what does that mean in Wiob?
seib and neib should be words
or neif
seib: snow
Neif SHOULD NOT mean cloud
neif - plaque
seip, neib in Wä.
or Seibe > Seippe
seippe looks finnishy
maybe Wätzmer can be finnishy?
vätsmär
w/ consonant gradation perhaps
<tsm> is more estonianish however
estonian tends to syncope
the native name is Wäßßma
vätsma
looks like an Estonian word

do you plan to have any languages with a dravidian esthetic?
the retroflex mania language is essentially a parody of dravidian

what do you think?
maybe a malayalam-style Azzanic language?
you already have ṭ and ḍ
you can deveop other retroflexes
my favorite is "Und Schmacht. Und Teichlacht. Und Teiceacht."
(of the gibberish sentences we constructed)
Schmacht looks extremely German (i think it even means something - slow?)
Teichlacht is also German but we can see a little Irish creeping up
Teiceacht is extremely Irish
Du sümmelst so gapfer an, wenn du in solch schnöpfen, geschrammten Hückeln inframierst!
Ich ingräliere dir, indem ich dir einen Beschlaubszwicher antabere. Ich möchte dir einen schlaarige Garulierer anzülfen, damit du in gezührigen Anschniegsgahmen verschnülzern kannst.

PIE in Hebrew
This Hebrew abjadic script is based on the glottalic theory: "voiced" stops are written as Hebrew emphatic consonants, and "breathy voiced" stops are written as voiced stops. Also note that the "palatal" series of stops is transcribed with the Hebrew affricate series (thus showing a coincidental Satem bias).

Talsmic
Themsarian
In Themsarian the topic is NOT prominent - the topic comes immediately after the verb most of the time?
Old Vernacular Talsmic
Old Vernacular Talsmic dialects are largely similar to Noble Themsarian, but there are grammatical, lexical and stylistic differences:
- Using the subject-infinitive more and more, eventually to express various aspectual and modal meanings.
- The synthetic preterite falls into disuse, being supplanted by the "after infinitive-subject" construction.
- Collapses all state distinctions in adjectives (into the former predicative form)
- The dual is often not used, except for emphasis or stylistic reasons.
Given topic prominence and topicalization = fronting, new (discourse-new) subject is fronted, since it is new topic. Then this becomes a topic prominent/V2 language as in vernacular Talsmic. Relative clauses are by default VSO but can undergo fronting for focus. Discourse-new object is fronted as well.
Qelorian
- The subject of a relative clause is indexed by adding a pronominal suffix on the head (if they are different)
