@CursedConfetti confusing conlang

ku'mbu ye, ona çe la çe
She really won't listen to the group

S'úu twa a'aasa manii, yi'mbo 5, okka ona'wwa twa twa

She gathered the money, 5 bucks, so on she went

That's actually

Twa s'úu ye |a'aasa manii yi'mbo 5¦ okka ona'wwa twa

Fut. Shop acc ¦ gather money mod* | follow 3sg think fut
She gathered the money for the store, 5 bucks, so on she went

*flat, paperlike

Though because of toki pona,

'wwa /ʔwːa/
Doesn't really mean think/wonder/decide.... Its kinda ' executive function'

@CursedConfetti

@CursedConfetti

Do you mean wawa?

According to the official book it means power, strength, courage, energy, etc.

Executive function seems more like it would fall under lawa.

Perhaps the compound word might be:

lawa wawa

(Ruling power)

Hm. Interesting.

@RussSharek
`wwa comes from lawa

Theres a google doc of the mutations I gave it all
I might change the mb s to mf s but i like the presence of mb

@RussSharek
Soo, if that is to 'decide/think/do as an executive function' that would mean there's a matching pair for 'decide/think/do' in a non executive, instinctual way

A'awúu

Ona ye, mua 'wwa
I thought of it (consciously), I chose for it
Ona ye, mua a'awúu
I thought of it (subconsciously), I reacted to it

@RussSharek
Im really liking this, a'awúu could 'translate' to a lot of emotions like fear and love but at the same time..... Not.... Really?

@CursedConfetti

I see raw impulse as the opposite of executive function.

In traditional tp 'wile' versus 'lawa', ie the motor and the governor.

@RussSharek
Yeah, though here I wilm distinguish

(executive function, decision) vs ( conscious will or want)
With
(instinctual function, decision)
And leave out instinctual/subconscious wants

@CursedConfetti

Interesting idea.

Mind you, the language purist in me wants to scream. :)

@Baerd
Right now, I've gutted the original word list

Introducing glottal stops and tone register particularly

Imma spend some time figuring out how to sort out how noun classifiers work tomorrow

@CursedConfetti when i'm at work à take à réal look at it

@Baerd
Marked vowel, unmarked vowel
Is long falling tone
Unmarked marked
Long Rising
Or a vowel can be long
Or high
But it cant be short and falling

I might also clean up glottal stop rules

@CursedConfetti tag yourself i'm long and high
