Bah, I accidentally sent this just to Jim. Here's my second try. :)

Well, AFMC...
Asha'ille does not yet have a word for "vocabulary." "Language" is
|dasharíd|, which is etymologically from |das| "all" and |sharíd|
"word".
There also exists the morpheme |-eme|, "collection of," which would
make |sharídeme| mean, literally, a "collection of words." Less poetic
than a tesorería de palabras, though.
Anyone have good methods or advice on coming up with nice, figurative phrases?
