Re: linguistic "flavours" (was Re: Missing Words)

Siyo!
Kropja has little more than a phonology and
experimenting with noun and verb forms, but I know
what I want it to taste like.  I want it to be a very
fancy pastry of the Eastern European sort, like
linzertorte or kolacki (okay, the second isn't fancy
but I like it) or the like, with lots of layers of
icing and pastry and fruit all different but all
combining well, with the expectation that it is to be
consumed in a proper coffee house in Vienna or Prague
or Budapest with a very fancy coffee drink, eaten very
slowly over discourse in philosophy or literature.
