According to the Silver Suits on the main list, today is Professor Barker's birthday (well, they say activation day, but I assume they mean the same thing...)...
... I, for one, am very interested! But as it is, I barely know where to begin. I've recently managed to obtain a copy of "The Tsolyani Language," the CD,...
... Hi! In Part I of the "Grammar," p. 46 ff, there are bits of dialogue and useful phrases that progress from simple to harder. You can pick and choose,...
...when I can compose them properly at home. I'll go over the books and come up with specifics. But first, a quick general question; why is the only...
... Dear Scott, Not all Tekumelani scripts are written rght to left. Not only is Yan Koryani written left to right, but so are Sunuz and Irzakh (although the...
Professor: I wanted to send you an encouraging word (because, on the range, they seldom are heard 8^D ). I would imagine that I speak for the list in general...
In an effort to get us back on track now that the intercalary festivities are winding down, I've posted a 'new years' card and meshqu plaque in the photos...
I've been feeling all constructed-language-prone lately and have been thinking about Tekumelian historical linguistics. Here's one conundrum that recently...
... The ancient history of that part of Tekumel is a confused mess. I should be consistent in calling the language of the ancient N'luss "Ancient N'lussa"...
... This is great! Thank you for the information; it seems rather, erm, well, exciting, in a pedantic sort of way. Is modern N'lussa directly descended from...
Greetings: But that's one of the reasons why it's such a great game. The history of the real world is a confused mess--myth mixed with reality, all obscured by...
Greetings: You might want to glance at this Yahoo warning in case you are wondering about strange mails on your computer from Yahoo or if a posting of yours...
I think that it's a shame this group isn't being used as much as it could be. After all, Prof. Barker himself reads it and comments on it on occasion – and...
Hi, I think that's a great idea. Remember too that words don't exist in a vacuum and that by learning one word, there are natural variations and associations...
Okay, let's get started! Today's word is ssyúkoi, sword. It is a noble noun. Used in a sentence: lúm mén máisur, tlassyú "I have a sword." Broken down,...
Please keep in mind that I'm relatively new to Tsolyáni (a kenggyélkoi, perhaps?) and I'm sure I'll make mistakes. If you catch any, please point them out....
Today's word is jayulénikh, armor. It is an ignoble noun. (As much of the audience probably uses Tsolyani for role-playing games, I'll cover a few words that...
Scott: Thanks for your word-a-day effort. I find information like this very interesting, and I'm happy you're doing it. Thank you very much, -- Rob Robbins ...
Thought this might be handy and/or fun for folks on this list; it's a chart of the International Phonetic Alphabet that will play an audio clip of each phoneme...
Today's word is a quick one, but it might come in handy. chegukh! It means "kindness," but idiomatically it means "please," "thank you," and "may I help you?" ...
... Hey, thanks, this is very cool. For others who check it out, you may need to have a Barker reference at hand though. The symbology is different from what...
... Good point; the webpage uses the International Phonetic Alphabet, without much extra explanation, assuming it's going to be used by elementary linguistics...
Hello all, I've just recently discovered this list, and am very happy to see it in operation. I haven't had a chance to peruse all the messages posted thus...
Today's word is máugha. Máugha is a cinnamon-like spice. It is relevant to us as the hated Enemies of Man, the Ssú, smell like this spice. Let's use this...
