Re: How to write down a language design?

Yes, that's the problem with some grammars. What I also hate are cryptic
abbreviations for whatsoever for parts of speech or so with no explanation
at the beginning. Another thing which I think to be a good feature in a
conlang grammar is to breakdown the morphemes and to write what that would
mean in the language your grammar is mainly written in (I write my grammars
in English, while my native language is German), first word-by-word and then
what it *really* means, sensible translated. My two conlangs' grammars
definitely lack examples, but I've still got to create many many words. OK -
I think for the future it's better I coin words for the examples and write
them down into the dictionary (I prefer having an excel chart for this) for
later use.

So far,
Carsten
