Mipa 'upxare ta Pawl! Txantsan!

[Ekirä]

Wou nìngay! Set awngar lu pxaya lì'u letsranten.

[Ftiafpi]

So happy when I saw this on my fmawn feed. I imagine that we'll see these more frequently now that all the meet-ups and panels are over.

['Oma Tirea]

So if I'm understanding correctly, sìltsan is the opposite of fe'... but then what is the opposite of kawng?  lefpom?  nitram?  Or is it still sìltsan?

Apparently 'nothing (action)' is kekem rather than the expected *kawkem.

[Prrton]

Apparently 'nothing (action)' is kekem rather than the expected *kawkem.

It makes sense as a parallel to ke'u. It doesn't contain the extra internal emphasis of kawtu, kawkrr, etc.

I suppose having these variations makes it more like an organic language as well.

Nowhere is kawtseng, though, right?

It is

Also note the confirmation of the expected zìsìtay (implying zìsìtam), and the curiously lacking attributive particle in the title.

[Kamean]

Lì'uri amip sunu oer nìtxan.

[Ftxavanga Txe′lan]

Txantsan nì'aw!

[Tirea Aean]

Yeah... I was expecting Txantsana Ultxa a mì Siätll

I wonder if this was intentional or not? All this time, I have seen most people use the attribution there (which makes sense) instead of leaving it out, which reminds me of English. Perhaps habit? good eye, I didnt catch "zìsìtay" but it makes sense that it would exist (alongside the supposed zìsitam) which parrallel nicely with trray and trram.

kekem was interesting, but makes sense. I agree that such variation seems organic (yet still logical in some way) I like "kekem ke si" better that "ke'u" as a lame generic answer to "kempe si nga?"

[Ftiafpi]

Funny, to me it seems to make more sense to leave the attributive particle out. Maybe that's just my English bleeding in.

Me too and I know another man which isn't keen of this word. But Paul decided, we must accept...

[Tirea Aean]

why are you guys also then not dissatisfied with ke'u over kaw'u?

[Kamean]

I don't agree with this dissatisfaction. In my opinion all okay.

[Tirea Aean]

I must be the forever alone nonconformist who actually prefers kekem over kawkem.

[Prrton]

I think kekem is just fine too. Again, it just makes the language seem a bit more organic.
