Make a Qatama word.

d'nangha - N: a rejected member of a family V: to be rejected from one's family And while I'm at it: d'myong - N: a person who is disabled V: to be disabled d'nangha is good....but I'm not sure how I feel about d'myong, something about saying /d@?mjo:N/ just doesn't sound Qatama to me.

Well you have two options, acception or exception. You can either accept the fact that it's a legitimate Qatama word, or you can make it an exception. And just so you can check possible words, I'm going to bump the Awkwords Word Generator at you. Of course you should be able to remove any exceptions via the pattern and proof reading. And to rectify the d'myong issue, How about d'mong?

d'mong is good. As for the Word Generator, I've seen it and used it before...not really my cup of tea when working with Qatama.

I've found that it's interesting in helping me discover exceptions in what I hope to turn into a new conlang, although I'm deciding on whether to learn a natlang or conlang first to help. So how are yuou going to solve the problem of d'myong, seeing as it's a perfectly legal word.

So how are yuou going to solve the problem of d'myong, seeing as it's a perfectly legal word. I don't see it as a "problem"...there are many words that I don't use that fit the schema perfectly fine, and conversly there are words that violate the phonotactics in horrible ways that I refuse to let go of...basically the chart is a guideline, not an absolute restriction. The baseline issue with this particular word is that a cluster follows <@?>...which is something I have avoided in my inclusions.

http://wiki.frath.net/Qatama_dictionary I have begun to record all Qatama words in the first completely web-based dictionary. I will consider adding all serious suggestions for "created" Qatama words. Those interested should watch this page closely as I intend to add a minimum of two words daily.

http://wiki.frath.net/Qatama_basic_phrases Along with the dictionary, I have decided to expand and update the basic phrases page. It's a good place to learn a bit of Qatama, and may help in understanding Qatama grammar.
