Lexember Day 19: "I made a sentence"

[aldersprig]

thnidu responded to yesterday's post by asking me to create the sentence "I made a sentence". So!

laar, I

taar, you, subject

taarte, you two, and so on.

baar, he/she (person pronoun)

baarrte, those two, and so on.

archaic: baan, baante and so on (she, a group of only women).

gaan, it (animal/thing pronoun)

laanaan, me

taannan, you-object (taannante, you two and so on)

baarnan, her/him

gaanran, it-object.

---

Okay, phew, there's pronouns, so.

I made a sentence

Make, to create, to craft: Tair (this word, from an old word meaning "skill," which can also be seen in -tairook, "with care" or "with practiced care. Throwing something together or making something that isn't perceived as needing skill is died, from diedie, toss, this from the same root as dudiedah, tumble, from the loss post.)

Sentence!

we start with

iekiek, this exists (See also iekiekyent, a known fact.)

tel-, that which voices

teliekiek, that which give voice to an existing thing

telkiek

Need a break for some tea...

---

(This is the part where I need a punctuation to suggest the beginning of a sentence in my con-script, since I don't have capitals.)

Laar telkiek ezhtairak: I sentence (past tense)-make-(subject agreement)

Why do you need to mark the beginning of a sentence?

[aldersprig]

Not so much a need - I know some languages don't - as want to.

[inventrix]

Ahh! You said need so I was wondering. ;)

[inventrix]

Have you considered an under/overline on the initial character?

like this, for example.

ōr possibly this.

Is ‹eh› a vowel-sound symbol? I can't easily get to my bookmarks just now.

Some this-world scripts, like Devanagari, have a symbol to separate sentences. I don't know of any that have a beginning symbol, except for the Spanish special-purpose ¡ and ¿ to begin a question or exclamation.

Re: :-)

[aldersprig]

ops, change of transliteration there.

is another way to mark , as in let or bet. Hold on, let me make sure the rest of the world thinks that sound is the same as I do... yes, appears to be.

I was thinking of a small ^ or ° only down on the line instead as a superscript. But ^^ is a vowel and so is O.

Teliekiek, eh? For whatever reason, that particular word and its translation grabbed me. If ever I have icon space (and permission to borrow said word), I might have to figure out a writing icon and use that word as its keyword.

:-D Neat!
