Hi! ... Could you give more background information about the lang? Looks interesting, but I don't know where to start to analyse. Greek with Celtic sound...

... I'm not sure. From a quick scan, it shows that there is pretty close to a one-to-one correspondence between the Greek and Cunwy texts. That would indicate...
... A very quick glance suggests that the greek text has been fed through the GMP, i.e. subject to the Common Celtic >> Welsh sound changes. One problem here...
... Naturally, part of the problem is that I don't have access to the grammar of Cunwy. I can't tell much about the posterior ends of the words -- clearly,...
... The GMP in the Files is modified from the Brithenig GMP (hence some initial simplification). The linguistic POD is earlier than one might expect. Latin is...
... Interesting! Is this what you're doing?: a sort of Greek empire that replaces the Latin empire, and various substrate languages (like Celtic) will end up...

... If you want to keep the case system, you might be better following an Irish rather than a Welsh model. In OI original final long vowels are retained, and...
Hello, ... If you're aiming for a _really_ Welshy system, you should mess it up, and tack ending of random types on random stems, i. e. without reference to...

Thought this would make a dandy translation exercise, so: 6. Fus yn om Dieos mandoes, et po li mezisem il nom Jowan; 7. Gouenis c' ys peraz lâ destimonea,...

... I tried to get Brithenig to go that way early on when we were discussing plural forms, but it was not to be. I also didn't know the whys and wherefores of...

... No the case system was completely lost in Welsh (and Cornish and Breton), each noun has just a singular and a plural. Plurals are formed by vowel change,...
... I don't disagree that Cunwy could have case endings, seeing as it's based on Greek. What was mixed up in Welsh was the plural forms (the discussion about...
