Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth
Re: Lexicon milestones
That seems safest...
Sin ar Pàrras agus nì sinne mar a thogras sinn. Choisinn sinn e agus ’s urrainn dhuinn ga loisgeadh.

Re: Lexicon milestones
Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth would agree:
"A coward thinks he'll always live
If he keeps himself from strife;
Old age leaves no rest and peace
Though spears may spare his life."
-excerpt from Live Without Regrets, album: Surtur Rising
That said, I'm not a warrior nor part of a warrior culture as the characters in Shakespear's play or Johan's songs tend to be. :p

Re: Lexicon milestones
30,000 words!
Yesterday my Kankonian dictionary reached its 30,000-word mark.
The thirty thousandth word was "hozos na thashe", meaning box jelly. The word literally translates as "cube of poison".
I ate a Russell Stover coconut cream Easter egg to celebrate. It was scrumdiddlyumptious (though not made by Willy Wonka -- my housemate Carl tells me all Willy Wonka candies are evil, as they make the candy out of children and then turn said children's parents into Oompa-loompas).

1 word!
I recently wiped my online dictionary clean, so I decided to start by adding the first word again, and I added the word meaning 'new', to begin with, of course!

Congratulations on the milestone though. It's a great language, so I'm glad you're sticking with it.

Re: Lexicon milestones
The only conlang I ever had that got past 100 words was Demonos, which got to about 200-400 (can't remember).
However, Demonos' heavy derivation kind of made this cheating.

Ilian currently stands at about 310 root words, not counting numbers and things produced through agglutination.
I've not the foggiest idea about Telèmor. I should probably count at some point.

And I'll dance with you in Vienna,
I'll be wearing a river's disguise;
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thigh...
Looking for subjects to appear on banknotes. Inquire within.

Re: Lexicon milestones
I have actually begun vocabbing for Mhmmz, right now I have around 50 words (Including derivations and numerals)
One word i like is the word for "owl": qlqj [ʔɴ̩́ʔɴ̩̂]
It's onomatopoetic

Re: Lexicon milestones
Evelēranēl, my first real conlang and, despite its n00blang tendencies, a personal favorite, has upwards of 1500 words - my lexicon also counts idioms and loanwords, so the number isn't definite. It's 1000th word was ēšoka, 'the act of being sorry'.
Genljøŋ, my agglutinative pet project that was spawned from a list of Old English conjugations of 'to be' (but no longer has 'to be'), has just less than 500. It's 100th, if I recall, was þbjü, 'fox'.
Pa Ko Tseng Fe Cun, the remake of my first 'conlang' *coughutterfailurecough* has a maximum of 433 morphemes, and... 4*433 words. Only about 150 or so are actually assigned yet, however.
HyPry (C Cou Proıdounıœmæ Lègælıefra), a case-overdosed, state-declining jumble of tones and diphthongs, has (according to Lexique Pro) exactly 760 words. This is inaccurate, as I have a few hundred that I haven't bothered putting into the lexicon yet, so we'll say about 1000.
Sśesháza has... let me count... sixteen words.
Bų́ép'û̀dsếvề, which is a vowel-shifting mess I hate with a passion but can't bring myself to scrap, has about a dozen.
Most of the others don't even have vocabulary. Tptpd likely never will. Same with óó'ú. And Drakkailak. Syelticclicscue has a rather large vocabulary but not a mite of grammar.

Actually, now that I'm counting, Maxédri just hit its 500th word; it being:
