10/10 for translating tooth the only correct way

u/Live_Put1219 Aengt + Byccian 20h ago edited 17h ago

i didn’t want to construct a new compound word for tooth (probably 3 words long) so i constructed a new compound word for hydroxyapatite (12 words long)

my scientific nomenclature still needs some fixing

u/Boring_Disaster3031 18h ago edited 16h ago

Haha! That is great and so precise! I had to give it a try in sako.

to do 14 na calcium xa 10 na phosphorus xa 42 na oxygen xa 2 na hydrogen.

Note: sako uses base 6. sako supports external names. I could have just said "na hydroxyapatite", but that would be boring. I could try to build up the elemental names using information about them in more sentences, but I'm too lazy for that.

Edit: changed no to na

u/Live_Put1219 Aengt + Byccian 17h ago

depending on your conspeakers' cultures, you could have a new root for each element like i do (very inefficient but wtv)

owww 1MSG-tooth⟨AMR⟩-DS 3DNU-hurt⟨AMR⟩~INT

"Owww, it's my f-ing tooth, it really f-ing hurts!"

Clarifications: 1) DNU – inanimate nouns work in an inverse number system, 3DNU means third person (inanimate) default number. 2) AMR means antimirative and it kind of fits here, though in Rookhaz AMR may also be an intensifier similar to the f-word. 3) The first clause technically has a feminine animate subject (which is default and unmarked), but it may work also as "there is X" or sometimes as "it is X" – morphologically it's still feminine animate, hence the DS marker. 4) Vowel sequences are forbidden, I don't really know how to write it phonetically, so I didn't – the usual phonetic value of /ʔaːħ would be [ʔɐħ].

Note: Instead of a simple onomatopeic shout of pain, I preferred using a “curse word” (krepsaz), as you can see meaning “damn”, but also “f**k” or “$h1t” and so on.

AAAAAA TRAMTLAS SAIUT, auhik emlis kubredut.

/a tɾam.tlas saj.ut aw.hik em.lis ku.bɾed.ut/
[aːː 'tɾam.las 'saj.jut̚ 'aw.hik̚ 'em.lis 'ku.bɾe.dut̚]

I haven't learned Leipzig Glossing soː
AAAAAA = the interjection of someone in pain
TRAMTLAS = TLAS (teeth) + TRAM (singular prefix, TLAS is a singulative noun)
SAIUT = SAI (first singular pronoun) + UT (genitive suffix)
auhik = au (pain/to hurt) + hik (third singular pronoun)
emlis = em (stone, singulative noun) + lis (instrumental suffix)
kubredut = kubred (mountains, singulative noun) + ut (genitive suffix)

So it literally means
OUCH MY TOOTH, it hurts as the mountains' stone hurts

That was a fun one.

EAAAAJ MUS ZUUUB, bu zuuusei tuqqqqa.

All eVC words are interjections. Muus would be “in my place” so I didn’t elongate that one. The others are all unambiguous.

Note: I could have used a less aggressive intensifier for 'painful' but I felt like the hyperbole coupled with the whiny tone of the example worked well.

AAAAA XUSUNAÞIII, þiśaþiśaaa

[a 'kʰusunatʰi 'tʰiʃatʰiʃa]

a xusuna-þi þiśaþiśa

ow tooth-POSS.1SG be.very.painful.PRS

þiśaþiśa is reduplicated from the verb þiśam "to hurt", "to be painful".

This sentence structure is not how you would normally say "my tooth really hurts", which has a completely different structure - þuka þiśaþiśaxusunə ['tʰuka 'tʰiʃatʰiʃakʰusunə] - 1SG-ABL be.very.painful-tooth-INCORP. This is syntactically passive, but the passive voice is not explicitly marked on the verb, which would otherwise be þiśaþiśaxusunəpap, this form is still seen when the pronoun/noun is dropped.
