zombie minicomic, linguistics

@packbat georgian allows things like gvprtskvni, which is 1) technically one syllable by georgian rules and 2) a nonsense word, it's grammatically well-formed but doesn't actually make sense

@Felthry oh yeah, English is not unique in this regard

we're just thinking about it because jan Misali recently put out a video about toki pona and your post about that Castlevania character had us looking at Japanese and both of those have /far/ more restrictive syllable structures
