I cheated. Bulyth is exceptionally simple. The language is supposed to be
that of the Romany-type of people who wander the continent where I keep my
conlangs, so they've naturally borrowed a lot of words. So, what I do is I
try to remember the word I want in _any_ of my conlangs, and then that's it,
Bulyth has borrowed that word. Or, I simply take an Aredos word (I know most
of my Aredos lexicon off by heart after many years of tinkering with it) and
subject it to sound-changes. The core vocabulary (like "kaeth", language
from the Kansetic "kansú") I had to learn though.
