This is one way I've thought of to "invent" words for a vocabulary. I made a program that went through a text file and switched all voiced consonants with their voiceless counterpart and vice-versa and rotated the vowels. The output is something that you can actually read, and a great source of vocab, albeit not truly "invented" words:) today = dutey program = brukrem, etc. [JRH]
