LMAO... ever since I got really going on Lego (my conlang), I am not at
all interested in TV (& at times, food).
In fact I think I can make 2 conlangs at once out of what I find in ISV*
Greek roots (International Scientific Vocabulary):
1] Lego conlang : Greco roots feed thru English, Italian, & Spanish
Interlingua-styled to create a semi-familiar neo-futurist(ic)/dadaistic
pidgin conlang with semi-phonemic spelling & easy pronunciation, ... imagine
a beady-eyed "slang"y English ;) impacted by collision with Italian, Spanish,
and pidgin, somting like:
mi empirico di-vinci tolkien Lego ~
<<me {attempt/experiment} invent conlang Lego>>
schema: mi empirico - mi ne mezzofanti
<<reason: me attempt - me no {multilingual/Mezzofanti}>>
2} the other Greco-conlang is the one I kinda sketched out earlier under
Lego Revision 2.0. - the one where I am more intrigued with phonemetic
spelling based on Implicational Universals of phonology & a more complex
syntax (with a gender system) than pidgin. Tentative name for this particular
conlang: Linga (or *gigglabyte* Legokhit: "Lego" + "Prakrit") - after all,
the words IMHO vaguely seem like a Greek and Pali/Sanskrit hybrid simplified:
Some of my tentative, ruff-sketch Linga words so far:
_kh:tona_ from "chthonos", of the earth & underworld (mythic/poetic)...
chthonic
_seluna_ from "seleno" (& "luna").... selenography
_dhanata_ from "Thanatos".... thanatology
_saelio_ from "helio" ... heliotopography (& "sola-")
_teknoesi_ from "techno-", "noe(tics)" + "gnosis" (my neologism - so far
- for "science") ... _kosma-teknoesi_ : "astronomy" & all sciences related to
the cosmos, heavens, stars, etc.
_aleagenesi_ "alea(toric)" + "genesis" ===><evolution>
(additionally: _aleagenesi daida_ means "chance creation art" related to
both Dada [ & _daida_ is from "Daidalos" - Greek original for Latinized
"Daedalus"] also _aleagenesi daida_ is relatedable - in my mind - to _lila_
- Sanskrit, "divine [creative, dance of] play."
enuff said, never enuff done...
