Oct17A –  A Constructed Language

Oct17A Introduction and Table of Contents

Legend: Definitions, Terms, <Text>, «apa», -Tags-, and "Glosses".

Introduction

This is an artlang and is intended to be relatively unnaturalistic. It's a possible successor to Oct13 and Oct05A, which were inspired by Pete Bleackley's iljena; both those sketches have ended up being quite different from that. The current sketch is closer, but still has some additions, such as tense.

Each content word consists of a noun, a verb, and possibly a prefix; otherwise, inflection and derivation are syntactical. Each noun consists of 3 consonants with up to 4 interleaved vowels providing the verb. The prefix is a single consonant. There are some complications due to sound change. However, the phonology is more-or-less suitable for an auxlang.

Person Terminology

• The 1st person 1 refers to the speaker.
• The 2nd person 2 refers to the addressee(s).
• The Inclusive person Incl refers to the union of 1st person and 2nd person referents.
• Each of the above is termed local.
• The 3rd person is everything else.
• There are also a reflexive Rfx and an interrogative.
