Well, i have decided to stop at the tree hundred or so roots i have right now. I am actually doing the derivations right now. That part isnt as boring as trying to think of meaning for roots. For y first conlang i am fortunate, i just change the sounds of the original words. This one i have to actually think about the root, and synonyms of the meanings, etc.....a lot of work. With 300 roots i probably have an adequate lexicon for actually using it (the most fun part for me). ____________________________________________________________________ "Raw to the floor like reservoir dogs" - A.V.
