pipi something something squishy something something selo merger idk
LONNN
This takes me to my next point
Sphynx cats are [wasoweli] puki
YESSSS YEDS
using the words to refer to textures is fascinating
kala-akesi and waso-soweli kind of means we've eliminated separating by living environment
The gisi gisi community being leme'd after listening to each other talk in 10 minute intervals
YEAH
just one thing though is that worms and such
they're certainly more pipi than pukis but they don't have any shell
nods nods I was thinking about that
grubs .. caterpillar
I think a good definition of pipi is less of the exterior and more opf like. They're all squishy inside. Like they don't have any bo-OMGH HOMESTUCK ]??????
Like I think that's a
Weird space to talk about because pipi is so fucking diverse
opening up a crab to see its guts is all weird ko-like substances and such
Like a sea urchin is pipi and a sand dollar is pipi when they're alive
but then when they die they are like
Hard Only
snails are the perfect pipi antithesis
so over for us tbh
they're like goop ball but they also have a hard shell just one that doesn't encase them fully?? truly fascinating
four animal words...?🥺
that's like One (1) below what toki pona had though which is not much of a change
Hu
No I meant like
Pair soft squishy inside (boneless) with hard shell outside
There are very little wasoweli or puki that fit these criteria
ohhh like the pipi is defined by two things?
Worms are pipis because they have soft suqisi inside
yrue.
Like it can be either or i mean
nods nods yeah i get it
how's the wasoweli etymology hunt btw
pipi could perhaps recycle the elytra word
ohhh hthinks about it
the etymnology hunt is going poorly (i was minecrafting with gwayin)
But I am thinking like
gwayin...
Dragons are mythical creatures that are present in many cultures
And they can be very pukis in both sense
But I don't want to be like
The Gryphon haha
So I've been thinkign about it good
true .. real life wasoweli
Also thinking about this one fucking
Egyptian animal now
It's so fucked up i need to find it
I cant fucking FIND it
It's like
U know how the set animal is a fucked up aniaml nobody knows what itis
It was like that but more obscure +
I think it maybe looked like a camel with a long neck ???? like longer
idk
or maybe bigger body
it was like a big mound with a long neck i think
WAIT
I THINK I FOUND IT
rubbing my hands together in anticipation
Hm
Some fucking page of cryptid dot com called them "sta" but I literally Can't find that anywhere els.e What i have found are "serpopards"
The serpopard is a mythical animal known from ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian art. The word "serpopard" is a modern coinage. It is a portmanteau of "serpent" and "leopard", derived from the interpretation that the creature represents an animal with the body of a leopard and the long neck and head of a serpent. However, they have also been inte...
Which are what I think I was looking for
TRUE
Thsi is so fucked up
serpopard is such a goofy name
There is no known name in any ancient texts so we're gonna give them the goofiest name possible
Mmm
I don't know if I like it doe
It's like
wasoweli puki
I was looking into gryphons because like apparently they're Not just Europe
Which has rekindled my interest
I am jiust looking for a creature that like
Exists in various cultures but also isn't like
hee hee ur deity is now Mine
lon...
Likje
Quetzalcoatl is arguably a dragon which I think is interesting
Because like lung dragons are dragons and quetzalcoatl, while a feathered snake, is
Long and fuzzy patterns
TWO whole words with dragon etymology this is why gisi gisi best tokiponido
Anyway while I search for it I think these are good beast trifecta :
-
[wasoweli]: animals with a fuzzy exterior. This is mostly feathers and fur but it can also be other descriptors of similar nature. Most of them capable of retaining their own body heat.
-
pukis: animals with either a rough (scaly, bumpy, warty, scute-y, etc.) skin or smooth (slick or slimy) skin. Unlike [wasoweli], most of them can't regulate their body temperature. A big chunk of them are related to water environments, whether it be to reproduce or to live
-
[pipi]: Animals that have squishy, slimy interiors or that have hard, rock-like skins or shells that protect their bodies. Unlike [wasoweli] and pukis, these animals will most of the time lack any internal skeletons, as their outer shells fill that protective role. Another characteristic is that they're usually small in size compared to other animals
hell yeah
too lazy to look for etymology can we just make magi white
h nnnghgg but magi has the inactivity set of definitions that doesn't have anything to do with white
mmnmnm
yeah I don't know how magi can be specifically white??
I imagine it as less saturated. Gray even. but not... white
magi maybe needs a bit more exploring ka leme 'uge
We know it's like
Low energy kind of thing
But we haven't rotated it enough like other words
and of course sigka'i
I'll write a little thingy for sigka'i tomorrow maybe but it's pretty understood already
im thinking white could be just desaturation in general
pale and such
if something is just Colored Magi it could be an undyed piece of wool
saying bright yellow instead of pale yellow so people think of neon yellow instead kills millions every day
it could even be magi suno
with like, the brightness of magi alone being implied from the material
(often on the light side regardless because we Have pimeja
mukaski
im kind of having a dilemma about it where like. the word for white will be either pale coded (and hence should be merged with magi to avoid redundancy of having two whole pale words) or bright coded (bright is usually saturated so this may be nasa)
we CAN make it just white coded but that would be out of place with all the other colors having additional meanings
Nnnnn
I feel like both magi and some other white/suno coded word can coexist in that
magi implies a change in default color where another word can imply default
Like something suno can become magi and vice versa
Ultimately they're both white but
This is like a thing we have to explore a lot more I think
lon... fucked up how nature do dat
Are you walo (light skinned) or magi (suffering from illness)
wanna just coin a suno coded white for now and fuck around
the curse of etymology. hold on i need google rranslate
is the spanish word for white swagful
ive added some of the new words to the sheet btw, the three colors and pukis
not sure if i missed any
i guess i could add wasoweli and pipi and just leave their name blank
Blanco so mmmmnnweeehhh we can probably find a different one.... with a cooler meaning
with a cooler meaning too....
OH AND LEME
wait is leme color coded
leme i feel could describe any external sense as well as meaning affectation, similarly to pilin
a loud sound or a blinding white screen can leme you
Ah yes nods nods
it's probably a further gap from it because of the inverted perspective
menu Leme
magnum opus joke
really good
is latin white album??? why is she doing that.
from Latin, neuter of albus ‘white’ used as a noun meaning ‘a blank tablet’. Taken into English from the German use of the Latin phrase album amicorum ‘album of friends’ (a blank book in which autographs, drawings, poems, etc. were collected), it was originally used consciously as a Latin word.
mitski
OH
Oh qait
Not as fun fact
It's called albumin in English too
My b
Will be more fun next time 💔
embarrassing...
i should also note that leme's influence meaning is very much affected by the idea i mentioned earlier of like reality heeding to the will of the individual in a really like surreal mythy way
so you should imagine me thinking of leme as like the object is radiating vibes through its properties
or something
Pie making you float to the windowsill
i never got over the spells in hylics being gestures, like there's something about the idea of like symbolic acts and mimicking the flow of things with your hands will actually bend reality and kill people dead because youre in a fairytale space where physicality heeds to the symbolism
I love how varied they are too like
Somsnosa being all elegant and shit with the wave one in H2
And then Pongorma's lightning is just "what if I killed you"
menu Ka'i activating my neurodivergent switches left and right
im hitting allll the themes and symbolism buttons
I'm so excited for the hylics 3 odozierussy game
hozierussy
NO!!! THAT'S NOT HYLIC MAN

Wayne and Gibby in gisi gisi be like ummmmm mnmsnmmmd I don't know we don't have names for small and big but like waning is diminishing so like ummgngngbmf Neskili and Sigkesku
Wait not nesku
Kanesu
FOR REALL
names unironically go hard too tbh
ọcha is an igbu word for white theres no spelling on wiktionary
YOU FORGOT DEDUSMULNN ITS OVER FOR YOU
Dedusmuln's design in H2 is so good because he's a gay little archeologist but he HAS to dress like he's a dainty French fencer
Time 2 look up phonology....
Me about to say "Erm actually they never refer to them with gendered pronouns" but realizing I said "he" and putting a dollar in the misgendering jar
Anyway tell me more about ur fucked up Word
LOLL
it's so hard nunaku
fari in hausa means both white and good though
interrsingn
Also I gotta go bed so soon I am up too late but I want to say I really like the sort of deconstructions for the colors and ka
ווייַס
from yiddish
(YIVO, Litvish) IPA(key): /vaɪ̯s/
(Poylish) IPA(key): /vaːs/
(Ukrainish) IPA(key): /vas/
pa'is / pas perhaps
herhehe
goodniight
Interesting..... pa'is like from country in Spanish
Also I really want to follow the like mystical creature naming convention for pipi too but I need to find the slayest pipi creature out there
oh have you settled on one for wasoweli
Twirls my hair we're talking about ur white color endeavors sweetie 👵
walo..walo
I'm ss sorry r y yyy sobbing crying exploding I overthjnk words ehdjwjdjw tomorrow I'm free so I will gisimaxx
what is the curve underneath the letter diacritic.
What are u reading
placed under the less prominent part of a diphthong to show that it is part of a diphthong rather than a vowel in a separate syllable
i was looking at the thing under the i here
would pa'as be silly a a
i would just do pas but im worried for the pes minimal pair
it's probably just like ko/kon it's probably fine
Have u heard a pronunciation yet or
i only have my darling wiktionary key to yiddish pronunciation
there's probably a really cool website that pronounces everything somewhere but im on my phone and the internet sucks here
Also would this be pais or peis. Because the fucking e and a trip me up a bit some time.... and a is closer to an aouh than ae
Yeah dw ensjwjekw
Ohhgghhhh I am getting hit with schleeper ray I think I am gonna go mimimi.... 2morrow we can check this doe >:] goodnight and goodlucj
a oh that's where the [a] is in the chart
that's very front
that's totally e okay yeah
pes FUCKKK
no more yiddish.
i was mixed up because the english vowel symbols are like Different a a
Greek άσπρο? espu?
gisi Espulagku
yeah sure
espu - white, pale color, light, illumination, glow
< Greek άσπρο
espu kales - candlelight
gisi gisi would hate neon lights
kanesu espu si kipa. 'alapa espu ka sili mukaski magi. paka 'i pukis si leme [lete]. pukis ka paka sesli teles ka kipa kanesu.
[telo] ka kepa mukaski si paka..?
mukaski feels so wrong for gray a a a
espu silen si ka sesli kanesu mukaski. leme [kute] 'i sili ka kepa espu si [wile]
ooh. or actually leme [kute] si sigka'i ka las'e espu
yeah!!
im slaying. hi kulisin i made a white word im going to add it to the sheets shortly and also list the pros and cons because its in a kind of tentative state rn
its a bit sili kipa
owo?
sili kipa is fine, antonyms are cool
mi o pali e gisi ni:
- ni/taso/tokana
- jasima
- leaf
- flower
- mustelid + mephitid
- spice
something that actually uses its tenuous “opposite of X” usage
also because i think it’s a cool word
finally. jasima utala merger
oh and also flavor words
sili could be bitter now that i think about it
oh true!!
maybe both the quote unquote Unpleasant tastes
why separate them tbhh
cheese pungency is sili
lawa sama
our minds.
now we need sweet, savory, and salty
although i can think of a few more taste experiences that aren’t the just taste buds per se e.g. spiciness, creaminess
we could just leave these in the back of our heads and wait for gisigka'i that happen to fit
true!
when are we getting pona and ike btw
it's easy to Technically change their semantic spaces by just removing the simple and complex stuff
though maybe we could infuse another philosophy into them in its place?
sigka'i si sili ka leme [uta] 'uge btw
or sigka'i 'i uta 'uge si leme sili
pona being natural perhaps
with menu also being tweaked to add manmade, this means it can become ike
the people crave natural / artificial nimisin
I swear there was another word i started seeing people trying to make
i think it was a word for “happen”??
blaming
YEAH
they should make a musi that is
waaait.... powe word? powe musi merger?
is that too much that might be too much
m 'uge si sigka'i kipa. sigka'i si las'e ka sili kipa sagke. 'uge ka [jasima] sigka'i. 'a'e ka sesli 'uge ka silen 'uge. 'uge 'i namunen magi si [sona]. sigka'i si kipa la kipa. sili gisi [taso].
that’s just kana smh
lon...
kipa la kipa
sili gisi [taso]
¿g?
a a a a
i turned on tp brain for a sec and forgot we had ka ka
second one is because we don't have li lon yet
lol
what were you trying to say?
only sili gisi will remain
ahh
that sounds more like «sili gisi [taso] si nesku»
using guillemots in namunen Lakina perhaps
si nesku... rubs temples
or even just «sili gisi [taso] si»
so true
those are just some ideas for the time being
good lord i overused ka predicates so much now that i read it over again
testament to them being good i guess
elevating to la phrase levels of overuse
it's also interesting i think because it kind of like
takes up the "ona li X e mi" role
like 'a'e 'i 'uge si sesli 'a'e becomes 'a'e ka sesli 'uge
interesting!
sigka'i si las'e si kipa sagke ka silen sili (or something) becomes sigka'i si las'e ka sili kipa sagke
it's free framing device
‘ispi (from Hebrew הִצְבִּיעַ “to point at”) — (demonstrative pronoun), just, only, specific, to focus on
might change the actual word
hi chat i am braining so hard rn
weill come back 2 u guys with developments iona bit
with like
both word + oopinion
Ok I think the word for wasoweli is going to be a word for griffin
I have a few options I'm pondering
- Finnish: Aarnikotka or vaakalintu. Each of them is a combination of two words, although neither make a reference to a mammal side. The first one is treasure eagle, the second one is... scales bird?? Like a weighing scale
- Persian: شیردال [ʃeːɾ.ˈdɑːl] meaning literally lion-eagle
- Armenian: արծվառյուծ [ɑɾt͡svɑrˈjut͡s] or [ɑɾd͡zvɑˈɾʏd͡z]. Again lion eagle
'anikoka... si'alu.... 'ansagus... 'askalis....
https://www.tumblr.com/calocera/746065976003559424 wasoweli sigka'i
ithink 'askalis is my favorite of these 
'askalis sigka'i
holding my head because we already have an armenian word
we do have duplicates of language origins dthough so
yenno
zrugs
I think it’s fine Armenian is a fruity language
this dog is fucked up
WHAT DOES THIS MEAAAANNN
Anyway yeah I like 'askalis
We need more 'V words btw
YEAH
freak in the sheets
'askalis!!! 'ispi!!!
welcome back
'uge si
kemu si
'ispi g
❓
ooh
i think that pleasant and unpleasant could have their own words.... it's like so subjective what the experience is that I am like poking it with a stick trying to not make it touch any of the other foods on the plate
Like I can't think where you could ascribe good or bad because it's like. Weird. To do that a bit. Like I feel like those are some ultimate subjective words
ka 'ispi i said a while ago could mean "as opposed to" like a break in a pattern
though when you said you also wanted a jasima word its stewing in my mind
'ispi jasima - exception to the rule?
is 'isipi a sort of taso merger
as well
'ispi -> this
'ispi 'ispi -> this (exclusive)
im imagining it like singling out a small part of a whole, which could just be because youre looking at it specifically or because it is itself nasa or noteworthy
'ispi 'ispi 'ispi -> do NOT look at ANYTHING else I am WARNING you
will have to fuck around with it more for sure
nods nods nods
Also the thing of the bitter and sour stuff reminded me of this
look at them
us making gisi gisi
TRUEEEE
But yeah overall I think those are the two words that Should Not overlap in semantic space with anything else. Or if anything, whatever they overlap should be similarly subjective
yeayea i don't think sili should describe All unpleasant flavors
i mean theyre both flavors we usually consider unpleasant or an acquired taste
sharp, bitter, sour, pungent (neutral)
No yeah those are like
Flavors
It makes sense to call them that because things you age seldom have a flavor outside of that profile
But if you add ike to that I'm going to go pukis mode and namunen all ogver the place
a a a
'askalis is such a dramatic word for what it is btw it's really funny
check out my 'askalis then it zooms to a chihuahua with a hawk protection vest thing
DNKJHDDBJHGGHVD
hmm. 'askalis kanesu si paka ka 'ispi pukis
the hawk follows / circles around the lizard
silen si 'ispi - the hallway is narrow?
menu 'ispi si gisi leme - the central person speaks convincingly
gisi ka nesku 'askalis kanesu 'i magi 'uge si leme
||bird conversation affects my timidity||
nods nods. though perhaps sagke after leme
ohhh mi sona
Although that can be interpreted as
"Makes my dullness/timidity/stagnancy grow stronger" which is like the opposite of what I meant. maybe just kipa
but sometimes it do be 'i magi si leme sagke
i like that the direct object is magi not 'uge it briefly made me think of a world where your magi is a parasite that youre hypnotizing with bird talk
It be like that sometimes
it really do...
magi ka leme namunen leme - art block
ooh, 'uge si magi ka 'ispi namunen leme - i have a weakness concentrated on my art
a weakness that taso-ly applies to my art
so ka 'ispi X is like "specifically regarding X"
‘ispi is a fun word
it could be! that could make it the vocative as well
ooo
im just playing around with what it could be rn
ka 'ispi menu Ka'i pes... -> [points at Kali] rest of sentence
so kind of a non-grammaticalized vocative
nods
why the pes here though
like at the end
wait crazy idea what about ka kemu for vocative
the sona pona page currently lists this construction but ka gisi instead of ka 'ispi
hmm I could see this
ka kemu .....
hmmm....
ka kemu Y - framing Y as the listener
that would make it A Special Construction which i think could serve
my dumbass was treating it as imperative
That's why I was so confused
like how ka ka is la and ignores all the other rules of how ka works
OHHH lol
ka is our strongest soldier
trueee
Yeah I think that that was why I thought it was imperative
Because it gave off Vibes
ka 'ispi menu Ka'i pes si...? it would kind of not make sense to put a subject there since it's already specified in the ka phrase
nodding
ka 'ispi menu Ka'i si? just no subject or marker altogether, though a different way to analyze it is that you're preceding the subject with ka 'ispi
mmmm
maybe a similar thing with ka ‘a’e and ka ‘uge
side note do you guys think it would be so funny if moku was assimilate as well (dungeon meshi brainworm
kulupu li moku e mi - the community accepted me as one of their own
points. dungeon meshi brainworm
this is a very like. abstract one that might be hard in practice but im tossing ideas out
moku means consumption means taking something to integrate into / fuel yourself
i think... it makes sense. Like in the sense of taking something, placing it inside of something esle, and making that something change
this is interesting
Like
menu cyborg 'i kusi si moku
kiwen li moku e kon li kama loje
lon...
nods nods very good very interesting
this also has more fucked up sematic spaces like
cemetery li moku e coffin la ona li sigka'i
can moku perchance be integration that has an effect onto something. like there's moku that doesn't necessarily benefit you
like if you eat snow you dehydrate
LONNNN
eating snow makes you dehydrate??
Yeah so snow is so cold that your body needs energy to process it into liquid right
But the energy used to turn the snow into a liquid (the heating process) uses water for the metabolism
And that usage of water outweighs the one you would have gotten from the snow
So it's advised that if you're lost and do need to eat snow because you don't have water or whatever you melt it first
that's so fucked up
my one concern regarding moku is that it's also like a wan that's esoteric and difficult to use
i guess it's because it's in like, a more specific direction??
mmm yeah that makes sense
moku implies that something did something to some other thing
this is factual
instead of ijo en ijo li wan you have to like wan li moku e ijo
marriage consumed me and my girlfriend
just the spirit of marriage itself
I didn’t know marriage was spicy like that
tbhh
I will be back and I will be thinking about moku and wan very much
there can also be like questions that change how it shapes up such as
- is the thing being moku'd always "smaller" than the subject?
- is changing the subject a required outcome of the integration?
I don't think it necessarily has to be smaller
me when I moku a thing bigger than me
then marriage can be mi moku e meli mi
But the second one... how can you moku without doing that
Or m well
I guess putting something in a box ?
But it does become heavier
HAHA
I was like
it's so over for us
when you get buried youre also moku'd by the soil
in like a cool way where some cultures think of it as you returning to the essence of nature
the thinker
mhm mhm
sina ni anu seme
for now though... kulisin what's your take on silen si 'ispi - the hallway is narrow
indeed, keles silen ‘ispi
yo mama so silen i walked on her from point A to point B
'ispi could also mean scope in general the same way weka means distance
'ispi - semantic space?
this does make it bump in with sesli's potential to mean location / area so im like. thinking about it really hard
perhaps not
‘ispi gisi
hm!
mi pilin sama ni
Idea. silen = distance as well. Silen is a passageway and a passageway implies that there is a distance between point a to point b
This does un-lupa it like entirely
We need to think about distance
If we want to be enkoded
i do love the lupaness of it
but objectively yeah the line from point A to point B is a silen
thinking really hard
although i mean
hm
silen can perhaps mean distance
as well as passageway
but to pair it with like tangible measures
distance/length is like a quality of silen
we can use some suli / long id k
perhaps ‘alapa silen?
this can both be icicle and distance I realize
‘alapa can be used for like a quality or essence of something
Oh right 'alapa. So I think that 'alapa is another word we should think about because I feel like other words include some sort of semantic strangeness and 'alapa is like... unseen presence but also transparency/ice and it feels like... it can be a bit more. Or just I think we haven't exploerd it much as we have with other concepts because we accepted it as it being There because it was one of the like Beginning words
nimi Kon li kama gisi Paka + gisi ‘Alapa + gisi Gisi
ohhhh nods
100%
so we have animal denominations based on texture
and sigka'i acts as a denomination for small things like algae and moss
but we still don't have a set vegetable nomenclature
we HATE vegetables

I will compile thoughts in my notes and get back to yall when I do that
For now I'll try to find etymology for the pipi word

How did u make the sheet look like this
Like just a Sheet
And not the docs
it looks like this ?? for me
like it's just a website witj the sheet on it? there's an html view feature
looks quite normal unless I'm missing something
iguess idk what you're referring to
like in contrast to this
ah so is it deleting thos extra columns
but also like

no google no toolbar
just

ohh isee
ye idk that but I'd guess it's the I've been beaten to it oh boye

is there any grammar stuffs on the sheet or noe
not really no

gisi gisi (meaning "language of expression" or "very communicative") is a tokiponido first created by namako Kolisin in March 2024, but later contributors also developed the language alongside her, such as jan Kali and soweli Noneko. The language was not made with a specific goal in mind, but namako Kolisin wanted to explore toki pona with diffe...
it’s pretty close to toki pona’s grammar
omgrealreal
isee
also does your phone automatically do silly apostrophes too
now that you mentioned it I'm noticing them again
yes
We're still working on them :]
ah i thought it was just glitching

oh that reminds me I need to finish making my pretty looking sitelen suwi thing for sona pona
what's the thatte
[[sitelen sitelen]]
sitelen sitelen, also known as sitelen suwi, is a logographic writing system for Toki Pona, created by Jonathan Gabel (jan Josan Kapo) around 2006. It is one of the two constructed writing systems featured in the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good, alongside sitelen pona. The overall style of sitelen sitelen was inspired by United States west-...
sitelen suwi is the original name
i know what sitelen sitelen is I mean what's this thing you're making
lele youo're fine
but uhhh I was just making a potential server icon or logo for sona pona lol
omgomg verynice!
very textured and shaded
makes me wish i could art more,,
one day I'll know how to texturing and shading
lon a
how does one do this exactly
my experience with having ideas in servers goes as follows:
- posts thing
- instantly gets covered up by unrelated topics
the sona pona server is very quiet, and plus we have a thread for the logo proposals, which is even quieter
ah iseeisee
verynicelel
back to actual on topic stuff omg all three nasals are used as their own words
nods nods they're silly
lma amazing
I'd like to add that
ka is not necessarily just for prepositions
It also acts similarly to pi
the wiki page apparently defines whether ka is legal before certain words but like why not have it fine to go before any word as long as the result makes sense!1 @comicpytho (oh she gone)
'uge ka nesku mom kemu
i find it fascinating that we still don't have a solid construction for saying last night or tomorrow, like, relative to Right Now

hm I should add this to the space of /‘/
even though it’s only allowed between vowels
TRUE
since I do transliterate [h] as such
That's really skary
Also think about how comfortable ur gonna make the anglophones

switching from a voiced velar nasal to a voiceless dental fricative will epenthetically create a sound
similar case happened with Thompson
what happened with thompson
it comes from “Thomas’ son”
Thomas has a shortened form, Thom
and then in classic Germanic fashion you just throw on a -son for your son and call it a day
so it was Thomson
but of course, going from a voiced bilabial nasal to a voiceless sibilant alveolar fricative is a difficult transition to make seamlessly
so thus the metaphorical seam arises as [p]
fascinating....

oh yeah I was also going to share [ʃt͡ʃɹɑŋ] like how I say it
Ah fuck I said humans that's 1 dollar in the alterhumanity jar

I would love to understand how I talk english but it is not consistent I think
My accent is too swag for this language

Canadian raising (also sometimes known as English diphthong raising) is an allophonic rule of phonology in many varieties of North American English that changes the pronunciation of diphthongs with open-vowel starting points. Most commonly, the shift affects or , or both, when they are pronounced before voiceless consonants (therefore, in wor...

could you think of any Other metaphor with white that doesn't go in the direction of pale perhaps
maybe we just need to escape the pale-light dichotomy and everything will be alright
let’s explore metaphors with white
i can only think of white blank which is already twins with white pale
i remember seeing a language that equated white with good? but that's like ehhh
in the same family white can also be pure which like 1. is a little fucked up 2. interacts weirdly when modifying a color
pure, my favorite concept that definitely isn’t a loaded topic and functions as shaming
breaking news cultures agree white is when there's no stains on the sheep
which is why im leaning so hard into what if we just magi white
magi has a lot of things going on already though
maybe the {deactivated, off, closed} could be migrated away? ehhh
magi could be white perhaps
i guess technically all 3 definition groups fall under the same thread of low-energy it just feels weird to see them all written out
'espu could be recycled into light, color, visual, eye (give or take a few)
actually 'espus etymology is literally the word white gah whatever that's for another kepa
for now... how we feeling about magi white
i dont really wanna divorce pini from magi
who said you had to
i love going "i mute the lightbulb*
yeah lon...
still though that's a lot of english words in one place isn't it
this reminds me of the Germanic split of “black” for black or white
black used to mean like burning/burnt
and some saw it as white, like the color of something on fire, and others black, like the color of something that’s been burnt
oh hn... interesting
oh yeah btw one thing noneko did say about magi-white is like
magi feels more like a modifier than a color itself, like there's a default color thats being muted
though to that i say magi is white AND gray, it can be any desaturated color
it just kind of leans into the brighter parts because 1. things are usually light when they're undyed and 2. we have mukaski to take over the dark parts
yeah
perhaps just make the word “pu” from the daoist term of unworked wood and with the meaning of raw or unworked and wait that’s just pagkan
HAHAH
ooh raw specifically on pagkan is kind of imagery now that i think about it
making the analogy with raw iron as the green budding fruit and worked iron as the finished product after its sili ka silen fire
true…
umm so yeah i would say we could have magi mean desaturated and whether that means Gray or White is mildly implicated by the material in question but otherwise doesn't really matter
coral turns white when it die
its so hard chatroom
true…
funnily following this thread though an LED magi literally just turns mukaski
it's red to dark red there's no desaturation that leans white
fascinating
im in my ramble arc i love facets and perspectives and also antitheses
i hope im still intelligible enough to not provide net zero information
though again maybe mukaski being included sometimes can be a good thing im kind of fascinated by like
chroma vs saturation, and how a hue has its highest chroma at One brightness level because adding either white or black weakens it
it makes a bell curve
adding gray after all is just adding white AND black
letting the color theory enjoyer take the wheel on the color words was a mistake
did you also know this is how yellow and red are different values btw
the color wheel displays their like Most Saturated Forms and it's at different levels for different hues
oh is it actually
iirc!
it’s either that or taste
but I do know we are better at hearing, that’s one of our best senses
im kind of understanding it in the sense that our brain like. automatically recalibrates colors all the time so we're bad at experiencing it Objectively
which makes sense when you think about what the first mammals looked like: little nocturnal rat creatures
color is not a priority but hearing is
lon…
i would write all this into the pros and cons list but i think this would legit require a mind map
the most eye-opening color: white
poggers
can confirm
or would that be the most eye closing color because it's the brightest
