Why it'd be a lie to say that Kalini Sapak has alot of vocab at all, it's certainly an a priori conlang much of whose vocab is from natlang origins. The very name, meaning "Clans' Speech", has the consonants ripped from English "clan" and "speak", while vowels are semitesque infixes indicating case and number.
