Os amb os, sang amb sang, membre amb membre. Un encanteri de guariment que es troba en alt alemany antic i a l'Atharvaveda, ara cantat de nou en dunga, una llengua feta amb arrels indoeuropees

Bone to bone, blood to blood, limb to limb. A healing charm found in Old High German and in the Atharvaveda, now chanted again in Dunga, a language built from Proto-Indo-European roots.

@dolaraens They do: -o- is the old PIE thematic vowel, the same link you hear in Greek astr-o-nomia. In Dunga it’s only a repair, never a general linker, so it stays rare and unmistakable. Fun detail: Kwe-Zho couldn’t exist here in Dunga, since every kw collapsed to k.

[Dunga Somos @dungasomos]

What if an auxlang skipped its source languages and went straight to their common ancestor?

Dunga is built entirely from Proto-Indo-European roots. Name → nomun. Night → nokts. Star → ster.

@dolaraens 3/3 One safety valve: if a seam would stack 4+ consonants, the old thematic -o- slips in (pekt- + -trom → pektotrom). Just three words in the whole lexicon.

[Dunga Somos @dungasomos]

@dolaraens 2/3 At the seam the morpheme is always written whole, even if a letter doubles. We used to simplify doubles, until the script built all 6,413 derived forms and found 37 accidental homonyms (da- ‘divide’ and dam- ‘tame’ + -mun both gave damun). Now: damun vs dammun.

[Dunga Somos @dungasomos]

@dolaraens 4/4. Even the name obeyed: *dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s ‘tongue’ → dungwa → Dunga, once the kw/gw collapse became a general rule. Vu-θul sounds great.

[Dunga Somos @dungasomos]

@dolaraens 3/4. Laryngeals vanish, or leave an a where they coloured or carried a vowel (*h₂stḗr → ster, *ph₂tḗr → pater). The one manual step: if two roots would land on the same form, we choose a variant (nobos ‘navel’ vs nebos ‘cloud’).

[Dunga Somos @dungasomos]

*h₁nómn̥ → nomun
*nókʷts → nokts
*h₂stḗr → ster

Dunga: an auxiliary language built solely on PIE roots with secure cognate sets. Every word traceable to its root.

An auxlang with one hard rule: no root without an attestation in LIV, Pokorny or Köbler. 4,375 roots, zero coinages, each with its etymon. Schleicher's fable too — https://t.co/Bw0cXQAOdv

#IndoEuropean #HistoricalLinguistics #etymology #ProtoIndoEuropean #linguistics

[Dunga Somos @dungasomos]

*dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s → dunga 'language'. Every word in Dunga Somos comes from an attested PIE root — zero coinages. Isolating, fully regular. Course & proofreader: https://t.co/Bw0cXQAOdv
