qiihoskeh* I finally had a session with my therapist yesterday. We'll be able to have weekly sessions now.
* I made arrangements to pay off one of my credit card debts today. They were about to go to court, but settled for an affordable amount. It will be quite a while before I have enough saved to settle either of the others, unless I win some money in the lottery.
* My ILC made a surpise visit today, bringing L. with her.
* I've started playing with a minimalistic conlang idea.
The phonology allows for 260 syllables, with one word per syllable. The syllable types are (C)V, (C)VV, and (C)VC, the first being used for function words, pronouns, etc. The onset consonants are /p t k f s h m n l/. The vowels are /i e a o u/. The diphthongs are /ei eu ai au oi ou/. The coda consonants are /r n s/.
I'm trying out a VSO syntax, with the types of content words being verbs, nouns, adverbs and prepositions, and numbers and quantifiers. The VSO syntax allows verbs to be used in adjective position (after nouns) without marking and avoids having to move complement clauses to final position. A copula will be used when nouns and adverbs or prepositions are used as predicates. There will be grammatical voice or alignment inversion markers used with verbs when an object rather than the subject is not expressed or moved to topic position.
I'm still working on listing the function words. Then I have to come up with a list of basic content words.
