Re: Somewhat Off-Topic: thinking in conlangs

It did happen one time with Ilomi. I don't remember which word it was. It
just popped out and I remember mentally remarking on it at the time.

This isn't the same as a conlang word becoming a commonly-used word through
initially intentional, and later automatic, use. The Ilomi exclamation
"aya!" became and remains quite natural for me to use. But that is not much
of a stretch, admittedly.
