The difference is in whether the prefix in the compound stands in a genitive or accusative relation to the second element. So volapük 'world's language' could be rendered pük de vol or pük vola. But pükistudan is 'language-study-er', and since I might say that studol püki 'you study a language' that accounts for the use of the accusative in the compound.

Hi. Sort of both, but not completely. I've kept the resources I was using for learning Vp, and the foundation I got doing the experiment is still with me (partly, I think, because I read everything aloud many times – it really sinks in that way). But I'm not currently studying Vp as an active language.
Good to hear. I think a conlang – especially an interlang – will only ever be successful if one can use it, beyond learning it. When all, or most, of the reading materials are written for students, one can’t progress and use the language for enjoyment as one uses one's own language: to chat, read novels, the news, etc. All the best with publishing the novel. When it happens, you should post a thread. Although, apart from an Esperanto room, there's no room dedicated to conlangs in general. Take care. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
