Na'vi
I've managed to get myself on a panel for a local con this fall to chat about the science of Avatar. In theory, I'm there to talk about language. We'll see how many people in the audience are interested in that.
Tsrai
Tsrai now has nice set of postural verbs. I'm still thinking about the semantics of these, especially in verb chains, but I'm ridiculously pleased to be able to say this,
| we | or-ta | blas | rabbë | dzwai |
| 3SG | drink-PST | beer | get.horizontal | happen |
| He drank so much beer he ended up on the ground. | ||||
Inspiration
I recently got myself a copy of The Languages of Native North America by Marianne Mithun. What an astonishing diversity of languages this continent used to have. Language inventors will find so much inspiration in this book.
