Une Question
A friend of mine asked the following: "To any Hebrew speakers who would know this: How does the passive voice work in Hebrew? Can you still state the subject in the phrase or nah?" Could you assist?

Um I dunno. Maybe no. The object is treated as a subject tho and word order is still OV(A) treated as AVO. -- DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)

I didn't understand that, lols. [This has been a Public Service Announcement from your Friendly Neighbourhood Despot.] 06:26, October 19, 2014 (UTC)

Well, let's take an idiomatic non-passive phrase "it's spoken" - "anashim omrim (et) ze" lit. "people speak it" and a literal translation "ze ne'emar" "it's spoken". See that in passive phrase the object's treated as subject? -- DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)

Disregard, I've forgot about the conjunction "al (yadi) ". From that I assume the subject is available in passive voice. -- DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)

y u no luv us :C

(Half) Broken Links
Hello!

In case you were unaware, the Zompist BBoard is highly protective. It is impossible for non-members to view user profiles. The link on your user profile thus does not provide anything other than the login page. I presume you already knew, but if not, you now do. Also, where do you post 'completed' conlangs? Just curious.

Hello again!

On a completely different topic, could you please upload the map with Eketod (I can never be bothered to get the special symbols) on it? I am currently updating the map, and need to know the location of this country in order to add it. Thank you!

Advice
Thanks for the tip on genitive cases! I'm still a baby in this; my only exposure to genitives is in studying JRRT's Doriathric Sindarin. I just wrote that note down because I saw it among the author's notes and didn't want to forget it. Also, I am brand new to wikia and have no idea if I'm using the talkback feature correctly. That's why I'm writing this message here, to make sure it actually gets to you. Cillendor (talk) 17:24, December 9, 2014 (UTC)
