This article is a work in progress.
The contents may be tentative, incomplete, inaccurate, in need of elaboration, subject to later revision, or just plain sketchy.

As a courtesy, if you are not the author of the article, please do not make edits to this article while this message is displayed.


The "Body Parts in Your Conlangs" template was created by Tom H. Chappell on Oct 26, 2006. It has been used to organize biological vocabulary for several conlangs. Below is a list of the conlangs which have used this template, and their response lists. These lists are arranged chronologically as they were created (this entire page was once an archived forum thread, but has recently been reformatted for ease of use). For an alphabetical list of submissions, see here.

For the actual template/questionnaire, see here.

Here are the words for body parts I have for Terpish so far:

Bol — belly Jok — eye Klit — clitoris Kof — head Kor — heart Liöshan — brain Mumbe — butt Piej — foot

Naturally, the Terps understand biology well enough to understand the appropriate place for the seat of emotion and consciousness (the brain). _________________

Talanese motional/locational/temporal prepositions are derived from body parts or other nouns (note, /a/ is actually more central, and /r/ usually is a tap, but they written as such for the ease of transcription):

My apologies, this was a neat table

In, inside of - Tendet (heart) /ˈtɛndət/ Out, outside of - Twizo (shell, skull) /ˈtwizoʊ/ Around (static) - Natan (skin, bark) /natɔn/ Through (static) - Ped (stick, rod) /pɛd/ On top of, Over (static) - Miye (hair) /ˈmijə/ Above, Over (static) - Aol (cloud) /ɔβ̞͡ɫ/ Underneath - Bundu (underside) /ˈbɵndʊw/ Below - Neeza (grass) /ˈniza/ Beside, Next to - Stabed (arm) /ˈstabəd/ In front of - Danćod (chest) /ˈdɔntɕɔd/ Behind - Kee (back) /k͜xi/ At (in a place; at a moment) - Se /sə/ Over (dynamic) - Meyl (wing) /ˈmɛil/ Under, Before - Asper (water) /ˈaspər/ Through (dynamic), During, While being in - Ense (spear) /ˈɛnsə/ Past, After - Huś (wind) /hʊɕ/ From elsewhere towards here - Sitei (source of river) /ˈsiti/ Towards a specific location Ula (gaze) /ˈʊla/ Away from here - Pridas (buttocks) /ˈpridas/ Alongside - Dedomheyet (lover, lit hand-holder) /dədɔˈmejət/ < relatively recent addition to the pronoun list, con-historically Off - Away, from touching - Donin (fall) /ˈdɔnɘn/ Into (place, area, state) - Raowemelek (field of view) /rɔwəˈmeilək/ (always makes me think 'raw milk') Out of (place, area, state) - Meśa (leaf bud) /ˈmeiɕa/ Around (dynamic) - Malman (orbit) /ˈmɔlmɔn/, dynamic form of /ˈmɔlma/, hug Moving around the inside of area or place - Sefse (sniff around) /ˈsɛfsə/

--- And no, this is not a confusing system. Talanese requires articles for nouns pretty much all the time (because nouns themselves don't inflect much), and of course prepositions don't have articles. It all came to me when I was reading a rather interesting text that had something to do with perception of time, progress and motion in Mediaeval paintings in the library. Actually, my whole TAM system is built upon inspiration drawn from that! ---

As for the body parts list, well... I haven't filled out much, yet, because I've chosen to do it elaborately. I have more words for body parts than there are on this list, but I just haven't reached them yet while filling it out!

Thanks for providing it, though. Here's what I have so far (.htm converted from .doc) http://www.by002.net/~neuteboo/bodyparts.htm

I'll get there... some time!

Here's some of the body parts that I have in Danšlağ. I haven't really gotten specific with them, although I have got the "main" ones.

body- ri nose- nopu ear- yakušu mouth- slata eye- aslo tongue- zabu teeth- clač tonsils- kakraku neck- uxač hair- skoru head- baru shoulder- tuŵ arm- cura hand- ğeš finger- baklaŵer fingernail- baklaŵeruka thumb- kuku chest- orka breast- ğuš stomach- iču lungs- abačeraku leg- laŵe ankle- etai foot- teš toe- kuklaŵer toenail- kaklaŵeruka genital- irosi penis- bamu vagina- omaru

That's pretty much all I have so far. I'm sure I'll add more after reading this, though.
