isn't kemetic Egyptian?

[exotic fjord]

don't ask me i just forwarded it here

[elder carbon]

the Egyptian word for Egypt was kmt, meaning "black land" in reference to the fertile soil of the Nile in contrast with the surrounding desert
-ic is a pretty standard latinate suffix
kmt is often pronounced kemet by Egyptologists because no vowels are hard to say
kemetic = relating to kmt (?)

[stone shadow]

what if egyptian only had syllabic consonants

/km̩t/

[elder carbon]

nah we are pretty sure it didn't
we have a reconstructed pronounciation of */kuːmat/ thanks to Coptic and the other afro-asiatic languages

also non-sonorants are rarely syllabic consonants

i find it funny that 75% of the word telo comes from either articles or prepositions and only the final consonant is the actual word

[exotic fjord]

isn't it the final vowel

[vernal ravine]

oh yeah i meant vowel

[elder carbon]

wait what

[vernal ravine]

it comes from de l’eau of which only the eau part actually means water

[elder carbon]

oh

de l'eau in fr*nch anu seme

[faint thorn]

yeah

[fossil grove]

I know the Haitian creole has "Dlo" for "water" from the same words

[elder carbon]

de x/dE/ = of
l' /l/ = definite article (but not "the" for some reason)
eau /o/ = water

[dapper charm]

/dɛ/

[vernal ravine]

yes (specifically Acadian French but I am pretty sure it’s grammatical in French French too)

[fossil grove]

it is yes 😄

[elder carbon]

it is grammatical in french french

[faint thorn]

definite article (but not "the" for some reason)
it is "the" yeah
de l'eau is roughly like "by the water" in english iirc

[elder carbon]

at least non-quebec Canadian french
the one I am learning

[fossil grove]

of/from the water, meaning "some" (uncountable) water

pi is not de

[faint thorn]

ah so it is partitive, i had a feeling

[elder carbon]

ni a

[faint thorn]

in french whenever you eat food or drink a drink, you often use a partitive construct involving du

which is roughly equivalent to english "some X"

elle boit de l'eau ~ she drinks some water

du is just de + le for reference

[ripe orchid]

french creoles seem to do this fairly often, the articles and occasionally preps would get attached as part of the word. They usually didnt have articles themselves so it's fun to see them get stuck on.

I only know other examples in haitian creole tho

zwazo (les oiseaux), zanmi (les amis), lalin (la lune), Lamerik (L'amerique)

[ripe orchid]

oh interesting! kinda reminds me of how japanese de aru became da

or somehow dewa arimasu became desu

[faint thorn]

true! french creoles do like fortifying liaison

i.e. becomes part of the root of a word and as such is written out

i would like to take this opportunity to recommend against using googles etymology visualising tool! most of the time it draws something partially or completely nonsensical, because it misunderstands the relations between words found in the text of etymology fields. e.g., drawing cognates as sources for the word. please just read the etymology as written instead

[harsh mesa]

oh my god

Translation for English speakers:

Kon (also known as: Wakon) was the god of wind and rain. It is said that he came from the North, appearing for the first time in the sea. Kon was originally a deity of the Peruvian coast, specifically of the Paracas and Nazca cultures; the Incas would later include him in their pantheon

The god Kon was an eminently flying deity, since his appearance was boneless and fleshless (he lacked bones and flesh); however, his form was human. Kon was represented as a being with a feline face, although it is believed that he used feline masks. Due to these characteristics, this god is known as the "flying feline." In many of his representations, Kon carried trophy heads and a staff. Due to his prominent eyes, he is also known as the "eye-god." In some huacos and ceramics, Kon was also described as a man with bird-like features.

so basically a wind god named kon

technically, in the same way you could analyze the velar nasal as allophonic with t or z or sh or k or b or r. however, it historically makes more sense to analyze the velar nasal as allophonic with the zero onset. velar nasal initial used to exist, and was merged into the zero onset in Mandarin. this can be seen in older forms and other Sinitic languages—for example, they continue to be distinguished in standard Cantonese. dialectally some have lost it and merged it into the zero onset—but to me the most fascinating thing there is that quite a lot of Cantonese speakers overcorrect and pronounce all zero onset as the velar nasal. it's great

anpa Niwe li tpt 🔔 ↩️

[Reply to:](#1258121867676487862 message) mandarin too

(although I guess final velar nasal is distinguished from no final, actually, so doesn't work. which is weird because I feel like I've seen it as an actual phonetic analysis.)

noooo that's the bad merge...merge j q x with g k h instead pleaseeeee...it works with historical phonology, and is a common thing among linguists to regard them as allophones (j q x as allophones of g k h before front vowels). they even were that until recently—think Peking (Beijing). it's also the only one that works if you're normal and treat zi ci si zhi chi shi ri as /i/ like they are

Yeah, now I wanna hear this story!

[wary gulch]

i just remembered the details,

[wary gulch]

the bots this server used for notes used to be nadeko

and it had like a command rategirl

which was like. incel bullshit and also had the t slur

so obviously it had to be removed

that was way before my time. i think kawa was still alive

[mint fiber]

Huh. The ma pona pi toki pona lore drop was not what I expected to find today, and I'm honestly very surprised it even installed that sorta bot in the first place

[proud egret]

i just searched rategirl and it like didnt work

every time someone called it nothing would happen and they would wonder as to why

or maybe they deleted it

[wary gulch]

oh wait i hadn't considered that actually

wait no nvm

kawa awed

as in

said aw

[proud egret]

awsome

but this could be a reaction to an unfriendly rating as well as to a lack of it

[wary gulch]

awwed? that looks like he said aww

why is aw and aww different

[proud egret]

oh the prosody

[wary gulch]

yagpdb has the logs i think

but only top scryers can lay their eyes upon the hidden messages

[wary gulch]

clearly not a three letter rule thing

aw isn't more grammatical than aww is it

is disappointment crucial for the workings of our language
