Mario asked about what wordlists may have been used as templates for
beginning a basic conlang vocabulary.

For Druni (at first) I created words at random as they came to mind.  Later I
used a variety of basic wordlists that I had used as a student in learning
French and Italian.

A very good set of Wordlists is found in the book "Loom of Language by
Fredrick Bodmer (W. W. Norton & Company 1944).   Druni now has a vocabulary
approaching 10,000 word and being very derivational is highly expressive.

Dralit Lendemova bashese Maryo,
Good luck to you Mario
