Lēian ivlúb auzeri!

Happy new year (or, if you're going literally by the above- happy year)!

Sandic is still alive and kicking. I've got a few more stories/poems translated into it (including a handful of Christmas carols) which I've simply been too lazy (I know, I know) to type up and put here. My tendency to do things offline is a bit counterproductive for a blog, but I'm working on it.

Anyway, here's hoping you're well, wherever you are.

More words in cat sign

Now that I have a good way to share the words, I'm bursting to. I have a fewdozen words already made in Cat, but have never had a way to relay them to people except for videos or images, which are bulky and time-consuming.

Anyway, here are some:

WOMAN - /pc!t(pm)[5!s]>H/
WE,US,OURS - /(pc!f(pm)[T\!s]XB) ([T\!s]->(_sh_!f(pm)[B\!s]))/
I,ME,MY - /m!t(in,md,rn,pn)[T!s]/
PLANT(N.) - /n[F!s]!fq:||/

Trans-scribed my first Cat Sign word into SLIPA! :D

Before I had only done letters.

The word is KISS.

/ul!t(pm!s):||/

"sideways palm touches the upper and lower lips twice"

:) I'm excited.

Cat sign SLIPA

I'm learning SLIPA to use with Cat Sign. Hope this makes the little language take off! I'd love to get to the point to where I could do a "Babel text" in Cat Sign. ;)

Scroll past the pictures to see a list of transscriptions.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I haven't posted in what feels like ages, but that doesn't mean that I've been completely inactive in the conlang-related sphere. I'm kind of an offline-oriented person with my conlang stuff (even though I spend a lot of time online, if that makes sense?), so much of what i do never even makes it here. That said, though, I do enjoy sharing and occasionally hearing comments, so here goes again!

Also, Happy thanksgiving (Or as the yaundin would say, " Mohnab ba gobthîâ lēian auzeri! " (Happy turkey day to you!) or Mohnab ân kaja lēian auzeri! (Happy day of thanking to you!).

First off, videos that I've uploaded:
* Ba bren ber ta klamekan (The sheep and the horses) - here
* Jwr pian daniab (' God (gave) you something' ) - here


I translated a portion of a children's book, " The Dancing Man ": (13 Sept. 2011)
