I've been bingeing the Conlangery podcast recently, and they linked to a really interesting-sounding article called "The Blue Bird of Ergativity." The link wouldn't load, but luckily I was able to find a PDF of the article elsewhere. Haven't read it yet, but I thought I would highlight it here.

Bonus 83: Themself, Basque ergativity cartoons, and bad swearing ideas - Deleted scenes from Kirby Conrod, Itxaso Rodriguez-Ordoñez, and Jo Walton and Ada Palmer

We've interviewed lots of great people on Lingthusiasm, and sometimes there's a story or two that we just don't have space for in the main episode, so here's a bonus episode with our favourite recent outtakes! Think of it as a special bonus edition DVD from the past year of Lingthusiasm with director's commentary and deleted scenes.

In this bonus episode, Lauren and Gretchen get enthusiastic about some of our favourite deleted bits from recent interviews that we didn't quite have space to share with you. First, we go back to our online liveshow with fan-favourite guest Kirby Conrod, previously seen talking about singular they and other language and gender topics, about reflexive pronouns (themself vs themselves) and people who use multiple pronouns in fiction and real life. Then we go back to Itxaso Rodriguez-Ordoñez, previously talking about Basque language revival, about how Basque people feel about the famed ergativity (hint: there are cartoons!). Finally, we go back to authors Jo Walton and Ada Palmer, previously talking about swearing in science fiction, fantasy, and history, about bad swearing ideas in fiction and why acronymic etymologies should be viewed with deep suspicion. Listen to this episode of deleted scenes from recent interviews, and get access to many more bonus episodes by supporting Lingthusiasm on Patreon.

Why do all the outer gods of Cthulhu mythos sound so gender though? Your telling me I’m meant to be disgusted and horrified by this?? No, no I just want to look like that.

Some of my personal favourites include:

• Cxaxukluth- “an amorphous, writhing mass of bubbling, nuclear, protoplasmic-gel.” • Aletheia- “a vast spiral of manifold titanic hands with a single cycloptic eye in each palm, and kilometric wire-like protrusions.”

• Ialdagorth- “a black, shapeless, malevolent mist. The sight of such a fiend is unsettling if not traumatising.”

• The Blackness from the Stars- “an immobile blob of living, sentient darkness.”

Now if thats not gender i don’t know what is!
