be warned! my blog is not accessable to blind or partially sighted folks. i ID most images i upload, but i reblog a lot of undescribed images and videos.

if you want me to start tagging something then please ask! i'll try and do it consistently <3

some tags you might want to block (or look at ig):

#09 (horny stuff - i do not tag individual kinks, and nudity on its own (eg. in art) isn't enough to warrant this tag for me. has to have the sexual vibes™ y'know?)
#flashing
#insect, #spider
#gifset (they lag out my phone but sometimes i think they're worth reblogging anyways)
#unreality (inconsistently tagged)
#wizardposting (all the stuff in here is unreality. we pretend to be wizards.)
#food (photos of food or posts discussing food heavily)
#food mention (posts where it shows up a bit, but isn't the star of the show)
#christianity (posts about christianity)

some tags you might want to look at (or block ig)

#sewi's stuff (my posts)
#sewi's polls (my polls)
#ask (asks), #anon (anonymous asks)
#fav (favourite posts)
#familiars (animals, pets, and animal-coded beasts)
#writing, #story
#art, #comic, #sketch
#[insert animal here] (no as in literally write the animal name there. #cat is a common one.)
#this is cool (self explanatory i feel)
#wizardposting, #wizart (wizard art)
#linguistics (see also #phonology, #accents, #syntax, #morphology, etc)
#[insert language here] (posts about or in that language) (i sometimes post in #toki pona)

#sewi's stuff #there's probably more tags that i'm forgetting #it is a bit of a fluid system - sometimes i just commonly say something in tags and it becomes one of my tags #the trigger tags i make sure they stay the same tho #if i start using new ones too i'll update this post

Word of the Week Wednesday - 2. 4. 2025

Hey, hi, it's Wedesday again, unfortunately I am very sick and as much as I would love to do a related WotW to that, I just. don't have the capacity right now. So here's something simple instead to get this over with. Hopefully next week there'll be something better! You can never know with me, sorry

Jälígðir /ja.liː.ðɪr/ [jaliːðɪɾ̥]

verb, intransitive

to reach

Etymology: from "jä" (meaning "to") and "lígðir" (meaning "touch"). Out of universe, it's a calque of the Czech "dosáhnout."

The object of this verb usually takes the lative case (in the most common usage of this verb).

Example sentence:

Þúvigä kú rajä fíreðar? Jäðulígða gär eirjä.

English: Can you pass it to me? I can't reach it.

Literal translation: Can you to me give-it? Reach-not I to it.

Gloss: can-M.ATEM=Q 2SG 1SG.LAT give<3SG.N>.INF? <NEG>reach-F.ATEM 1SG 3SG.N-LAT

Note: I used a few wordforms and constructions I'm not sure about including yet, sorry. Like "rajä" being the lative of "gär" or "fíðar" being used for passing something to someone else. This really is a rather low quality WotW, but i hope that's understandable

kolic

Thank you so much for asking! This is a feature of Kolic that I'm not at all sure if it's naturalistic, but I really love its vibes. You're right that this isn't noun incorporation, Kolic indeed doesn't have that. But it isn't inflection per se either (I think? Maybe it is idk) Basically this is how it works:

If the direct object of a verb is a pronoun, this pronoun gets infixed (in a special form) into the verb, right before the coda of the last syllable of the stem.

Note that nouns aren't infixed into verbs like this, and also that this isn't agreement of the verb with the object - if the direct object is a noun, the verb doesn't contain the infixed pronoun.

There also exists a more emphatic accusative form of pronouns, which is basically just saying the pronoun separately and not infixing it. Compare "Ðuru gär rírallän" (I didn't pull him) with "Ðuru gär ó ríllän" (I didn't pull him).

As for how naturalistic this is, I really don't know, I just made it up one day and kept it, but if there is a way to make it more naturalistic, that would be lovely. I did kinda consider what it would look like if, in the absence of a direct object and the presence of an indirect one which happens to be a pronoun, the indirect one was infixed, but I think that could get really ambiguous really quickly.

Finally, some examples:

Aera Aqqutaq tígjän Hildu. - Aqqutaq held Hilda.

Aera Aqqutaq tírugjän. - Aqqutaq held her.

Also, the (currently) only other infix in Kolic - the negation, which is infixed after the first vowel - can sometimes fall into the same space (and most often does, since most Kolic words have two syllables). If that happens, the negation comes first, and the direct object comes second:

Veiðureðvu! - Don't eat it!

I hope this answered the question! And thank you again for asking, I LOVE elaborating about my lang like this! :D

#ah very cool!#i'm sure there's langs that do this‚ it seems like something that could very feasably exist #i think this could arguably be the early stages of agreement tho-#i'd expect that as the lang develops‚ ppl would start using both an object noun and an infixed pronoun if they're wanting to emphasise it #which. actually no bc you're not really gonna be consistently emphasising the object enough #for that structure to then become the typical way of doing objects no?#interesting #but yeah if these were subjects that'd probably be a typical pathway that could happen from here #also i meant to write Pd or T instead of R‚ oops #R would be the indirect object #conlang #kolic

@bonsaibovine being absolutely correct in the tags

Legit. Ask me anything you want to know about my fics.

#conlangers and worldbuilders also do this if asked nicely
