Re: [romanceconlang] Pronouns

Glad you like the pronouns.  I've been working on them for several months, and then inspiration suddenly hit.
 
I've decided to unsubscribe from Romanceconlang and Conlang, however, due to the difficulties everyone seems to be having reading my mails.  I don't know what the problem is.  When I get my mails back they look just fine.  Everyone else's emails look just fine too as long as they abstain from all accented characters, but on these lists accents, umlauts and ogoneks abound.  I've waded throught them and guesed at the content the best I could.  But this is about the 7th or 8th email I've gotten in 2 weeks from these two lists complaining about a format I can't change.  I refuse to ever use Hotmail again after what they did to me.  I don't care to change services again or to go with the multiple accounts thing, so in order not to bother everyone, since I seem to have made such a pest of myself by sending email others can't read, I'll be on my way.
 
If anyone cares to keep in touch off list I might send an update on Carrajena through a third party from time to time.  Otherwise TTFN.

This I like, the m/f distinction. Is there a
reason it doesn't happen in the informal forms?

I also like the t- / v- split for normal / formal
in _both_ numbers.

I like the sound of these. It almost looks like
unus/-a/-um might have been the cause of some
contamination in there, along with id.

Same as above, especially the addition of tu to
the plural normal form.

That's a neat system!

Only one: you _really_ need to do this in plain
text with a conventinal quoting scheme! None of
the other yahoo users' mais come out all screwy
(and marginally legible) like yours do. There is
a mail options link that can take care of this
problem!
