thank goodness you're back. i did enjoy biblaridion's tutorial series, they're way to condensed for me to understand how the decisions i make can affect the aesthetic of my conlangs, and these more specified videos have been much more informative and helpful in explaining the effects of my choices in much more detail.
Cool video. I like how in english, the tense of a verb can sometimes be applied to the pronoun rather than the verb. For example "i go" is present but "i'll go" is future. Or "i'ma go". a language can do that for any tense. i never thought abt the concept of "wife to be" & "ex wife-to-be" etc that you mention here. Cool stuff.
Glad to hear you enjoy! In my experience documentation is very much dependent on personal preference, so it's best to try a lot of different things to sort of see what sticks in my opinion. I tend to be very disorganized personally, but I usually just have a large spreadsheet open where I'll write down notes, phonetic inventories, grammar ideas, etc. Then I'll refine those and put detailed notes about grammar and lexicon on a google doc. But that is just my way of doing things and I encourage you to experiment a bit with handwritten stuff, spreadsheets, etc. Hopefully that helps a bit!

Hello, don't you have a Laghama glossary that you can provide me with?
I kind of want to count this as a Christmas present ^^;
Enjoying the series so far! Do you have any recommendations for how to document a conlang or what to document in it because I still feel a bit lost.

Cool, thanks! I'll definitely try and mess around with different systems to see what sticks
