Haha, not quite. Shall I give a hint? /m/ in /sochm/ and /alim/ marks a plural.

I look for soldiers and find elves in heavy silence?
I look for socks and meet aliens in high sleet?
Any combination of the above?

/m:ite/ for mhite? /mwite/?

Those are fantastic guesses and make me wish they were the answer but, unfortunately, they are not. Wink Haha, I laughed out loud at those. You should post 'em on a separate thread as a translation excercise, I would totally do them. Or I could just do that here, I suppose. Razz

As for /mhite/, yeah! [mwite]! :applauding emoticon:

So, were any of the new words right? You don't really make it clear...

For something to do, if anyone's interested you could take a shot at this:

bëld rá śerdeta corra isiséniðúnih dälawc gyd budunébajawc.

This language is related to ra cel, to not leave you totally in the dark if you want to guess.

Ok, let's start with some intuitive guesses Smile
How about this:

/b@ld 4a: Se4deta kora isise:niDu:nih d&lawk gyd budune:bajawk/
is any of that correct?

Great! You got most of it! Bolded parts are correct. There's some variation in some of the sounds so I won't be too nitpicky about them, but you haven't quite got the base phonemes of what's left.

Hey, that's great Smile

Let's try this variant:
/p&ld r\a: Ser\teTa kora isise:niDu:nix tAlawk gyt pudune:padZawk/

I have no idea what the umlaut/trema means and what are the confines for the (apparent) allophony in <d>

I guess the @ didn't show up in bold very well - that was actually right. Or maybe I just forgot to include it in my answer.

The umlauts show a shift in vowel pronunciation but not necessarily rounding.

You got /d/ - it devoices around certain vowels, voiceless consonants, and word-finally.

Think more simply along the lines of /r/. If it's causing confusion, in /corra/ the double r is actually more like [R] than [r]. /h/ and /j/ may be the most difficult.

If anyone's interested, once I finish my current TC in this lang I could put up some info about it.

I was thinking simply, when I guessed [4] for <r> everything else for me is not simple at all Very Happy (I'm Latvian)

I peeked at the ra cel thread. Does <j> stand for [dz\]?

Does <ä> stand for [æ]? (IPA)

As for the <h>, is it dorsal~glottal?

I'll give you /r/... it's [r]. I figured the trill was the other most common pronunciation of /r/ next to [4], but maybe my exposure to natlangs is much more narrow than I thought.

/j/ is not [dz\], though it would be a good guess. It is not an apical or laminal consonant, if that helps.

Yes, /ä/ is [æ]. Good job. Wink Just a couple more!

/h/ is glottal, and can be one of two sounds depending on environment, sort of like /d/.
