 Spock#1860 | Skrndl! My knij hurts... 😁 | 09:34:46 |
 ChristianSi | i believe strange things sometimes happen when ellipsis has drunk too much | 09:35:45 |
| Spock#1860 | Alcohol hinders you to talk or write properly. Might have rather been LSD. | 09:38:35 |
| ChristianSi | i don't know ... i find the skrndl much easier to pronounce when i'm drunk 😄 | 09:40:38 |
| Spock#1860 | Right. But making up a language and writing it down becomes harder :-) | 09:44:00 |
| ChristianSi | the other, even more frightening possibility would be that he was kidnapped and replaced by the evil lemon! | 09:45:21 |
| Spock#1860 | Ouch! | 09:54:18 |
| Spock#1860 | How could we know, and what could we do? Test him, maybe. Whether it's a good thing to have initial kn- in a lang like ekumenski... If "ellipsis" says yes, we have proof. | 09:54:25 |
| ChristianSi | also, let's keep an eye on his profile picture. if it turns lemon-colored, we know something is amiss. | 09:57:40 |
 ellipsis#3344 | that's none of your business | 11:49:23 |
| ellipsis#3344 | * that's none of your business! | 11:49:54 |
| ChristianSi | i hear the evil lemon speaking 😮 | 11:50:47 |
| ChristianSi | what do you think of the knalpot, ellipsis ? good word or bad? | 11:52:42 |
| ellipsis#3344 | The classic Interjargon proverb in Evropski: Mne pens što es est labs | 11:54:51 |
| ellipsis#3344 | no comment | 11:54:57 |
| ChristianSi | very suspicious! | 11:59:28 |
| ellipsis#3344 | if you pronounce "labs" with /bz/, you are simply wrong- it has to have /bs/ | 12:00:05 |
| ChristianSi | i think the new ellipsis and mr. spock will find much to agree on. phonotactics must be challenging to be fun. | 12:00:59 |
| ellipsis#3344 | what can i say, i just think zdrastvuj is such a beautiful word | 12:19:01 |
| ChristianSi | welcome to the server, mr. knellipsis | 12:31:07 |
| Spock#1860 | Easy for south germans... | 12:34:57 |
| Spock#1860 | That's not my old arch-enemy ellipsis... | 12:36:13 |
| Spock#1860 | Ellipsis, do you happen to have a new girlfriend? Maybe from Russia? | 12:44:57 |
 Dobridenský#0579 | Nice work indeed!
And I think the work is interesting from a psychological point of view as well: One could regard it as some kind of catharsis from someone who actually would never admit stuff like žm- or vr- in his conlang (not even Ekumenski has these clusters): With Evropski, di Maister Phootacticóphilus gave in to his personal demons.
Besides, I find zgrafi o be a particularly nice word. | 14:36:29 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | Once again, good thinking.
You mentioned one classic example: The diference made in Russian between русский and российский. In Ekumenski this would be reflected by rusi - Rusia - Rusiali (e. g. Российская Федерация - Rusiali Federat). So when the adjective refers to the country rather than to the ethnicity that gave it the name, one can always work with the default adjective marker -li.
This could work in the case of other countries too (e. g. thai - Thailand - thailandli: Di Mon in di provins de Kančanaburi e thailandli, ma ne thai popul).
Now the question comes up Esperanto might face too: Does a conlang really need this - and if yes, in which cases should one apply it?
In Cabir and Masa Tang I don't have this problem, of course: It would be just e. g. Italia "Italy" - keng Italia "an Italy person", basa Italia "Italy language", dom njam Italia "Italy restaurant" etc.
I am really looking forward to reading more about ki-tʃuŋnisi! | 14:56:50 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | trying to look even less schematic than esperanto
I first thought this was a typo. I guess most auxlangs do not only look less schematic than Esperanto, but they really are.
That's exactly one problem of Ekumenski: Actually it is supposed to be highly schematic, just that I would like to make it not too obvious. | 15:01:54 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | Wißo? | 15:03:17 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | * Wißo? 🤔 | 15:03:54 |

| Dobridenský#0579 | * Evropski spoken with Ekumenski accent, especially regarding the main stress. | 15:53:39 |
