Lilitika unfortunately has some of the most tedious fruit and vegetable names imaginable; they mostly boil down to a colour + a part of plant anatomy, like galotúze (yellow-leg/root) for potato, or bosekhrona (rich ovum/fruit.) The history of this is somewhat worth noting; prior to the Exodus they had no control over their food at all, and were fed a slurry of mixed plants of questionable nutritive value, since the native life on the planet was biochemically incompatible. The discovery of the so...

I don't particularly care about the typology of the conlang. I'd be okay with something very analytic or something very synthetic, something with many affixes or something with a lot of root compounding, something with European-style standard negation (a single invariable particle before or after the verb) or something with a more exotic kind of standard negation, say, negative inflectional affixes that have a different tense system from that of positive (non-negative) verbs (cf. Mandarin bu4 an...

[quote]<Slereah__> Let's make the #isharia conlang
<Slereah__> We will call it... isharian[/quote]
Is there any interest in making a collablang? It seems like it has never been tried in this community.
We were talking about it for a little bit, and a few people seemed interested, but without making a huge commitment to it. Which is very fair of course, collablang threads tend to move very fast.
I just hoped I'd have better luck making a collablang here......

On words, lexicons and etymologies :
Sometimes —perhaps too often— I don't find enough interesting ideas or meanings to create new words for my conlang's lexicons. While I have protolanguages (and proto-roots) for my most developed conlangs, there are occasions where I just can't derive a word from a proto-root for whatever reason; for example:
• The proto-root has been exploited too much.
• The proto-root gives too ugly or bland words.
• I just don't want to play with p...
