think that it is a human word from an archaic dialect, but that's just because the features seen in the word do not seem to match any phonetic system that we can deduce from nephil names. (This has the advantage, too, of more nearly matching the real etymology of the word.) -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

If you know of any, presumably he'd like to know. If you were feeling particularly generous, you might refer him to the places where he might find such people who would make graphics for him for the fun of it. (Sorry if I'm repeating information that you know. It just seemed worthwhile to repeat and summarize what's been said in this topic.) -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls! Ephesos: In conclusion, yarr.
