You misinterpret!!!! There is an old Conlang T-shirt project that you may not be familiar with, namely, to translate the phrase "Fight Language Death: Invent a Language!" and put it on a T-shirt. That was eventually done (and there was much rejoicing!), and provided inspiration for our Wiley Oriental Gentleman to give it a GomiLego spin. To wit: " GomiLego is a futuristic polyglot-lexifier creole "mesolect"/"mixed language." Some of the _main_ contributing polyglot-lexifiers are English; various Romance languages like Italian, French, Spanish; Sanskrit; German; Dutch; Japanese; "Romanized" Chinese; ISV (International Scientific Vocabulary) Greco-Latin roots and "technocultural" slang. Like many creoles, much of GomiLego's lexemes are highly "mutated" from the original lexemes. " To the various "Romance languages" he could add my own Kerno, which has contributed the GomiLego word 'riipong' (<repong) meaning fix up. I consider it a solemn honour when a fellow conlanger sees fit to borrow one my poor language's words into his own. Kerno itself is a voracious borrower, saver, salvager, recoverer, scavenger and recycler - but is restricted to taking only from langauges (constructed or real) that inhabit its alternate history timeline. I'm not sure if GomiLego is *there* or not.
