Yélian just hit another mark: A week or so ago, with a humiliatingly common word ( genum [ˈxɛnʊm], what means banana), Yélian had 3,000 words Meanwhile, it's about 3150. By the way, my new conlang Yélian has achieved 220 roots. <--- NO! [:D] *By the way, my new conlang CAELIAN has achieved 220 roots...

It would also help if you could provide the English translations of the sentences, so that one can overlook easier which part of speech is placed where in the sentence. The first two seem like: This day is the 34th of the 2nd month of spring, in the 144th year. I write this letter in order to report...

I've made several projects with less than 50 words, which can hardly be called "conlangs". I have one and only too, my Yélian with about 2,500 words. Indeed, in nearly one year of board activity I got the feeling that the relation of quantity and extent of users' conlangs is inversely prop...

It kind does. But as long as /ŋɑχɑd̪͡z̪/ doesn't seem too obvious, you could've gotten away with that.

I'm glad you did.
