Re: Fickleness

I hate word creation. I tend to do the bare minimum. Sometimes I create
a couple of roots or something... I think my biggest language
(Etabnanni) somehow managed to get 200 words before I stopped work on it
because I stopped using Windows (I had it in an Access database) and
have never been able to get Kura(?), Boudewijn Rempt's program, to work
(and I'm not much of a QT/KDE-ophile so haven't really spent too much
time trying). Most other things start with the English lexicon as a base
and have oddities to the grammar, which makes one of the more
interesting things (creating irregularities through soundchanges)
impossible. But I might go off and take that auxlang that's taken up so
much of the lists' conversation recently (Ygyda?) and spice it up a bit
(Widse /wID@/, hear I come!). It has a sizable-enough lexicon already...

(Has someone already had that idea before me? I haven't paid that much
attention to the thread.)
