Concept: Conlang where...

  • Verbs are morphologically indistinguishable from nouns, and indeed every noun is a homophone of a verb
  • Subject, object, and verb are unmarked, requiring a strict word order
  • Said word order is OSV (everyone loves waiting for the verb to show up), and of course both O and S can be dropped
  • Therefore, you can halt any sentence after any word and end up with a valid utterance (but it might mean something completely unrelated to the original sentence)
  • Therefore, every sentence is a garden path sentence, and listening to someone speak is an infinite staircase of mental stumbles as you have to reanalyze their utterances after every single word
