Romance Story Idea.

She was a princess, isolated and abandoned. Cursed by birth to reduce the power of any being who dared to touch her.

He was a prince. Complex and irrational. Yet possessed a power so mysterious and unknown that could be altered by his will.

Only he was the one, whose power the princess couldn't alter. The first one to embrace her in years he was.

When the princess finally looked at him after her embrace, tears of joy rolled down her eyes, to find his power still and unchanged.

She held him and cried, years of loneliness and pain spilled from her eyes, leaving the irrational prince in a confused frenzy. Her first ever laughter came through her mouth at the sight of his confused face.

Enchanted by her lush laugh, the prince too smiled, and held her in his arms for as long as she wanted.

This is the heartfelt tale of princess d/dx and prince e^x. A cursed princess and an irrational prince.

Noun derivation Strategies in Ngįout

I suddenly had a spark of inspiration today to continue working on Ngįout, and I wrote this up in the documentation. I also wrote a big chunk of the verbal derivation section, but I'm not done with it yet. In any case - here it is! (basically copy-pasted from the document, with a bit of formating).

8.1 Noun derivation

Nouns can be derived from other nouns through compounding, or from verbs through various nominalization strategies.

8.1.1 Noun > Noun

At the most basic levels, nouns are derived from other nouns through compounding, with the syntax being the basic noun-genitive relation of two juxtaposed nouns:

Pę-dö “lamp” < Pę “shell” + dö “fire”

Jẹ́-bẹt “millipede” < Jẹ́ “worm” + bẹt “limb”

There are a few nouns that are commonly used in compounds to create similar derivations:

Á “field” creates locatives - á-pe “food storage (lit. place of food)”

8.1.2 Verb > Noun

There are a few nominalisation strategies verbs can undergo.

8.1.2.1 Plain nominalization

This strategy zero derives from verbal forms - form V into agent nouns, and form IV into patient nouns:

Bäkngö “scream (v.), shout” > bang “scream (n.) (P derivation, that which is screamed)”, “screamer (A derivation, that which screams)

Sökngö “hold” > söng “doer, supervisor (A nominalization, that which holds)”, song “tool (O derivation, that which is held”)

For intransitive verbs, the type of derivation is chosen according to the level of agency the S has. Unergative verbs, with a more agent-like subject nominalize with form V, and unaccusative verbs, with a more patient-like subject nominalize with form IV:

Ga̋lį “flow” > ga̋ “liquid (S nominalization, that which flows)”

For second conjugation verbs all this is of course only orthographic, because forms V and IV are homophonous. For that reason this derivation strategy is rare for creating agent nouns of the second conjugation, with reduplicative agent nominalization being much more favored. 

8.1.2.2 Verb + Object Nominalization

This strategy derives agent nouns by creating a headless relative clause. The verb is put in for V, for a relativized verb in the third person, and is followed by a noun.

A subset of this strategy is reduplicative agent nominalization, where the object is the basic patient nominalization of the verb, creating a sort of reduplicated noun:

Lẹ “to tell a story” > Lẹ-lö “storyteller”

Anawį “prepare food, cook (v.)” > än-än “cook (n.), chef”

8.1.2.3 Subject+Verb compounds

These are technically just nouns followed by a relative clause, and so aren’t really verbal nominalizations, but they have verbs in them so I’m putting them here. A variety of nouns are created this way, with the basic relation of them being the subject of the verb. 

Bẹdöm-tö “leg (lit. limb that walks)”

Ki-akka “stylus (lit. bone that scratches)”

Töng-tę “wave (lit. water that jumps)”

Some nouns commonly head these types of clauses to create similar derivations. For example po “action” creates action nouns, and á “field” creates location nouns:

Po-akka “scratching (lit. action that scratches)”

Po-än "cooking"

ok so i came up with a fun idea for Werat just based on a decision we made a while ago. So the verb Rēnaj means "to go; to walk", and there's a set of verbs derived from it using an old compounding of what later became prepositions and the verb stem. I realized i could extend this. so now any verb of movement can take these prefixes to specify how the movement is happening or to where. now I have sets like Ħandēnaj "to approach (on foot)" and Ħafnot "to approach (by flight)", which is fun when translating into english lmao. this will now go further; i cannot be stopped

Derivation is so fucked up like. You do it once. Das velocity. Do it twice.? Acceleration. After that youre just masturbating furiously, and thats why i love physics

How does one compare and contrast morphological processes across different languages?

Morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies the internal structure of words and how they are formed. Morphological processes differ across different languages, and understanding these differences can help in language acquisition, translation, and language preservation efforts. In this article, we will discuss how one can compare and contrast morphological processes across different…

Macabre’s true derivation

[paizau]

Thinking about a few ways to derive the verb "wake up", what do you think is better:

Dödọyöttö - middle voice of dọzöyį "be awake", literally "make oneself awake".

Dọs-sįį - a serial verb construction of dọzöyį "be awake" + sįį "sit", setting the scene of someone waking and sitting up

Sǫ-dọzöyį - a serial verb construction of sǫį "be asleep" + dọzöyį "be awake", describing the change of state - one moment asleep, the other awake.

crazy that gravity falls was like, hey what if we made twin brothers, and one of them is the worse one. he gets bad grades, he likes to punch his problems, everyone thinks of him as “the other one.” he’s engulfed in a shadow that’s shaped like him. he doesn’t even have his own name—it’s derived of his brother’s name, the only one his parents planned on having and using. everything about him is derivative—imitative of another person (his twin brother) (the one everyone likes and wants) and is disapproved of for that reason (he isn’t just “bad at this thing,” he’s “not as good as his brother”). and then he ruins his brother’s science fair project (the one next to his own—no one noticed it because it’s not good, it’s almost stupid next to a “perpetual motion machine” made by a high schooler) (he tried to fix it) (he doesn’t know how; he’s not as smart as the guy who made it) and he gets kicked out. the potential of the money his twin could’ve made is enough to throw him onto the street, and he can’t go home until he makes that money back (the money that was never gained and therefore was never lost. he never had a chance of making enough). he took every job he could (his brother went to school). he got banned from multiple states (his brother bought a house). he traveled internationally and went to prison and had people try to hunt him down and kill him because he couldn’t make enough money (his brother’s house has three basements. he made them himself, as secure as can be). and when his twin finally summons him for help, things go wrong (he messed up this machine like the last one) (he doesn’t know how to fix it. he isn’t as smart as the guy who made it) (he tries to fix it) (he was never any good at reading and these blueprints are impossible, coded and fragmented and in a science that he didn’t know existed) (he tries to fix it). the townspeople ask who he is, and he doesn’t even say his own name (it was hardly his to begin with). and he invites them to a house that isn’t his to show off experiments that aren’t his because he needs to make money that can’t be his. everything he does for the next 30 years is in his twin’s name, for his twin’s sake. he had two funerals for himself and it isn’t even his body in the casket; he had to wear his brother’s name to both of them. if he had died before he fixed the portal, that funeral wouldn’t have been for him. we meet him as a funny and unique character, but in-universe, he’s only ever been defined by someone else.

and then they went, this is entirely in the background btw. most of that is going to be revealed in one episode and won’t be addressed again. he’s a primary comic relief, even. I’m ill about this.
