i'm not a poet and i'm not big on reading poetry either. Real language is
created first for communication, and secondly for arts, and that's the way
i'm creating Minyeva. Minyeva kind of has some auxlang qualities, one of
them being the lack of synonyms/homophones. It's a lablang, vs. being an
artlang.
