Yag har nu opnat en open source ordliste med etymologiske basdata for samskandinavisk under linken "Database" til venster. Det stįr frīt fram for alle...
Interesting! Also before it you add to many records to this and paint yourself into a corner, maybe you could include Icelandic and proto-germanic in this...
Thank you for your good comments. Proto-Germanic: I would add an additional field immediately if there was room for more than 10 fields. Middle Low German...

Yag endrade feltet for ur-indo-europeisk till medellįgtysk. Som tabellen stįr nu er alle sprįk som er direkt relevante for mitt projekt inbegripne. For at...
What if you just have one column for etymological data? Afterall, an entry is unlikely to be from Proto-Indo-European but NOT also from Middle Low German or...
Then again why not have several? In that way each entry will have an informative header. I may still choose to leave some columns empty. For borrowings from...
Takk for data for ordet skyuve. I det fall ordene łpplevs hélt łlike og ligger sas. helt utanfor vįrt medvetande om etymologisk tillhoyrighet kan de legges...
Sorry Joupe, I can't understand much of the Samskandinavska. I am only good at 2 languages -- English and Bad English ;-) It was I who added that word. I did...
I would like to present to the group my latest conlang -- Frenkisch. Frenkisch is an outgrowth of my work in the Folksprak group. It is an attempt to make a...
Here is a text of Frenkisch. It is the Grimm's fairy tale "Rapunzel" Rapunzel Eins levde en mann ond en frauw, datt hadde wunschd lang fergeves for en...
The second installment of Grimm's Rapunzel in Frenkisch. Dann liet Rapuncel falle de flejten aff hirer hair, ond de hex klimmd oven tou hir. āInfall iss...
Seems a pretty logical development of the anglosaxon Futhorc. :) If that had remained the primary alphabet north of the Alps, instead of being replaced by the...
Interesting work. And it is revolutionary in that it is a phonetic rendering of English. Mind you, I am pretty ambivalent about spelling reform for English...
... I think the current spellings too often "loose" (by which I assume you mean "lose") the links with etymological relationships or the link with the Old...
Maybe before we reform the English spelling system, we need to contrive a canonical "con-dialect" of English that has all the phonemes that we want to retain....

I have made known my objections in principal to the idea of English spelling. But as a thought exercise, I do have one or two ideas about how to approach it. ...
As a trained actor I sometimes have to use this "careful" pronunciation on the stage. In those cases I make a distinction between "Tudor" ["tju:d@] and...
Everything you have said below sounds reasonable. Unlike you, I am not opposed to the IDEA of English spelling reform, I think it would be a good thing for...
