No problem with that, I've created "languages" that only consist of a
couple of words, and one or two derivative suffixes, purely for the
purpose of word-borrowings, such as "tigladi'z", lady, which comes from,
I forget the name of the lang, "ghla"rijh" (/Gl&'riJ/ - J = palatal
fric).  Ti- in the W. is a gender prefix.  I can't remember exactly what
each part meant, it was a compound noun.  I think that ghl- meant "all",
-a = "above", and -rijh meant "ruler".  I just noticed a similarity
between "rijh" and "rex" - subconcious influence, maybe?  There may be a
few other borrowings from this mysterious language (I may have to change
the word, since I've decided that the Faithful Ones had never been
conquered at this stage of their language, it seems unlikely that a
title woud be borrowed from a language except thru conquest), so I went
thru the trouble of a phonology and orthography.
