Rex, You may want to change the group settings to moderate all posts from new members (you can set them to unmoderated once you know they are legit). It will...
Ceqli wiki is here. This is where I'm doing the work now, for the time being. http://ceqli.pbwiki.com/ Rex May rmay@... NOTE NEW PHONE: 1-970-218-0889 All...
There might be an error in lesson one in the new material. The example sentence is "Janzo zu te spun sa kom te cawal." but a few sentences later it says the...
You're quite right. "Ploy" is no longer correct. "Zu" is. I'll fix it. As for that 'da', I probably should do a little rewriting. You can say: felin kom...

Questions for everybody re this story I'm working on: http://ceqli.pbwiki.com/STORI-HU-HRANMAZO I've Ceqliized several japanese names here. My gut reaction is...
Is it necessary to make a distinction between 'young' and 'new', or is that an anglophone's prejudice? I currently have "gil" for "age" (from Hebrew), and...
I'm new to Ceqli, so my oppinion might not be very competent. I don't feel the necessity for the difference between "young" and "new". In the few cases where...
... OTOH, you bring a fresh perspective. ... I think you're right. ... Not wrong, but owing to the way 'sa' operates, it'd work better to say: go posel ko go...
Continuing to babble about this, you might say to a waiter. go falfa gosa pirun — ciq bir goko pirun hu bu je bezu. I dropped my fork — please bring me a...
The problem with using "unused" for "new" is that it doesn't really make sence in expressions like "new president", "new year", "new constitution" etc. For...
... Your input is proving very fruitful indeed! I'm now convinced that I need roots for "young" and "New." ... So maybe this gives us the two basic roots....
... Just did it. Thanks. ... You already convinced me that "gil" isn't necessary, so it goes. It'll be derived from the word for 'old' plus 'xa.' And your...
I've started reading the story, and it's quite a nice experience to read my first Ceqli text. ... unnatural. Would it be ... of names? My feeling is that...
... Why did you put "kwa" at the beginning of the sentence? Given that "kwa" is the object, wouldn't the more natural word order be "zi tem da dum kwa?" (The...
... Yes, I'm inclined to say they're optional. They have a slight advantage to signal the beginning of a sentence, but certainly not enough to require them. ...
... Ceqli is SVO, and OSV is allowed. When you use OSV, as in the example, you're sort of 'topicalizing' the object. But 'zi tem da dum kwa' would indeed be...
... My gzb makes a three-way distinction between "new in itself (incl "young")", "newly acquired by some relevant entity", and "as yet unexperienced". But I...
... After reading the whole thread I think the distinction you want is not "new" (of nonliving things) vs "young" (of living things), but "new/young in and of...
