No language I've ever created does: Megdevi (combination of the roots for
"man" and "woman" and then the adjectiveal suffix); Gwejdr (just a name I
came up with); Shali (again, just a name); Dangelis (same deal); Mbasa
(another name--it'll have a meaning soon, but it won't feature the word for
"language"); Fanglutsen (seaweed); Zidaan (just a name). Oh...oh wait...
Shoot! Wivojs is the word for "language" in Wivojs. One of the two
languages where I actually have a word for language. Oh well. 7/8 ain't
bad. :)
