Im sorry for making many small edits

• My connection is unstable and sometimes i lose the connection. this should change soon.

  Note. ITS WORSE NOW. Sorry. Sometimes it takes five tries to save one paragraph.

• copypaste seems to crash when eiting large sections.

Note to self: Soapboy level: catching candy etc --> extra lives etc, but catching orange --> death. (No, Fruit Ninja did not inspire this. If anything its much more similar to an obscure game from the mid 1990s where most fruits are good for you but strawberries kill you.)

pupwala ..... it's raining. Puptwala .... it might rain.

Tatap tabap

Pabappa /ts/ and /ps/

The Pabappa sound change /tʷ/ > /p/ could have caused much /tʷs/ to go to /ps/, but it would be recorded in the dictionary as /ts/ because I was not planning at the time to have Pabappa preserve distinct labialized forms of consonants long enough for the shift to take place. However, going through the entire dictionary I could not find a single example of /ts/ coming from an earlier /tʷs/ (which would have in turn come from the sequence /tus/ in Babakiam). Therefore, I have made no changes to the dictionary.

Pseudo agentive a

Pseudo passive u

S verbs

Special , not serial

NOTES

Things to do

• Find the conlang sample sentences. googling "I am standing between a cat and a rabbit" turns up only a far more abbreviated list.

• papiba > papi, bobidi > bobi, etc by reanalysis

• a suppletive negative for "to have"

• verbs can have triple person marking by rotating the medial consonant. One of them could be ki>wi>i. That is, it deletes itself.

• tweppi = inhabilitative alt ... call it the disabilitative?

• mention noppuppopi type verbs as if they were a special ial type. .. In orpprating person INSIDE the verb stem (not root

• Search for all pages containing the word "Lenian(s)" and either change it or explain it.

Other notes

Pautu biba ------> Parti ?

Inchoative possessive -bibu- (which is equivalentto bib) and cessative possessive ive

The inchoative may be šwu instead, e.g. blempwi "I got a bottle". Or the bib co u ld be padding for the swu . Can also be used for verbs like "teethe" (wiršwu?)

HUGE ERROR IN PABAPPA DICTIOANRY!!!!!!!

Almost ALL /sp/ in Pabappa should be /pp/!!!!! It came from the earlier cluster /sš/, but in the dictionary i forgot to change this to /šš/! The only exceptions are words like pasper "specimen, sample" where it comes from an earlier /səpp/ and words like blespa "conversation, dialogue" where it comes from an earlier /spr/

This is "bad" in the sense that the way I originally conceived the language no longer makes sense. However the change itself makes sense, since it aligns with the behavior of other consonants.

PTJHER NOTES

Poswa pepa "room" ----> pf- in possessive syncope. Pabappa beba stays. Thus e.g. Poswa sypfom "in my bedroom" but Pabappa pepubrebibam (sic).

Pios is glossed as WHEN. But how would I say WHOSE? Also consider bubumģpum alternation.

"pul" verbs ... pulma could be one of them

The inabilitative mood is the negative of the habilitative. It is paf/taf/af whereas the habilitative is pw/tw/w. Thus e.g. vwampafwabo "I can't eat you." It could be analyzed as an infix of -af- on the habilitative.

Also, the -ep- infix can rescue some fos of the habilitative from sound collisions.

SABER vs CONOCER

Also, remember to ditstinguish SABER vs CONOCER. Poswa's CONOCER verb is biam (from Babakiam bi ŋabibam)

Note, this is prtobably only due to analogy. it would otherwise more likely be bi ŋaibam, without the extra -b-. This would produce the final form biaebam, with two less contractions even though the original starting point was a shorter word.

Biaebambabo.

I know you.

... what is the far more common SABER verb? If WAEMA

Basapiepo waevabo!

I know the answer!

Waevefi!

I knew it!

If MIPU

Basapiepo mupabo!

I know the answer!

Mupefi!

I knew it!

NOTE, UP ABOVE IS BAD BECAUSE U>R BEFORE ER>U.

Could also just use PEPPE.
