As I have said before, creating vocabulary is the most interesting part of conlanging to me. I have come across a few words in the dictionary which may be of interest. I like using compound words to express nuances of a basic word. These words all use "bear," as in ursus, as the modifier. rþßêlcin; rþßen, bear, + êlcin, hungry = ravenous rþßëpââltin; rþßen, bear, + pââltin, wide = huge, enormous rþßëßêmvin; rþßen, bear, + ßêmvin, toothed = grumpy ß = dz); c = k.
