Roots 1.0 edit

007 Sec. 1.4 lacks a root for frame category and -LMPY- can include concatenation type

076 it should be "... see -ŠNY- below" in the asterisk-marked note of -ZŢ-

088 in the section 2.1.3 Common Household Appliances and Electronic Devices, one still doesn't have stems 1-3 assigned for these roots.

207 two roots have the Cr value -ÇŢ- ("sound of a hiss" and "sound of a poof")

WRITING SYSTEM FOR NEW ITHKUIL (December 2022) edit

02 "3 Relations x 2 Concatenation shown by under-posed diacritic" should be "3 Relations OR 2 Concatenations shown by under-posed diacritic"

14 "ICP" Valence should be "RCP"

14 It is unclear how to show more than two of Aspect, Valence, Phase, and Effect on a formative, as the tertiary character only admits up to two non-Valence characters.

14 There is no way to show Vh values for a modular adjunct

16 "accom-panied" should be "accompanied"

19 It is not mentioned how to write a Combination Referential with Specification; this can easily be achieved using underposed diacritics for CTE, CSV, and OBJ on the secondary character

19 VxCs affixes on Combination Referentials are not explicitly described, but would presumably be handled the same as in a formative, by adding a secondary character with appropriate diacritics

Phonotaxis edit

  • ç should be an non-sibilant fricative, and it was instead misclassified as a sibilant fricative.
  • ç is placed in the wrong position of the table PHONEMIC INVENTORY
  • some prohibited conjuncts in sec. 2.9. lack preceding asterisks
  • there is a stray ň above section 11
  • -ÇÇ-, -ĻĻ-, -ŢŢ- are valid roots
  • -ÇẒ- and -ÇJ- (already in use) are impermissible as a root/affix
  • -ḐS-, -ḐŠ-, -ḐZ-, -ḐŽ- and -NŇ- are permissible as a root/affix
  • kļ is listed as a valid root/affix but is indistinguishable from tļ
  • the table for permissible biconsonanantal roots beginning with ç, c and ż should count 24 forms, and beginning with č and j should count 22 forms, so the total should be 684 instead of 679

Root Gaps in Roots 1.0 edit

  • A typeface (or font family) is the design of lettering that can include variations in size, weight (e.g. bold), slope (e.g. italic), width (e.g. condensed), and so on. Each of these variations of the typeface is a font.; Font. In metal typesetting, a font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, with a piece (a "sort") for each glyph. A typeface consists various fonts that share an overall design. In modern usage, with the advent of computer fonts, the term "font" has come to be used as a synonym for "typeface", although a typical typeface (or "font family") consists of several fonts.

      • someone thinks "book" is such a basic popular object with strong symbolic value and cultural importance, that I would expect Ithkuil to not only have a root for book, but also for parts of a book, act of bookbinding, codex, vellum, paperback, hardcover, a manuscript, the printing press, etc; and instead, we just have... written.document-MSC/COA. which could mean a lot of stuff, like stapled pamphlet; Ithkuil views books as basically "accidental complexity" -- just a byproduct of whatever it took to get the pages to freakin stick together -- rather than the specific product of a specific craft with its own essence or gestalt or symbolism or aesthetics.

  • CNM/8 is a redundant form of the PAR case accessor
  • associative plurals ("X together with the persons/things associated with it/them; X and co."), possibly patterned similarly to the OAU suffix; this may be used to derive a pronoun "we" from the first person singular pronoun, for example. (-çẓ and -çj are free Gradient 0 forms which could be suitable.)

Morpho-phonology 1.3.1 edit

65 "hlusëudnéi-eḑtëila áfrika" should be "hlusëudnéi-eḑtila áfrika" and "hluséi-eḑtëila domínika" should be "hluséi-eḑtila domínika"

Morpho-phonology 1.3 edit

30 Problematic: Considering that the function of Type-3 affixes is meant to be applied not to the formative itself, but rather to the immediately adjacent affix, need to clarify the usage of all T3 affixes that are expressed as "heads“ (including all Type-3 Case-Accessor & Inverse Case-Accessor Affixes), e.g.

  • "cat"-AFT/2-MAK₁/7
    • a making of cute cat.

vs.

  • "cat"-AFT/2-MAK₃/7
    • "a making of cute cat"?
    • "a cat that is made cute"?
    • "a cat that is cute in terms of making" ?

For an example of Case-Accessor Affixes, refer:

  • Wiarräčhiswa
  • S1.N​-“cat”​-AFT₁/2​-(acc:AFF)₁
    • "Experiencer of cute cats (as an affective experience)"

vs.

  • Wiarräčhičwa
  • S1.N​-“cat”​-AFT₁/2​-(acc:AFF)₃
    • "Experiencer of cute cats (as an affective experience)"?
    • "Experiencer of cats’ cuteness (as an affective experience)"?
    • "Experiencer of being cute cats (as an affective experience)"?
    • "Cats that experiences being cute"?
    • "Cats that is cute in terms of experiencer"?

Since the example sentences reflect inconsistencies in the behavior of T3 affixes, The instructions of the section New Type-3 Case-Accessor & Inverse Case-Accessor Affixes on page 30 of the grammar design document may need to be revisited.

31 The Illocution+Validation table is missing descriptions of the Illocutions

55-56 In "The girl is eating an apple.", "The girl gets eaten." and "The girl gets herself eaten." there are some formatives “welaic-” for girl compared to "welac-" in other examples

65 for "Central African Republic" and "Dominican Republic", "eḑtëila" should replaced with "eḑtila"

Morpho-phonology 1.2 edit

1 "CHC Aspect" > "CHC affix"

14 For the two allomorphic substitutions, ff > vw and ţţ > ḑy, given that they cannot be combined by Ca subvalues and other allomorphic substitutions, it is suggested that they be replaced by (fbm >) fv > vw and (ţbn >) ţḑ > ḑy

36 For the Slot 5 Vh value i/u, its description has initially double "affixes"

56-57 Degrees of CHC affix need to be corrected in many examples since degrees 2 through 5 of the CHC affix have been corrected

  • CHC/2 > CHC/3
  • CHC/5 > CHC/2

61 for Andes Mountains, Himalaya Mountains and Niagara Falls, there are obsolute Ca values in their formatives: -msk- in v0.18 should be replaced with -rçt- in v1.2 for COA.MDC.PRX; and -ňsk- in v0.18 with -rft- in v1.2 for COA.MDC.PRX

65 for Central African Republic and Dominican Republic, eḑtëila should replaced with eḑtila

Morpho-phonology 1.1 edit

5 The charts still reference the now-eliminated category Expectation

6 Section 2.3 - "VERIFICATIVE Illocution+Expectation" should be changed to "VERIFICATIVE Illocution"

14 The [C]f and [C]ţ substitutions for [C]bm and [C]bn create ambiguity with Affiliation+(MDC or MDS) - for example, ASO/DPL/RPV/N (*-lbm-) can resolve to either -lf- or -lv-, the former of which is ambiguous with ASO/MDF. Easily fixed by only allowing [C]v and [C]ḑ as susbstitutes, respectively.

34 Section 4.1 - It is not pragmatic for an affix to scope above an entire formative; forms could instead mark scoping in concatenation chains

36 The statement about the "absence of any full consonant forms" is now incorrect due to the use of ň in Slot 3

36 uhlaihrwi and öhwoyó use Slot 2's Cn values in Slot 3

36 Slot 3 provides no way to distinguish Aspect from the other categories since Cn was replaced with ň; one option is to have Slot 3's Cn only accept "h" or "w"/"y" (with the implication that this would not be interpeted as stacking a second Mood/Case-Scope)

36 There are many left-over references to the v1.1's slot order

  • "If only Slots 1 and 5 are filled, then Slot 5 = Aspect" should be "If only Slots 1 and 4 are filled, then Slot 4 = Aspect"
  • "If any of Slots 2, 3, or 4 are filled & stress is penultimate, then Slot 5 = ..." should be "If any of Slots 2 or 3 are filled & stress is penultimate, then Slot 4 = ..."
  • "If any of Slots 2, 3, or 4 are filled and stress is ultimate, then Slot 5 = ..." should be "If any of Slots 2 or 3 are filled and stress is ultimate, then Slot 4 = ..."
  • For Slot 4 Vh values, a, e, i/u, and o, "affixes in Slots 2, 3, and 4 have successive right-to-left scope order over each other (Slot 2 < Slot 3 < Slot 4)" should be "affixes in Slots 2 and 3 have successive right-to-left scope order over each other (Slot 2 < Slot 3)"

36 There is no clean way for the adjunct to show two Aspects alone (Slot 4 is required, but can only show Aspect if Slots 2 and 3 are empty)

39 The default Detrimental form of the Provisional Referential should be ňň, not ň (see example Ňňeöxinļ ‘Resulting (detrimentally) in what? / With what undesirable result?’ on page 54).

51 obsolete phonological values from previous versions of the grammar: txasá, tlasatřá, wurçpi, urçpuli should be txadá, tladatřá, wurçpëi, urçpulëi

56 For the CHC Affix, here are the values of some degrees that differ from ones in Affixes 0.7.5; they should be aligned with degrees of IMP affix.

  • D2 "... tries to prevent/avoid but fails" vs "... chooses to acquiesce due to being okay with, or indifferent as to outcome"
  • D3 "... tries to avoid and partially succeeds/mitigates impact" vs "... tries to prevent/avoid but fails"
  • D4 "... tries to prevent/avoid and succeeds" vs "... tries to avoid and partially succeeds/mitigates impact"
  • D5 "... chooses to acquiesce due to being OK with, or indifferent as to outcome" vs "... tries to prevent/avoid and succeeds"

64 Are Liberia laibirya and Malaysia mëleisya English pronunciations with local accents? Why using -a instead of schwa?

Morpho-phonology 1.0.2 edit

2 The charts still reference the now-eliminated category Expectation

3 Section 2.3 - "PERFORMATIVE-RESPONSIVE Illocution+Expectation" should be changed to "VERIFICATIVE Illocution"

11 Section 3.3 - Roots are now only up to five consonants in length

14 Section 3.6 - "MONDADIC" should be "MONADIC"

15 Section 3.6.1 - "pm -> vmm" should maybe be "pm -> vvm"

18 Due to the -y- infix in level morphemes, modular adjuncts are always ambiguous when encoding any absolute level. For example, the adjunct "oyeha" could encode either just SPLa level or REG aspect + CRO valence

20 Section 3.8.1.1 mentions using a VxCs affix for Mood, which doesn’t exist; only Modular Adjunct and Mood Adjuncts are available, as explained in Section 4.7

20 Section 3.9 - The title still references Expectation

22 The case accessor for INTERPRETATIVE case should read "the party by / thru which / whom X is subjectively interpreted / considered / described"

30 "Case-Assessor" should be "Case-Accessor"

30 Section 3.9.3 still mentions Expectation

30 Section 3.9.3 - "Sections 6.1 through 6.3" and "Sec. 6.4" should be changed to "Sections 3.9.3.1 through 3.9.3.3" and "Sec. 3.9.3.4"

34 Section 4.1 - It is not pragmatic for an affix to scope above an entire formative; forms could instead mark scoping in concatenation chains

34 Section 4.1.2 - 'w and 'y are listed in the examples, but are not valid Cz forms in the table

36 Section 4.3 still references Expectation

36 uhlaihlwi should be changed to uhlaihrwi to reflect the updated Cn value for ASM/CCS

36 wahnyuá should be changed to wahňwìähňwa (or similar) to reflect the updated Cn value for HYP/CCV, and to avoid an invalid Vh value (as of v16, ultimate stress indicates Vh instead of Aspect in slot 5)

36 Modular adjunct slots 3 and 4 use a redundant Cn, which can simply be ň; Vh scoping is impractical (what does it mean to scope above Validation+Illocution+Expectation?) and is de facto given by affixual adjunct scoping

39 Section 4.6 - Agglomerative form v is ambiguous with pi/DET

39 Section 4.6 - Agglomerative form -tļ- is ambiguous with 2p/BEN+pi/NEU. i.e. an adjunct like ëstļu can parse as ë-s-tļ-u or as ë-s-t-ļ-u. Easily solved by eliminating -ļ- as a combining form for pi/NEU

43 Due to geminate referential forms, a word like kapreomma is ambiguous, and may be parsed as k-a-pr-eomm-a, with a VxCs referential affix -eomm-, or as k-a-preo-mm-a with a -preo- referential CsVx and geminated Ca value. This can be resolved by banning referential affixes in slot V or by taking the Nomic -ç- form to form non-geminate forms, e.g. mm→mç, ll→lç, nn→nç, etc.

43 A second ambiguity concerning referential affixes: they are ambiguous with type three case accessors when the latter bear an adverbial case or a spatio-temporal II case. For example, kalöečwa could bear either a type three CON accessor or bear the referential Mx/N/BEN-CON. One solution would be to prohibit using Nomic in referential affixes. For consistency, we could ban all Ca modifications to referentials in affix form, similarly to how it's done in referential formatives

46 In the definition of the Satiative bias, pleasure is misspelled

46 Section 4.9 - Parsing Adjunct says to refer back to Section 2.2 Paragraph 5, when it means Section 2.3 Paragraph 5.

50 Section 5.3 still references Expectation

51 Section 5.4 - Relative Clause Formation contains a superfluous note saying that default values in the linear analysis haven't been included, when this has been the case throughout the document.

54 Section 5.6 - Mmiäxinļ should be Mmiexinļ; Nniexinļ should be Nnioxinļ; Ňňeoxinļ should be Ňňxinļ

55 Section 5.7 - Kšölaelwêi should be kšöllwêi

57 Section 6.0 - ksialärsirwa should be uksialärsëirwa (or perhaps wuksärsëirwa, if RPS was not intended); ksialärsëirwiasta should similarly be uksialärsëirwiasta or wuksärsëirwiasta; SPT/5 affix -irw- should be SPT/5 affix -ëirw-

59 Section 6.1 - wurḑaušš should be wurḑauj

62 Section 7.5 - Yangtze River should be "caň" instead of "caňčyaň" which means "Long river", parallel to hwaň "Yellow river"

62 Section 7.6 - phwära hle’e should be phwära hle’i

62 Section 7.6 - "riyadh" should be spelled "Riyadh" (with a capital R)

62 Ithkuil phonotactic restraints do not apply as long as the name is pronounceable. According to this principle, hönkoň should be made höňkoň for Hong Kong, parallel to čuňkwo for China; Likewise tuňkwan for Dongguan

64 "Papua New Gunea" should be "Papua New Guinea"

64 Are Liberia laibirya and Malaysia mëleisya English pronunciations with local accents? Why using -a instead of schwa?

64 romênia should be romênìa as per Section 1.3.1; tonga should be toňa

64 saintvinsentangrénadinz for St. Vincent & the Grenadines should be seintvinsentangrénadinz (as seintkicannevis for Saint Kitts & Nevis)

65 hlaḑtáu-eḑtëila hi kongo should be hlaḑtáu-eḑtila hi kongo; Also, this seems to make more sense: T1-S1-“democratic government“-OBJ-ASI—S2-“republican government“-OBJ?

026 S3 of -GT- can instead be "obligation/duty"

033 S3 of -ẒŘ- should be extrusion

037/113 "conjecture/estimate" can be moved to S1 of -LČ-, "suggest/propose" can be added to S2 of -LČ-, "postulate" can be moved to S3 of -LČ-; this switches S2 and S3 of -LČW- and eliminates -LTÇ- and -ŇTÇ-, and

038 -LČW- has a typo in hypothesizing

039 S2 of -RŇČ- can include "to coax" and S3 can be substituted with "to socially pressure/shame/guilt"

041 -VLL- should be worded as making/noting an implication; inferring what an implication suggests should be part of the root for guessing or thinking

042 S2 of -DRR- differs from S1 of -LDR- by case marking; "implication" can be taken from -VLL- instead

042 For -ŢRR S1 can be merged into S3 of -DRR- and include "broadcast", S2 is used in -FÇ-, and S3 is used in -TKH-

054 S3 of -THW- should not include "utilizing"

WRITING SYSTEM FOR NEW ITHKUIL (December 2021) edit

02 "Vr Specification, Function, & Stem, plus Vv Designation & Version" should be "Vr Specification, Function, & Context, plus Vv Version & Stem"

02 The table for Relation/Concatenation lists values for concatenated verbs, but it's unclear whether these would show up in actuality, as concatenated formatives do not distinguish between Relations (Slot X stress, which indicates Relation on standalone and parent formatives, instead distinguishes Format series 1-36 from 37-68)

11 "Vlanece" should be "Valence"

13 It is not stated how to write a formative with a Specialized Personal Reference Root; one option is to use the same inverted consonant as Specialized Cs-Roots, but with a superposed diacritic instead (since the Cs-Roots only take underposed diacritics)

15 It is unclear whether Cases RLT, VOC, NAV, and PLM should be written as #8 (reflecting the literal order) or #9 (reflecting the vowel sequence, which skips the ü-series for cases 37-68)

15 The section on Illocution/Expectation is out of date as of the release of Morpho-phonology document v1.0, which removed Expectation and expanded Illocution to 9 values

15 The list of Validation values is incomplete as of the release of Morpho-phonology document v1.0, which added USP Validation

16 "Case Assessor" should be "Case Accessor"

16 There is no method to differentiate between Type-1, -2, and -3 Case Accessor affixes; easily fixed by making both Regular and Inverse diacritics underposed, and using the same superposed diacritics as for VxCs affixes

16 Since the quaternary character is symmetrical, it is unclear how one would differentiate a Case Accessor as the last (or only) affix in Slot V from the first (or only) affix in Slot VII

17 The list of diacritics for Illocution/Expectation/Validation is out of date as of the release of Morpho-phonology document v1.0, as described for page 15 above

18 It is unclear how the bias adjuncts for ACC vs DCC and FSC vs PSM are differentiated, as they all show an unmodified bar

19 It is not stated how to show case-stacking on a referential; likely the best option would be to put the second quaternary character after the consonant (since putting it between the first quaternary character and the consonant can result in ambiguity as to whether the first quaternary character applies to the referential or the preceding formative)

24 The transcription of amļolaňá uses a secondary character for -ml- instead of -mļ-. This character is also rendered in its Cursive Calligraphic form in the Standard Calligraphic example

24 Several diacritics on the Standard Calligraphic example use their Cursive Calligraphic forms instead
