Re: Translation challenge: Fiat lingua

After some agonizing over the various forms this might take in my conlangs, I have
exercised a little executive fiat to homologate the most appropriate Jiggoghiid
translation:

ji!
/J\i/
Language!

I'm still procrastinating over the sound changes for Thagojian, but it will
probably be simply "language exist.inceptive.imperative" in the interlinear. I
might be able to dummy up a Br'ga version if I don't over-think it. The
interlinear will be something like "speak.NOMINA_ACTIONIS.SYSTEM.make.UNDERGO",
give or take the exact set of derivational suffixes available.
