Necesity. Just begin witing in your conlang (either translating or generating original work) things that are relevant, i.e. if your conlang is related with a conculture, try imaging what would people in that culture want to say and found a way to say it, if your conlang is an auxlang (or a conauxlang), a list like the one Mathew Willoughby posted (http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/6794/first101words2.html). When you are writing you will need some vocabulary and that is the vocabulary you are getting. -- Carlos Eugenio Thompson Pinzsn ITEC-Telecom, Colombia cthompso@alpha.telecom-co.net http://alpha.telecom-co.net/~cthompso/ Di mi beh em je lok mi ju je kom lon vu am je
