Lexicon milestones and discussion of lexicon growth

[lsd]

semantic primes languages,
are all the more successful,
for having so few of them...

Well, it happened. I tweaked somigos (introspection) to create soumoigz, a verb meaning "to introspect".

Kankonian is now at 100,000 words! Tied with Mmavvii! Woo-hoo!

That's cool.

Congratulations! sumurayo':

That is such an auspicious number! Nine out of ten Hindu mystics agree: if you reach one hundred thousand, you will have good lakh.

Kankonian is now officially #1.

At 8:49 p.m., I added the word bakotzios, meaning "intrusiveness", to Kankonian. It wasn't a remarkable word; just the abstract noun suffix -os added onto the adjective bakotzi (intrusive).

With this, Kankonian surpasses Mmavvii's 100,000 to become the largest-lexiconed conlang known to Man.

100,001 words!

A special thank-you to Arayaz for cheering me on, and everyone else who watched me on Kankonian's 28-year journey to achieving the world's largest conlang lexicon.

Congratulations, Khemehekis! Apologies I missed the fun; kudos on making your conlang officially #1, now above that other thing.

This is a huge moment in conlanging history and I'm so happy I got to witness it firsthand! You are an inspiration to us all, Khemehekis!
I wish I saw this happen live, but unfortunately I had homework and sleeping to do [:(]. This is still super exciting!

[Khemehekis]

Congratsssssss!

Congratulations!

Congrats! What's your next goal?

Thanks, guys!

My next goal? Probably to finish the IGCE list (I'm currently in the I's).

That's cool.

Thanks, guys! And prettydragoon -- that's a great line! I'm going to put that up at the Famous Quotes thread.

Apology accepted.

I like "that other thing". That's like Biden calling Trump "the former guy".

"A huge moment in conlanging history" -- great way to put it! Your words bring tears to my eyes.

I'm so angry at myself for missing a historical moment for the CBB and the conlanging community as a whole... Congrats Khemehekis! Your dedication to Kankonian is insane, in a good way.

You missed it? That's too bad. And I love the quote "Your dedication to Kankonian is insane, in a good way".

Just out of curiosity, how many natlangs even don't have a recorded dictionary of more than 100,000 entries? I assume there are many languages of smaller groups where nobody ever compiled a dictionary of that size.

Well, apparently, Hawaiian has only 43,015 words.
