gin?

Some months ago I began working on a pidgin of Curco, the
main descendent of Northern Drasel=E9q, and Ciravesu, the
language of an empire north of there. I even created the
settlement for it -- a dictator who deported half the=20
population of a Curco-speaking territory into his own
lands in Ciravesu-speaking territory. But it turned out
that I first have to derive enough Curco words from
Drasel=E9q, and create more Ciravesu words, and *then*
I can begin making a pidgin out of them :)
