I used to have forty or so entries in it, and at the moment it's down
to 19. I don't sit down and create roots by the bushel either, it's
just if I come across something and think "this could be a Valdyan
word, but I don't know what it means yet" I put it in and leave it
there until I need it to mean something.

I've bought a word-search book to make combinations that I hadn't
thought of catch my eye, and it's yielded a dozen or so already
(though some of those may already be in the SRF, I haven't typed them
up yet). If I go at it methodically, or even write a script to do it,
*everything* sounds wrong and I end up choosing nothing.
