I have to go back to work now, so I do not have time
to check it, but I like the way it sounds. Ygyde does
not sound bad at all!

silent, quiet = acujuli = "adjective opposite loud"

JF> How do you say "knight" in Ygyde?

This word was not in the dictionary. I just made it:
knight = oketapy = "noun strong war person" (an)

I believe that Ygyde is not yet ready for everyday
communication. It has a vocabulary of about 2500.
You can easily double that number by making verbs
and adjectives from existing nouns. I guess that
a real language must have a vocabulary of at least
10,000 words.
