| '''Classical Windermere''' (native name: ''brits Lăcoaf'' /brits ʟəkoəv/, Skellan: ''Lycóov Yvẃr'' 'Noble Lăcoaf') was a standardized variety of Windermere spoken in the historically Windermere territories (''Wen Dămea'') It is based on the language of Windermere texts from ca. fT 900-1100. A classical language of Talma, it lent many words to [[Häskä]] and other Talman languages.
| |
| | |
| See also [[Rhythoed]].
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| Windermere is a conlang based on similarities between Hebrew and Mon-Khmer languages, such as final stress, minor syllables and overall head-initial syntax. It was originally created by [[User:Praimhín|Praimhín]] for the [[Fifth Linguifex Relay]]. It is currently being revived and adapted for [[Verse:Tricin]] as a classical language of Talma. This version will also be more synthetic than the original creator envisioned. Aesthetically it's also inspired by Romanian and [[Tíogall]], one of my old Talmic sketches.

| ;Notes
| |
| */ə/ occurs only in unstressed syllables.
| |
| | |
| Old Windermere had breathy voiced vowels '''ah eh ih oh uh üh''' /aʱ eʱ iʱ oʱ uʱ yʱ/ which became '''e ea ie oa ua üe''' in Classical Winderemre.
| |
| | |
| ===Stress===
| |
| Stress is invariably final.
| |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| Zero and C are the only permitted word-final codas.
| |
| | |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| Windermere morphology is exclusively prefixing and infixing.
| |
| ===Old Windermere===
| |
| ====Sandhi====
| |
| Old Windermere had a complex sandhi system (somewhere between Biblical Hebrew and Sanskrit) which is no longer productive in Rhythoed.
| |
| | |
| *ths -> st, as in ''sehf'' (go) -> *''thsehf'' -> ''stehf'' (to drive) (Rhythoed ''binsteaf'' (energy), ''sămteaf'' (to energize))
| |
| | |
| Grassmann's law was productive in Old Windermere. When there were two aspirated consonants before a stressed vowel in a word, the first was deaspirated.
| |
| | |
| ====Some prefixes====
| |
| Old Windermere had the following prefixes:
| |
| *''th-'' (causative; denominal verbs)
| |
| *''p-'' (agentive; triggers voicing of voiceless stops ''p t c'' to ''b d g'')
| |
| **''da'' (know) -> ''păda'' (master; ''pda'' in Rhythoed)
| |
| **''tüth'' (to grasp) -> ''pădüth'' (meaning, intention)
| |
| *''ha-'' (passive)
| |
| | |
| Old Windermere also used breathy voice ablaut to denote tools: ''snar'' (capture) -> ''snahr'' (trap, snare) which survives in Rhythoed as ''sner''.
| |
| | |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| ''im-'' is used as the plural prefix.
| |
| | |
| The case markers are the following:
| |
| *''id'': nominative
| |
| *''u'': accusative
| |
| *''mi-'': locative
| |
| *''ya-'': comitative
| |
| *''șa-'': allative
| |
| *''faC-'': from
| |
| *''tsip'' : without
| |
| *''fe'': by (passive)
| |
| | |
| ===Pronouns===

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| After a preposition, nominative forms are used.
| |
| | |
| ===Demonstratives===
| |
| *this: __ se
| |
| *that: __ fi
| |
| *here: rădun se, dunse (casual)
| |
| *there: rădun fe, dumfe (casual)
| |
| *who: ășak ra, ășra (casual)
| |
| *what: ra (in the sense of which), mül ra (in the sense of which thing)
| |
| *where: rădun ra, dura (casual)
| |
| *when sngith ra, sngithra (casual)
| |
| *how li-tănsü ra; litra in casual speech
| |
| *all tsor (preposed)
| |
| *many mea (preposed)
| |
| *some tăchung (preposed)
| |
| *few łüp (preposed)
| |
| *other nătha
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| Lăcoaf verbs inflect for mood, aspect, and voice, but not for tense.
| |
| | |
| In the imperative, the subject is omitted. The cohortative ('let's VERB') uses the syntax ''VERB ya-tsa'', lit. 'VERB with us (exc)'.
| |
| | |
| Verbs and adjectives are actually predicate nouns, so a patient trigger verb can be used as a patient noun just by placing a case marker in front of it.
| |
| | |
| ====Aspect====
| |
| Aspect inflection uses a combination of prefixes and reduplication.
| |
| | |
| Reduplicant uses 1st consonant (''F'') or last consonant (''L'')
| |
| *imperfective/stative = unmarked
| |
| *perfective = unmarked for some verbs but marked with ''em-'' for others
| |
| *prospective = ''hef-'' (closest equivalent of future tense)
| |
| *momentane = ''bla-''
| |
| *progressive = ''ăL-''
| |
| *gnomic = ''FăL-''
| |
| *frequentative = ''eNFă-''
| |
| *inchoative/inceptive = ''oLă-''
| |
| *graduative = ''tăFa-''
| |
| | |
| ====Intensive====
| |
| *''thu-'' = intensive prefix
| |
| | |
| ====Voice affixes====
| |
| Voice affixes are obsolete in Rhythoed.
| |
| *''‹ăc›'' = Dynamic passive
| |
| *''‹ră›'', ''‹wă›'' = Stative passive
| |
| *''‹ăb›'' = Reflexive
| |
| | |
| ===Adjectives===
| |
| Adjectives are stative verbs: they behave almost identically to verbs but they cannot take the imperative by themselves.
| |
| | |
| The comparative is formed with ''rech'' + adjective and the superlative is formed with ''hă'et'' + adjective.
| |
| *''to'' = good
| |
| *''rech to'' = better
| |
| *''hă'et to'' = best
| |
| | |
| ===Derivational morphology===
| |
| *‹''i''› = nominalizer for underived verbs
| |
| *''bin-'' = nominalizer for derived verbs
| |
| *''hăl-'' = nominalizer for adjectives
| |
| *''sa-'' = nominalizer
| |
| *''și-'' = negation
| |
| *''ing-'' = verbalizer
| |
| *''lă'' = verbalizer (how productive?)
| |
| *''yă-'' = adjectivizer
| |
| *''nu-'' = agentive (Classical Windermere; and productive to an extent in Rhythoed)
| |
| *''pa-'' = patientive (from Old Windermere *p + *ha)
| |
| *''bo-'' = adjectivizer for verbs
| |
| TODO: verbalizers, "adjectivizers" ("X-like", "characterized by X")
| |
| | |
| *Head-initial concatenation. Common concatenated morphemes:
| |
| **''hălwier'' = '-logy' (lit. 'beauty of')
| |
| **''wang'' = 'matter, affairs'
| |
| **''ngoth'' = 'manner, way'
| |
| **''ăma'' = 'proto, ur-' (lit. 'mother of')
| |
| | |
| ===="Trigger" verb affixes====
| |
| These were originally trigger affixes but had become derivational affixes to derive verbs by Classical Windermere times.
| |
| | |
| *''‹ăn/ăng›'' = Applicative trigger
| |
| *''‹ith›'' = Locative trigger
| |
| *''‹ăw›'' = Instrumental trigger
| |
| *''‹ăfong›'' = Destination trigger
| |
| *''‹ălis›'' = Comitative trigger
| |
| *''‹ăm›'' = Source/cause trigger
| |
| *''‹ăchem›'' = Benefactive/purpose trigger
| |
| *''‹ărea›'' = Malefactive trigger
