I was quoting Pehrson's text (which is why I wrote it the way he
wrote it and put it in quotes, not // or []).  It doesn't matter what
it really means--just what he thought it meant.

Or does it?  Is my lexicon a posteriori if I draw all the words from
a real language, but the words are wrong?

E.g....

I created the vocab of Languomia from Spanish words, as can
be seen below:

kizan "mother" (from the Spanish word for mother "quisán")
jalu "dog" (from the Spanish word for dog "llalu")
ombre "cactus" (from the Spanish word for cactus "hombre")

Etc.
