Re: Prime number analogs in sketchbook project

This project has intrigued me to the point of de-lurking.  How do you derive
the two/three syllable words from so many roots?  Is it a creative process,
or is it morphological?  In otherwords, in the project I'm working on, the
roots "ya- kah + eraj -sa" evolve into the single word "qiraca", vowels stand
for the equivalent IPA symbols (except for the roundedness in u and o, which
are unrounded), j = voiced Postalveolar Fricative, e.g. z in azure; c =
unvoiced j, or sh in sheets, and q is the voiced velar fricative.  I'm using
shoebox to put a process to the morphological changes I want.  Are you doa
similar thing to derive words, or are you inventing new words a priori,
defining them with previous words?  Also, I'd suggest "dream" as either noun
or verb as your next goal.

Well, I guess this is something of an "I'm back" as well.  I was active on
the list about a year ago, with a now dead language called Tit'xka.  I since
lost interest in the language, mostly because speaking it is so dang
difficult.  I think, with the language I'm developing now, I will be using a
right to left cursive script.  I might also make a left to right variant, to
make a font easier to work with.  No name for the language yet, no real words
yet, but I'll generate some real quick to give a sample text.

Kanganet, den xisen
I think therefore I am

Root morphemes are as follows:
kah + gan -et, den kah + esen
I-know-Perf, therefore I-am
I am knowing, therefore I am
I think therefore I am.
