Well, you can just send the short version: "invent a language" (or as you said: "make a language"). Ohterways you can attempt my approach: is a concept doesn't exist in Chleweyish I just coin a new term and define it... well, Chleweyish is a personal language then any concept I ever want to express shoud have a way to express it, something I cannot do with Hangkerimce (and that's why it is evolving so slo:w). -- Carlos Th
