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
