... I don't really agree. In Dutch, English and Scandy, for the most part, there seems to be little difference between i-mutated and original versions of *au....
For what it's worth, some English dialects still retain a wider meaning for 'starve'. e.g.: 'he starved from the cold'. Although it is still basically limited...
Welcome! I have been/am quite a professional lurker myself. Although sometimes it is hard to resist the temptation to comment on old threads, I somehow resist...
As I said, I'd prefer the word "deue". So I wouldn't use "sterve". Does this answer your question? Bye, Stephan ... meaning for ... basically ... this ... then...
... I agree. ... always ... I don't think its inexplicable. The vowel shift from "au" to "o" happens in Romance languages as well. I call this auflautung. LA...
Hi (what's your name?), Welcome to the group. Let me give you some feed-back: These are features that I don't agree with, I have already thought about them...
I actually removed the post before you answered, but ah, well. Anyway, could you link me to the most recent list of words that you guys have made? Is it the...
I actually removed this before you answered, but ah, well. Anyway, could you like me to the most recent list of words you guys have written? Is it the one at...
Hi Adam, The so called Folkspraak Institute is out of date. The development and discussion of this project takes place only in this group. This is a set of...
Bugger.. I was afraid that this was going to happen and I meant to copy the text of the article page. But I suppose it will be just as fine to start a new...
Hello again. I haven't really looked at the most recent list of the vocabulary or anything, but I did take a look at the way you guys "make up" words of the...
I've never considered the etymoloy of "or," so I may be talking out of ther wrong orifice here, but I had always imagined de "oder" and en "other/either" to...
Well, do you think "eder" would be a good Folkspråk version? ... of ther ... with ic ... would tie ... /f/ < > ... dutch's /T/ > ... because the ... happened....
I should point out that the Danish is "tårn" (allthough taarn is exactly thesame), but that å in this case (and in most cases) can be considered as the...
/D/ and /T/ are xsampa symbols, used in place of the IPA which is hard to reproduce on email. IPA for /D/ is a barred d, /T/ is the IPA theta. /D/ is a voiced...
Oh, as I thought then. Well, I don't think we should use /D/ unless we have a speciall symbol for it, like icelandic ð. Then I think we should rather use a...
Well my preference is for only basing Folkspaak words on words that share an etymological relationship. I know some other members make words from mixes of...
To a great extent of course, how any language is *written* is irrelevant. All the spelling shows you is how various monks half a millenium ago though it best...
If you read the end of the post, I also tried to make it as easy as possible to understand in a context for a speaker of any Germanic language. In Swedish,...
Actually, there are more languages using both eth and thorn or at least one of them. There are also some languages using an eth where the lower case form looks...
Heh. :] I took a thought about what you said about "other" having something to do with it as well. "You other me" > "You, otherwise me". "Otherwise" is...
... Hi Stefan. There is one place where cross-words may have their place, and that is with onomatopoeic words. There are words that sound like what they ...
... EN Other is directly cognate to DE ander, NL ander, Scandy andre/andra etc. It's lost the "n" due to the North Sea Germanic nasal spirant change. I think...
