Just finished my long haul through the A-words in my friend's corpus. I ended up adding 1,582 new Kankonian words, as I went from having 87,780 to having 89,362. Definitely worth it.
Doing B-words should get me past the 90,000 mark!

Looks good so far. Reminds me of the indigenous tongues of Soith America.

Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Spiders, Vosem Chart users, pianists, and Thomas Jefferson rejoice: I have just reached word #88,888 in Kankonian! My word was shuyeslavambio , meaning "architexture". It comes from shuyes (across) and lavambio (work, as in a work of art), since an architexture is a theme that spans an art...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
To the first one, I will admit that it’d be a bit… interesting with the table setup I have currently, but it is possible to make the table set up clearer as to what meanings the Zareian words are used to convey, and thus allow for both ‘had’ and ‘sani’ to mean ‘be’. I don’t really know how to do so...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
What are the differences between sani and had ? Also, by the A in "ask", do you mean /a/, the vowel in the song "Alouette", halfway in between the A in "cat" and the A in "party"? There is no difference between sani and had . Thank you very much for pointing ...

Using a word gen, having troubles deciding what order of frequency my phonemes should be in. Learned that phoneme distributions tend to follow a Yule-Simon distribution pattern.

Re: Latin questions (Lingua latina)
EDIT: fwiw, I'm not sure whether we need a new thread every time somebody wants to complain about an argument they had on wikipedia or the like! The reason I created a new thread was because the primary purpose of my last post was to find out how to say "if there, not here" in Latin. You ...

Re: Latin questions (Lingua latina)
I am doing a write-up on a text on logical fallacies published in Ciladian in Ancient Ciladia (a country that once existed on Kankonia). There's one I'd like to give a Latin name to, in addition to its Ciladian name, but am not too sure about. This fallacy I want to call a Classical Latin translatio...

Well, I assume you mean that the different projects that you and I have worked on likely reflect our different preferences as conlangers. [:)] Not just preferences, but styles .

Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Interesting. Are interspecies relationships uniformly accepted in the Lehola Galaxy, or are there some cultures where they're frowned upon, or forbidden? Really socially liberal cultures like the Kankonian or Shaleyan wouldn't have any problem with them . . . the galaxy as a whole when it comes to ...

Re: Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Today I came up with the concept of tyashusial orientation for the Lehola Galaxy. Tyashus is the Ciladian word for "race", and it's used in modern Kankonian to mean what species of sapient someone is (human, Grey, Domehead, ilti, lef, wama, etc.) (The Kankonian word for "race", y...
