Typing "conlang" into the search screen at http://www.m-w.com
(the Merriam-Webster online dictionary) comes up with three
candidates: "Ch'ien-Lung", "cymling", and (bizarrely) "zoom lens".
Who is "Ch'ien-Lung" (pinyin Jian-Lung)? Emperor of China 1736-96,
of course. And what is a "cymling"? A type of squash also known
as a "pattypan". Of course.
Hmm.
