... Agree completely. I tend to go off on tangents. ... No. What we have so far is: http://www.geocities.com/ceqli/kinharzo.html Rex May rmay@... See...
All kidding aside, if Tceqli nouns are defined as meaning "is a X" just as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions are defined as "is X", will it screw anything...
... X", ... Two things to think about: 1) "go to djin" = 'I am the person' still has to be okay, and I see no problem there. 2) I found it difficult going in...
... It should probably work. I reckon it will make some sentences a bit more verbose and others less so; perhaps you could experiment with some of the...

Added a link on the main page to kinharzo http://www.geocities.com/ceqli/kinharzo.html And added a sentence to the story. Then I got writer's block. How's it...
... Actually, I suppose a lot of compounds are possible for the general meaning. breynsilno (brain-strong) is another. With actual use, they'd probably pick...
... As Tceqli stands, 'ca' means 'quality of', so power or strenght would be silnoca, and then intelligence would be dumsilnoca, burusilnoca. djin burusilno...
Hey, I just tried something I thought impossible. I uploaded the dictionary file to the site. I'm not sure everybody can open it, because it's in Filemaker...
... They sound too much alike. I always wondered given the source languages, why not just use the Mandarin prefix <bu> for opposites. It would fit in very...
... You are quite right. I get obsessed with reversibles, and I forget that they're not always that useful. I'll find a word for 'easy' and put a po to it. ...
... There's often a difference between "not-X" and "un-X". Tceqli needs to keep the distinction between po- (opposite) and bu- (not). I'm kind of ambivalent...
... Agree all around. Po is opposite, and bu is just not. The first makes the word 'difficult', and the 2d just means 'not easy' in a literal sense. For...
... Is the /uj/ in "kuyno" a permitted diphthong in Tceqli, though? ... Reversed as "snuiw" if I guess right... yeah, if the base word isn't too hairy, the...
... Thing about this is, tho, I've been convinced that 'easy' doesn't need a reversible, as it or it's opp won't be used a great deal in compounds, I think. ...
... Um.... I wasn't clear. "chalepon" means "difficult", not easy. (At least I find bananas slightly easier to eat than fish.) If no reversal is needed, why...
... True there is a difference between antithesis and simple negation however the Mandarin <bu> is used in words like <bu-hao> ("bad", "not" + "good") which is...
... Ah, good. Following the Eo principle that the more positive form is the base, I coin 'zili' , as an anagram from English 'easily', more or less, making...

Stress bothers me. Tceqli has plenty of two and three syllable words, and I've tried to think of the best way to handle stress rules. Currently, the rule...
