[Ftiafpi]

Received a thank you from Karyu Pawl for the birthday wish and the song I sent him, got this new word in his reply:

STXE.li 'gift, present'

NICE!! and ALSO a prime example of how unreliable deriving affixes really are. one would have expected "gift" to be a derivative of give.

[Plumps]

Great! Thanks for sharing—this song is awesome! and you deserve the credit!

And an example for tìtstunwi "kindness".
Given the 'warning' that the tì- forms need to be listed (or did that only include forms made from verbs?) it's good to know

[Kì'eyawn]

Good catch, ma Plumps.  My brain skimmed right over that without catching that it was a new tì- word.

[Tirea Aean]

Tìtstunwi ayngeyä oeru teya soli.

ta Pawl

yeah. canon.

well according to him a long time back, tì- is for deriving abstract nouns. kindness is just as much an abstract noun as friendship, guidance, strength, power, and the other tì forms. I wouldnt expect a word for like "cat" or something to have tì.

oooo TAAAronyu!!! more words!

[Swoka Swizaw]

"Stxeli?" I like it!

Thinking forward, srese'eia oe stxeli tìng (or, perhaps, instead if tìng, a more general si) being to present/give something as a gift.

[Kemaweyan]

Ma Ftiafpi, irayo

Ma Swoka Swizaw, I think tìng is better. And perhaps it becomes single word stxelitìng (like pänutìng)

Tewti! Mipa aylì'u! Thanks for sharing

Great news, man.

Added.

[Meynari Ke'nawm]

Wow. An object crumbles with time, but words are forever. Good job.

Please do not necropost; that is, do not post in topics which have not been posted in in two weeks or more. Thank you.

And why not? Not everyone is on here all the time. I'm sure there are still some new people coming to LN. Case in point: Meynari has only been here since Oct 31. If you mods don't want "necroposting" to happen then perhaps y'all should lock the topics that haven't been posted in for 2+ weeks. Just a thought.

There is a difference between posting in an old thread and necroing it. This mainly comes down to content, if the person posting has something new to add then it's fine and isn't necro, if their post doesn't add much to the discussion then it probably is. Locking topics would stop people from being able to do the first and that loss would arguably be worse than occasionally having tell people not to necro.

Ok, I understand that, but what is the big problem about "necroposting?"

Ok, I understand that, but what is the big problem about "necroposting?"

1) Culture — it's widely considered rude on forums all over the net, not just here.

2) Danger — since our knowledge of the language is so fluid, and has developed over time, bringing back some old threads is genuinely dangerous.  It might be bringing bad information back into discussion.

3) Tedium — "me, too" or "nice!" posts to very old posts clutter things up for other people reading the forum. We have more than enough new topics to keep up with.

4) Shouting into the wind — the person the necropost resonds to might not even be here any more.

If a post to a long-gone thread actually raises substantive points, it's not usually considered necroposting.  That's why we stick with an age warning on old posts, rather than locking them outright.

[Muzer]

Agreed - I'll also add that thread resurrection quite often leads to more people not checking the date (because it's at the top of the list), which in turns lead to pointless discussions with people correcting things the original poster said - except that they said them back when those things were thought to be true, so it's really superfluous and irritating.

By all means, resurrect a thread if you have something substantial to add - but not just to show your agreement to a post, for example.

[Txonä Unil Stä'nìyu Rolyusì]

Thank you Muzer and Wm. Annis, that is exactly what I needed to know. Also, thank you for being polite about it and not making me feel like a skxawng for asking about necroposting. And I do apologize for my excessive off-topic posting in this old thread.
