Re: [westasianconlangs] Egyptian-inspired conlang (Is this list still alive?)

Briefly saying, yep.
I've just started a very rudimentary conlang primarily inspired by (Ancient) Egyptian,

Sounds quite promising. I had somewhat similar ideas not long ago, but, as usually, lacked time...
For the moment, at least, I'm calling my new conlang "Dashratic" in honour of it being "not Egyptian" -- historical Egyptian kmt being the "black land", contrasting with dSr.t "red 
land" = desert.


Nice name. No claims, on my side ;)


I've essentially added rather arbitrary vowels
Why not trying some Arabic vocalisation? At least, CaCi:C pattern for adjectives seems so appealing...
So far I have a very simple declensional structure for nouns and adjectives, with masculine and feminine genders, singular and plural numbers, and 3 cases: nominative, oblique, and 
genitive.


Why not retain dual?


Cheers,
Carl
