Meaning/Semantic/Polysemy Evolution Game
Meaning/Semantic/Polysemy Evolution Game
You post a meaning and others evolve a new meaning from it which may or may not include inflection. Preferably you will provide forms in the language. Multiple derivations or polysemy in the new meaning are appreciated.
For examples: *riko "cat" comes from *ko "small animal" in Old Amarin via the addition of an unknown prefix either *ti or *ri, *ina "dog" comes from Proto Amaric *eina "weasel/stoat" and *rikita "fan" derives from an Old Amarin verb *tike meaning "to admire".
To Start: "to start/begin/ready"
