One artlang I sketched once but I think I lost in a hard disk crash, spoken by reptilian beings, used fricatives for all its syllable nuclei.<br /><br />For verb-dominant languages with subject and object incorporation, you might look at some of Jeff Burke's conlangs as well as, I think, Tup'ik and the Algonquian languages Jeff based his conlangs on. If I recall correctly, Jeff has a lot of his nouns being fossilized verb forms or verb phrases.<br /><br />I don't know if there are any polysynthetic natlangs (or conlangs) where roles other than the subject and direct object get incorporated into the verb, or where the incorporation-into-the-verb anaphora or noun slots are more sensitive to semantic than syntactic criteria (I mean like in an engelang such as gzb or Voksigid where the adpositions mark patient, agent, recipient etc. instead of subject, object, indirect object, etc.). That would be interesting.Jim Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264566626205751055noreply@blogger.com
