The Steienzh cognates of these would be _laissezenn_ and _ laisselejenn_. But
these forms could only be ancient compounds, and I doubt such forms would see
enough use to remain in living usuage. Modern Steienzh coinages would be
analytic; _zazenn/zalejenn ke laisten_ "construction/creation of languages".

Can't off-hand say what we'd get in the other Klaishic languages. Telenzh
might have _lest-zelànt_, but I'll have to look a littel more on its treatment
of compounds for I can tell for sure. _Zazente lestens_ should work in
Searixina (AKA Tsárizh), but that's of course no compound; it's simply an
gerundial phrase "constructing languages".

None of my other conlangs appear to be up to the task ATM. I've never been
good at creating vocabulary.

But hey, _geaseomas_ "word-creating" should word in Meghean! Especially as
Meghean tends to use _gean_ "words" synecdochically for "language". This means
you're all _geaseomearan_; from now on, you've all got the right to wear a
little badge reading _seeo geaseomear_! :)

PS Which, of course, means "I am a word-creator". Pronuciation;
[Se'jo ,dZa'Somjar]. _Gea-seomear-an_ is of course pl "word-creator-s".
