finding dora (qwamaq, olsem, horiti)

This is a topic for my ongoing web serial that features three conlangs and a robust storyline. This is mostly fiction, but I ask that people engage with it as if it was real to make it a participatory experience. Field linguistics coming soon!

:eyes: CONLANG SHOWCASE IN THREE HOURS

Yā€™ALL. phono time!!

data!!!

NEW UPDATE SO SOON?

wow! (a lot more data to play around with!)

what precautions are you taking to ensure that you donā€™t accidentally spread novel pathogens in the alternate world?

I wash my hands regularly, and I did so before I left! should I be taking more precautions? I donā€™t want anyone to get sick!

iā€™m not an expert, but as you probably know, when different populations of humans come into contact with each other they can give each other illnesses that they themselves have adapted to. i think it makes sense to wear a mask, and practice some distancing and no touching, just in case. you donā€™t know a lot of things about these people, so best to be careful

youā€™re right! Iā€™ll wear a mask next time

New BIG update!

some very cool new data here

interesting they seem to attach the same 'faq affix to their utensils as they do with the sarong

also have a hunch that epi is some sort of 3rd person pronoun, like ā€œĖˆtusala Ėˆepiā€ could be something like ā€œthey climbā€ and ā€œŹƒoĖˆaki ĖˆŹ”epiā€ could be something like ā€œthey [something relating to rock]ā€ (maybe ā€œthey are a rockā€?). it would also make sense for the question about you to include epi. but at this stage this is just pretty much wild speculation

excited to see more!!

oh these are really good points! it almost reminds me of lojban? but itā€™s been a while since I knew even a little bit of lojban.

:flushed: Zhoniker is so sweet to meā€¦ I think I am falling in love with this small family. Every day I get closer to being able to communicate freely with the Qwamaq!
