As for me, sometimes the topic has dredged up words which don't exist
in Verdurian (sometimes because the object described doesn't fit into
the Almean world, sometimes just because there's not word for it yet).
That makes it a little difficult to decide what to do, since I'm not
the creator of the language; I just want to show it off ;) Usually, I
make up a word from existing morphemes if I can be fairly certain that
it'll be sort-of OK, or I just ignore it.
(I'll have to see what I do about "finals" and "midterms", since I'm
not sure where such terms fit into Almean education... more info at
http://www.zompist.com/kingdom.htm#schooling in case you're interested
[warning, long page].)
Cheers,
Philip
