Hello & Goodbye

Being words that are used a lot in daily conversation, the words for hello and goodbye are shortened a lot.

Originally, exclamations like

Ἁeιc καᴧεн ευтιεн - May you (sg) have a good day

or

Cου καᴧυ мεнeι ευтιε - May your day be good

could be used either to begin or end a conversation.
The latter would be shortened to

Καᴧυ ευтιε - good day

or with less emphasis on good:

Єυтιε καᴧυ - good day

Which is interchangeable with adding the prefix ευ- to καᴧυ:

Єυκαᴧυ - goodday

And finally, children and young adults often just say:

Καᴧυ - day; hi, hey, hello, bye

The same happens with

Ιeιc ἁοнтιι тυxεн ευтιεн - May you go having good fate/fortune/luck

Ιeιc (cυн) тυxει ευтιει - May you go (with) good luck

Both meaning "bye".
This would lead to

Ιeιc ευтυxει - May you go goodfortuned

Deformalised to

Ιтι ευтυxει - Go goodfortuned

Finally

Єυтυxει - goodfortune; goodbye

And ofcourse

Тυxει - with fate; bye

Obviously, there are many more ways of expressing greetings or good luck, but these are all formed in a similar way.

Διυ εнтрα Λυрιοнαιc (part 4)

Yay, my first Lurion myth! It's about Seufno. The name has become a noun in lurioneski:

cευφнο means 'drunk' or "binge drinker" or any other pejorative description of someone who drinks too much water or more commonly alcohol.

The water near the Lurion coast is generally clear and blue, by the way, and good for swimming in the hot summer sun.

After two days near the geriman border I have reached the coastal village Bluposkia (Blyposcia), famous for its fountain. Surrounded by water stands the statue of Hidor carrying his shield on his back and in his right hand his iron (sword) downward. In his left [hand] hangs the head of Seufno, from whose eyes, mouth and neck flow waterfalls. Seufno drank a lot and his thirst grew so big that he first drank rivers and later all the seas. For this hybris did Hidor punish him, he cut off his head, releasing the rivers and lakes and seas.

Διυ εнтрα Λυрιοнαιc (part 3)

I like bread. As long as it's good bread; I don't like those german bricks. Ham and red peppers on bread with sesameseeds. Hmm. I wouldn't enjoy eating Euchleban bread al day, though.
This passage is quite weird, especially on its own.

Continuing my journey, I enter the following day Euxleba (Euchleba), where there are as many non-bakers as hairs on top of my fathers head. While I walk in the evening, a naked man, big given below, and his geriman boyfriend pass me singing and laughing. Having lost my appetite/hunger for bread I return to sleep.

A Naupilan Prayer

Here is a Naupilan prayer on the god of water, Ἱδοр. It is written with a naupilan accent and in capitals.

ΛAUΔEТAΙC ἹΔΟР ῾UТТAРЄC ΚЄНΙЄC MAРЄCΚЄ EΛΙЄC ῾UΔЄΓXЄCΚЄ ΔЄΔWНТΙΟ CЄUΦНΟН EНΟТWНТΙΟ ЄΓXΙНΟ UΚΙЄΔΙНΟΚЄ ΦAUΔΙНΟΚЄ ΔЄCΠΟ НAC НWC РΙΟРEΙCΚЄ.

Praise.opt.pass. Hidor seas dark lakes-and light rivers-and give.pf.adj Seufno kill.pst.adj flow.inf.gen freeze.inf.gen boil.inf.gen master ships.acc our return.trans.opt.

"May you be praised, Hidor, who has given the dark seas and the light lakes and the rivers, who killed Seufno, lord of flowing and freezing and boiling, and may you let our ships return."

By the way, the last word shows a new feature/verb-infix I've added to Lurioneski: the 'transitivitiser', -οр-, to indicate causing the action to happen, turning an (often) intransitive verb into a(nother) transitive verb, e.g. ὑδεр φαυdι (the water boils) > ι φαυδοрω ὑδрεн (I boil the water).

Farteski noun cases

As you might or might not have noticed, I've removed a post about Farteski, because I am not sure how nouns will be formed. I am pretty sure it's gonna be all about markers instead of suffices. I have, however, thought about the cases:

Farteski has way more cases than Lurioneski. Lurioneski is more about interpretation, Farteski is a bit more specific. It has 13 cases (as for now):

Nominative - (no marker)
Subject.
Predicative - i
Says something about the subject or object in combination with the verb. (*)
Accusative - e
Object.
Dative - u
Indirect object.
Adverbial - a
Adverbs.
Possessive - í
Indicates possession.
Instrumental - o
The means by which the verb's action is done.
Locative - ô
Location.
Vocative - ü
Addresses whoever is spoken to.
Ablative - è
From / away from.
Lative - é
Towards.
Causal - á
Cause.
Final - ó
Reason.

*E.g.: "I am smart" or "it made him sick". I'm not sure if this is the right name for this case, it was the only one I could find appropriate.

I think Farteski is going to be a real conlang, not just a stub. I'll have to see how it'll work out, though. And don't worry, I will certainly keep my attention focused on Lurioneski.

Διυ εнтрα Λυрιοнαιc - Posting Paragraphs

I'll add new paragraphs of my story Διυ εнтрα Λυрιοнαιc on the go as well as adding them to the actual page, so you'll know when something new has arrived, and giving you the possibility to add comments. They'll be labelled "diu".
The first 5 paragraphs are already done, so I'll post them quite fast after eachother. The introduction can be found here and an extraordinary sentence here. These posts might contain some mistakes or inconsistencies, as I will only change those in the whole story.

Without further ado, here's the second paragraph, about the Cyclarbrium:

---

Having travelled 12 days and having arrived in the village Ataltarbria, I am now sitting in the shadows. Here they worship Hasmo the Young and Beautiful. Ascending the steps I go to the Kuklarbreie (Cyclarbrium), a round temple surrounded by trees, where the hasmint of each year and the fourteen-year-old boys meet. On the left hand of the statue, on which light shines through the hole in the temple's roof, of the cloaked Hasmo stands a sparrow. The roof is fifteen arms high, the statue half that, behind which I see a hallway, I think decending into the forest. A priest tells me friendly but seriously that only the hasmint is allowed to enter. Having understood that, I return, going to walk in the forest.

Aᴧφαβαртα (Alphabet)

I've finally come up with names for the Lurion letters. So here they are:

Aᴧφα
Βαртα
Γεια
Δευα
Єᴧтα
Zeтα
Eтα
Ιтα
Κοππα
Λαδα
Mυα
Нeα
Οмрα
Πecα
Рοα
Cιгмα
Тαυα
Uнα
Φαια
Xιтα
Цιδα
Wα
Ἁ

Aren't they one joyful bunch?
The last one isn't actually part of it, as it is not a letter but a diacritic, but who cares, as long as it makes him happy..

On are more serious note, all (real) letters consist of two syllables, the last being the female nominative singular suffix, -α.
Please note:
Єᴧтα is the short /ɜ/, while Eтα is the long /e/ (not the ancient greek Èta: /ɛ/).
Furthermore, Wα is Óa, the long /o/, not a W (/ʋ/ or /w/).

Gerimeski phonology

How'd you like that? 2 phonologies on one day!

The Gerimeski phonology is very basic, though, for the Gerimes are much less sophisticated (even more so in the eyes of the Lutes).

p, t, d, k, g
m, n, l, r, s
f, w, j

a, á, o, ó, u, i, í, e, é
/a, ɐ, ɔ, o, u, ɪ, i, ɜ, e/

It's really that basic.
Silly Gerimes.

Farteski phonology

I have been think about what languages the people that surround the lurionas speak, for instance the Fartes. As for now, I've only worked out (most of) the phonology.

IPA *
latinised

p, b, t, d, θ, ð
p, b, t, d, th, dh

k, kh, g, x, χ
k, q, g, x, ch

m, n, l, r, ɾ
m, n, l, rr, r

s, ʃ, z, ʒ
s, sh, z, zh

f, v, w, j
f, v, w, y

h, ʔ
h, -
After a consonant, the h is drawn as a ', to avoid conflicts with digraphs, e.g.: th is [θ], t' is [th].

i, ɪ, y, ʏ/ø, u
í, i, ú, ü, u

e, ɜ/ə, ɛ
é, e, è

a, ɐ, o, ɔ, ɒ
á, a, ó, o, ô

This is ofcourse not the actual Fartan script.

Some examples (they are total gibberish, but show possible phoneme-clusters):

F'orténash, chramènozhin, qalrüt'enís, rrakxônáhá.

An example sentence

I just wrote a sentence which made me feel satisfied for its grammatical and poetical brilliance, if I say so myself:

Uπтα ἁтн εнтрα εн тεκтει тecειοц εнειнει ἱcтε ἱтι, βαᴧтрοц Ἁcмοц αφαнтιοц cιнιтιει мαнει мυцιнтιc cтι.

It is quite hard to translate it, as its word order is impossible in English. If you'd translate it word by word, you would get this:

On which.acc through in roof.dat temple.gen hole.dat light.nom shine.3sg, statue.gen Hasmo.gen cloaked.gen left.dat hand.dat sparrow.dim.nom sit.3sg.

But in normal English, in the most common word order, it would be:

On the left hand of the statue, on which light shines through the hole in the temple's roof, of the cloaked Hasmo sits a little sparrow.

Furthermore, the first half of the sentence shows alliteration almost mirrorshaped. The first letters from the words ἁтн to ἱтι are: H-EE-TT-E-HH. Another peculiarity is the fact that the H is a semi-vowel, the E is a vowel and the T is a consonant.
On top of that, the sentence is like a wrap, consisting of 3 different layers:
A-B-C-B-A, where A is the main sentence (υπтα ἁтн ἱcтε ἱтε), B is adverbial to ἱтε (εнтрα εнειнει) and C says something about εнειнει (εн тεκтει тecειοц).

Moving on, we see 3 genitives. Βαᴧтрοц is the antecedent of ἁтн, and says something about which мαнει. Ἁcмοц says in its turn something about whose Βαᴧтрοц, and αφαнтιοц either about Ἁcмοц or βαᴧтрοц.
The sparrow sits on the left hand, because the right hand is generally the stronger, and therefore left symbolises youth.

All in all, I'm quite fond of this sentence. It took me some minutes to formulate, but it is mostly (brilliantly) arbitrary.
