Words i accumulated or invented so far

[Vlet Hansen]

I'm already examining it, vod. This is always going to be a place where new knowledge is gleefully devoured.

Regarding the handwriting, I have a lot of spare time right now, I'm going to start making a handwriting version just to see how it goes. First prototype will be block letters strongly based off the existing script, just simplified for the hand. Maybe a cursive version will come later.

Taljair, I promise that your work will not mysteriously disappear, nor will it go unattributed.

I will work out the code required to add your new vocabulary and to highlight it as user-contributed with a link to your user page or at least your name before having you actually share the file with me. I need to think about how to enable you to edit/update your entries in the event they evolve or corrections need to be made. For the time being any spreadsheet you contribute would remain as a file upload link here in the forum for others to view; as I finish the changes required to support integrating it, I will then contact you again by PM. What I am proposing here is a rather large change to the way the translator is currently managed, so it won't be ready for a while. In the meantime we will learn from (and analyse) what you have shared in this thread in plaintext.

This is my work. It's still work in progress, but this is the latest i have.
The blue lines is the words i added. Please, dont look at the "written" column, it's still needs work done.
And i dont really need any access to admin the translator, i dont have a lot of time and probably skill to do that anyway. I just trust you will use what i did so far for good purpose.

[Tal’jair Rusk]

Looks like i made a common mistake and messed up the "way" an "road" words. Took "goy" for stem while in fact it was "yust". Working on correcting it all.

In case anyone is wondering where some of their posts went, I split this discussion into two more topics, to cater more specifically to each discussion.

The posts concerning alternate time measurement systems can now be found here: viewtopic.php?t=110

The posts concerning writing systems can now be found here: viewtopic.php?t=111

This thread can continue to host discussion related to Taljair's additions to the lexicon.

[Tal’jair Rusk]

I'd just thought you need to correct the entry about me in "List of custom words" for i didnt add 2000 words, just something around 700

[Adi'karta]

Good catch. Changed.

[Tal’jair Rusk]

Men, i was thinking about the see/look words. We seem to have a common stem in those words, namely "sur". And this word has to have a meaning by itself i think. The most sensible meaning would be "eye", but we have a cannon word for it already (sur'haai). In my humble opinion it's too long, but i'm not voting to change it, its cannon anyway. So i was thinking "sur" can mean "sight". Not the "landscape" but simply the picture before your eyes, something you see at the given moment.
In this case "sur'gaan", "sur'ar" and others fall neatly with this meaning, along with new words like "sur'dha".
Any thoughts on this?

[Vlet Hansen]

Sounds good. I usually shorten eye to haai anyways...

[Vlet Hansen]

do we have words for how and why yet?

[Adi'karta]

"Why" could be tion'jorbe (what reason).

"How" would begin with tion and end with whatever word we can find for "method", "way", etc.

[Tal’jair Rusk]

Actually we have cannon word for "why" - its "tion'jor"
As for "how" - I already suggested "tion'bor", as in "what work it requiered"

[Adi'karta]

Perfect.

And I swear "tion'jor" did not come up in the dictionary when I searched it before my post.

That said...it's definitely descended from the same stem I picked for my custom construction.

It looks like I miscalculated our achievement in word count. There seem to be a lot of duplicates in the dictionary (“solus” for example was put in 4 times). Fixing the thing took a little time.
Excluding the phrases and proverbs we also have in the dictionary (which number no less then 91) we now stand with 1873 words in the dictionary.
I’ll keep working myself as well as looking and searching for other people’s inventions and additions to include in the dictionary. Current goal is at least 2000 words, which as Kar’ika so humbly put it is a minimum for language to survive. Keep it up people, we’re almost there!
