Alloscythian

Okay. I give up on Sundays. Let's just go randomly.

The Alloscythian (other Scythes) language is a conlang that I did a while ago. It is a descendant of PIE, a relatively conservative Satem language, with most changes having affected vowel features (nasals and tone).

Here are some example words:

θὲσσου (thèssõ, dirt, uncleanliness). It derives from PIE *dʰéǵʰōm and is related to Latin humus and Greek χθών.

φὲρω (phèrō, I make, create). It derives from PIE *bʰérō, and is related to Latin ferō, Greek φέρω, and English bear. With its difference from Greek only in the diacritic, it must have made the ancients wonder...

Last but not least, the family. Archaically, they were:

• φετήρ, phetḗr, father;
• μάτηρ, mā́tēr, mother;
• φράτηρ, phrā́tēr, brother;
• συέσωρ, suésōr, sister;
• θυχετήρ, thukhetḗr, daughter;
• συσ, sũs, son;
• and specially, σνυὅς, snuhos, new member (bride/groom/baby/prodigal son);

The -τηρ -tēr ending on everything except sister and son changed those two into συέτηρ suétēr and σύτηρ sṹter. Now that -tēr basically meant family, the -tēr wore off as phetḗr became phe, and tēr became a word of its own meaning: a near relative or close friend.

Ignoring length and stress, that puts the Alloscythian word for siste the same as the greek word for luck. I'll need luck if I ever get a sister.

That's all for now, τήρε.
