Hi, as this mail-list is a bit abandoned nowadays, I send you some
basic rules to create words in Aingeljã from their Spanish version.
Here we go:
* -CIÓN => -CJÕ. POSICIÓN => POSICJÕ (position).
* -CIA => -ZA. VALENCIA => VALENZA (Valencia, Spanish city);
CODICIABLE => CODIZABEL (desiderable).
* -AVO, -EVO, -IVO, -OVO => -AU, -EU, -IU, -OU. YUGOSLAVO =>
JUGOSLAU (Yugoslavian); NUEVO => NOU (new); ADJETIVO => AJETIU
(adjective). This sometimes happens with other endings: MANCHEGO =>
MANCHEU (from La Mancha, Spanish region); GALLEGO => GALEU (Galician).
* An L before consonant usually changes into U: CÁLIDO =
CAUDE (warm), ALGUNO = AUCU~ (some); ALMA => AUMA (soul).
* The ending N's in words like MANO (hand), CAMINO (way), DESAYUNO
(breakfast), IMPLICACIÓN (implifcation), etc, are lost, but the
vowels retain a nasal tilde: MÃ, CHAMI~, DISAIXÕ, IMPLICACJÕ, etc.
Their plural is formed addind -NS (masculine) or -NAS (femenine):
MÃNAS, CHAMI~NS, DISAIXÕNS, IMPLICACJÕNAS.
* -DAD and other words ending in -AD, -ED, -UD lose their ending D,
but retain a grave tilde (`). UNIVERSIDAD => UNIVERSITÀ (university),
LIBERTAD => LLUWERTÀ (liberty), MERCED => MERÇÈ (favour, mercy),
VIRTUD => VIRTÙ (virtue). Their plural is formed adding -TAS:
UNIVERSITÀTAS, LLUWERTÀTAS, MERÇÈTAS, VIRTÙTAS (they retain the
tilde).
* -CT- => -T-. ACTOR => ATOR (actor); OCHO => OTE (eight).
* -PT- => -IT-. SIETE => SEIT (seven); ACEPTAR => ACEITRE (to
accept); NEPTUNO => NEITU~ (Neptune).
* -GN- => -IN-. MAGNÉTICO => MAINETIC (magnetic).
* -AJE, -EJE, -OJE, -UJE, and in general all the syllables with the
sound /x/ => -AIX, -EIX, -OIX, -UIX, respectively. Ex: LENGUAJE
=> LANGAIX (language), ÁGIL => AIXIL (agile), AGUJA => ACUIXA
(needle), BAJO => BAIX (under), HOJA => FOIXA (leave), LIGERO =>
LEIXER (light). This sometimes happens with other endings: RUSIA =>
RUIXJA (Russia), FRESA => FREIXA (strawberry), JUEZ => JUDJEIX
(judge), NIEVE => NJEIX (snow), from Latin Nominative NIX), CROACIA
=> CRWAIXJA (Croatia), CÁDIX => CAIX (Cadix, Spanish city).
* Soundless consonants which became sound in Spanish are retained.
Ex: AGUJA => ACUIXA (needle); CODO => COT (elbow); CUBRIR => COPRÂRE
(to cover); TOLEDO => TOLET (Toledo, Spanish city).
* In some Spanish hiatuses, a new D between vowels appears: CREER
=> CREDRE (to beleave, and also to create); CAÍDA => CADUTA (fall).
* Diminutive -ITO, -ITA are -ELL, -ELLA: LLUVIA => PLUGGA (rain);
CHUBASCO/LLOVIZNA => PLUGGELLA (rain shower).
* TRANS- => TRAS-. TRANSPORTE => TRASPORT (transport).
* IN- => UN- (Germanic influence). IMPOSIBLE => UMPOSIBEL
(impossible).
* -BLE => -BEL. INVISIBLE => UNVIDABEL (invisible), from VIDRE = VER
(to see). Also: DIABLO => DJABEL (devil).
* -BS- => -S-. ABSOLUTO => ASOLUT (absolute).
* Many intervocalic V disappear and become W or U. CLAVAR => CLAURE
(to nail), EVA => EWA (Eve, female name), VIVIR => VJURE (to live),
UVA => UWA (grape). Sometimes also with B: BEBER => BEURE (to drink).
* -IZAR => -IÇRE. GENERALIZAR => GGENERALIÇRE (to generalize). The
same for many verbs ending in -ZAR, -CER, -CIR, etc. NACER => NAÇRE
(to be born), COCER => COÇRE (to cook, to boil), PRODUCIR => PRODUÇRE
(to produce), ABRAZAR => IMBRAÇRE (to embrace, to hug).
* Initial L usually becomes palatal, especially if Catalan does the
same: LÉRIDA => LLERDA (Lérida, Spanish city in Catalonia), LENGUA =>
LLINGWA (tongue), LUGO => LLUC (Lugo, Spanish city), LECHE => LLAT
(milk), LIBRE => LLUR (free).
* -ICO, -ICA => -IC, -ICA. MECÁNICO => MECANIC (mechanic), BRITÁNICO
=> BRITANIC (British), BÉLGICA => BELGGICA (Belgium).
* Initial G sometimes become palatal (GG), and sometimes is velar
plosive sound: GENIO => GGENN (genius), ALEMANIA => GGERMANNA
(Germany), GUIPÚZCOA => GIPUSQWA (Guipúzcoa, Spanish city), GEMELO =>
GEMELL (twin).
* Hiatus ÍA often loses its accent and becomes the diphthong JA:
HUNGRÍA => HONGRJA (Hungary), ALMERÍA => ALMERJA (Almería, Spanish
city), TURQUÍA => TURCJA (Turkey).
That's all. Any questions or suggestions??
Adio.
