I like to take a word in some language and then make
small changes until I find one I like.
(cat) -> feline -> feli ->peli -> pelu
look-at -> lugat -> rugat -> rugado
(regard -> regad -> regado) it's nice when the same
word can be derived in two ways that mean the same
thing. :)
(house) -> cabin -> gapin -> gaparin
(kitchen) -> food-room -> pood-riu -> podariu
(church) -> pray-room -> pla-riu -> bilariu
That way the words are different from any language but
still have a slightly familiar ring to them.
