Aha. That's what I guessed. I did the same with my conlang
Rinya some years ago. I guess I really should change the words
for "love", etc. since it's someone else right now. :)
OTOH, David Peterson's Megdevi is still called Megdevi (AFAIK)
so I guess I could just let them be. :I
AFAICR, I just had "nice" words. No words for annoying people.
If I did the same today I know some good candidates for the
more unpleasant words. Wait a minute. I *should* incorporate
people's names into my new conlang.
::sneaks away, coming up with words to get back at those
annoying people I have to put up with:: :)
MWAHAHAHAHAAAA! ;)
I guess in daily speech a word for "sneaky bastard" is MUCH
more used than for instance "tree" or "dog" or "fish".
