Maggel is an example of a mix of both. It has quite a few words borrowed from
natlangs (but often with some change in pronunciation and/or meaning), as well
as some grammatical features consciously borrowed (but seriously twisted in the
Maggelish sense ;)) ), but its core is still a priori.

I think it's quite frequent, even if it's not always done voluntarily :)) .
