Hi,
I'd like to contribute with words from my conlangs too. Maybe this is
last week's, but since new ones aren't posted yet...

I'm new here and I don't know anything about your projects. Mine is
for a book. I had a fantasy land when I was young, and I have tried
to analyse the numerous names I invented for it to construct
languages for them. So far I have ended up with an Indoeuropean
language and a Caucasian one, but strongly Basque-inspired.
