Hope you get feeling better! Everyone in my household was sick at least
twice between Thanksgiving and New Years. :(

> Have y'all designed currency systems for your cultures?
Only minimally. The níímindah people have a rudimentary, but efficient
system of 1,2,4,7.[1] That is, an object (think "coin") with a value of
1; an object worth 2, etc.

Names (in CXS as well as I know how):
1&#8212; E.kEc
2&#8212; NeJ
4&#8212; a.4uk 1st syllable is high tone
7&#8212; Ka:_jx long vowel is high tone

This is kind of new as of today (I haven't conlanged/-cultured in about
a year) so the words don't have "meanings" yet. I'm thinking of coming
up with a meaning for each that would represent something in their
culture. More to come later...maybe :)

[1] This kind of system is not original to me. I don't know if any exist
in the world now, but it appears in the Book of Mormon, and I thought
it would work well for my conculture.
