'home' in a more general sense tends to form its case forms from 'mex-', rather than from 'cirneć', whereas when talking of a specific home, i.e. 'the home of a rich person' or anything where it is more specific than usual, you are likely to use cirne- as the root.

Thursday, March 31st, 2016me, when i pronounce a vowel: “open the airstream. stop having it be closed.”
Thursday, March 31st, 2016white is zulko (revisited)
Thursday, March 31st, 2016Word derivation for "white" :
Basque = zuri, Finnish = valkoinen (valko)
Miresua = zulko
My previous Miresua conlang word for white was zulki. This is a small change. I'm changing the final vowel to the more unusual -O. This is to make the word stand out more. When forming the word, I dropped the adjective forming suffix -INEN from the Finnish source word.
Of course, the word white appears many times in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
"...when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her."

Wednesday, March 30th, 2016As the Neogrammarians said, sound change has no memory - introduce massive changes in your conlang that you’re going to replace with different massive changes a day later because you forgot about the first one. If anyone notices, remind them that sound change has no memory.

Tuesday, March 29th, 2016general comitative case exists
the language has plural and singular congruence
>
the comitative is lost, in general
pronouns retain it, though
>
comitative pronouns get more restricted in distribution, and only appear after verbs
>
comitative pronouns are phonologically reduced and turned into affixes
>
the usage patterns make the meaning more like 'singular subject doing a thing together with singular comitative'
>
meaning slowly changes to just meaning 'two subjects'
