I don’t get to garden today. The Santa Ana winds damaged the fence so one of my roommates and the neighbor are fixing it. So instead, ya’ll get updates! Yay!

One of the fun but sometimes frustrating things about translating is that you keep finding situations where what you did before doesn’t work. This is one of them. In previous sentences zɯ got the accusative case marker, but it could be replaced by the answer. So, new rule was noted: zɯ can’t be replaced by an object answering the question, it’s unmarked.

Example Usage:

PEJ = pejorative

Singular, Paucal, and Plural

Lexember 2017 - Ie, Part 1

Ie was supposed to just be a naming language for use in my Shard-verse stories, but me being me, it’s grown a bit. I’m trying to restrain myself because I don’t need another big project AND I still can’t actually make names in it.

Since it’s a lot simpler than Ŋyjichɯn, being an isolating language, I’ll be doing a bunch at a time. I’ll give the IPA in parentheses.

• zŭ⁴xō⁴b – ornament, decoration (zu˧.χəp˧)


• cĭ⁶zu¹ – name, title, to call (tʃy˧˩˥.zʊ̜˥)


• tyōu⁵ – flower, bloom (t^hjəʊ̜˧˥)


• diu¹ – keep, possess, hold (tiŭ˥)


• diu¹-wŭĭ⁷j – writing, to write (tiŭ˥.ɰuyj˩). From diu¹ + ŭĭ⁷j (word)
