Is that just roots or is that the total with derivatives?

You should look on langmaker.com -- there's a page where the languages are
organised by lexicon size.

http://www.langmaker.com/db/mdl_index_lexiconsize.htm

Your Silindion is on there, actually, but it looks like someone else
submitted it and the lexicon is listed as 0.

My Rhean lexicon (Excel spreadsheet) has 3205 entries, but those aren't all
roots (I wish there were that many roots!) and I haven't been consistent
with what derivations get their own entry. And thirty-one of the entries are
the letter names.

First word: aadi - "normal, ordinary, usual" - aj
Last word: z'war - "tide" - n

Verb total: 695
First verb: abak - "stay, remain"
Last verb: zvingek - "throw"
