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...
... Are morphemes stressed the same independently of whether they stand alone or are in a compound word? ... I don't have any problem with /'ka.nor/; it seems...
... I've often felt that Tceqli could distinguish compounds from discrete words by an application of stress. Perhaps a level or unstressed profile for core...
... As I see it, yes and no. With a compound of 2 1-syllable morphs, like gayrdom, the stress is on the first syllable, but since neither morph had any stress...
... Does the pattern I described in my reply to Jimzo make sense to you? ... Good. Of course, my regional accent is Indiana, much like Festus. ... When I...
How's this look? http://www.geocities.com/ceqli/Tceqlireader.pdf Rex May rmay@... See some of my cartoons at: http://homepage.mac.com/rmay/ NOW UPDATED...

A couple of problems: go vol kom. I want to eat. This is considered a shortening of go vol ke go kom. It's distinguished from "I voluntarily eat." because...
Maybe the problem is the meaning of "pinmo", which takes something noun-ish as an object. Either a noun or a clause. Could the solution be a word like...
... More or less. If I forget to eat, it implies there was some period when I was too distracted to know I ought to eat. Maybe the problem is with your gloss...
... That's true... I hate to lose the simplicity of 'go pinmo dja'. I'm inclined to think at this point that it's not really ambiguous. The problem is that...
... Hm. Now, in English "I know to read." is analagous with "I remember/forget to read." My problem is that I'm an English- speaker and that's what 'know'...
Semivowels bother me. I've flipped back and forth in Tceqli, allowing ai, ei, oi, ui to be diphthongs, because they look better to me than ay, ey, etc. OTOH,...
OTOH, if y and w disappear, we'll lose all those neat French (and other) borrowings like bwa, dwa, fwa, kwa. At this point I'm talking myself into letting i...
Inspired by LFN's Franka and a very good suggestion from Dana, I added a mascot to the Ceqli site. http://www.geocities.com/ceqli/Uploadexp.htm Pretty cute, if...
I'm still puzzling over names. At this point, Ceqli has two ways to designate names. With the 'ti', analalgous to Loglan 'la', and the morph 'zo', which is a...
From: ceqli@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ceqli@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rex May ... I would say just stick with "ti" and eliminate the suffix. That way "ti"...
... Hm. Now I'm trying to retrace my thinking in adding the -zo in the first place. But I like your new definition of "ti". That just might solve the...
... But you could write compounds with a space between "ti fran pan", or not require a marker on derivatives or compounds. ... Since it's no longer a proper...
... Such solutions might work, but the basic principle of being able to use a name in a compound remains. And the point is that in, say helvezofroma, the helve...
... In a way, it is indeed redundant. Let me summarize the situation as I see it: 1. Names are, and should be, a separate category. Thing is, the category is...
... "japanzohaym" is more concise than "ti japan beti sa haym"; I would suggest keeping "zo" but maybe limiting its scope to _only_ deriving compounds from...
I've given this a lot of thought, and I think I may have a solution. First, the normal Ceqli system is to have 'bracket particles' of the form x...beX. to...
Not getting any input, but I've just about decided that za...zo is the way to go for names. Speaking of names, I've been thinking about latin scientific terms...
