Juist mijn(e?) gedachte.......

ObConlang:  What about baby talk in our conlangs?  Anyone have any?

Kash:  a few items so far:
fufi 'poop'-- std. aful 'b.m.'
çiçi 'sleepy-bye, beddy-bye' -- std. çiru 'sleep'
tisitisi 'tickle-tickle!' -- std. titis 'to tickle' (a friend was amused by
this one day reading over my shoulder, and has added it to his vocab.  So
you see, use of Kash is spreading.  I've long thought it would be The
Perfect IAL but hesitated to say so......))

and a bunch of terms for mommy, daddy, grampa, gramma.
from mambre 'brother' maybe mambi ~mapi; suya 'sister' maybe suçi [suSi]!!
