I think we should naturalize Conilingua. The vocabulary doesn't seem to fit together as well as it should, so we should come up with a process to naturalise the language.

Yes. Until then, we necropost random translations and such. Oh and we add new words.

Based on the last 3 posts, I suggest just restarting. When something has as many “broken windows” as this does, it helps to restart.

A good thing would be a set syllable structure. The OP doesn't mention one (except CCCCVCCCCC, but I digress). Something simple like (C)(Fricative)(V)(C) would be best. Don't do something like (C)V, it ends up with long words that have too many syllables (eg ne.ha.ko.to/nehakoto (random thing, not a real word in any language except by mistake), simple in concept but it's quite long). Some interesting variation should be allowed. While (C)V(C) is nice and simple, it's a bit boring- words are like “cat”, “na”, “fe.pet”- but add some liquids or fricatives, and it's much more interesting ((C)(F)V(C) here)- “ap.fsit” or “tsar”.

Alright, I'll do that. I'll just kinda edit the words to make them feel more natural and less completely stolen. Thinking about something like (C)(F)V(L)(C)

Posting something on a topic a long time after the last post. This is generally unapproved, but not disallowed.
