That's probably a good idea. Back when I was developing Tirelat, I was
trying to create 8 words a day, which doesn't sound like much. But it's
easy to skip a day or two, and after a while of that, I just stopped
doing it. Translating a single sentence might require a similar number
of new words (my latest one needed 7 new words, or 11 new morphemes),
but you also need to figure out the rules of grammar as you go. So maybe
6 sentences a week would be a good goal. I could do those all on
Saturday if I end up being too busy all week....

I'd need to mark the start of each week, but that's easy enough.
