Another "inventing languages backwards" bullshit project.

I'd say that Aba'abe project is pretty much done for the first stage and I will return to it someday later, but meanwhile, followers, I present to you a different idea.

What if we did something similar, with a pre-generated onomasticon of sorts, but:

The words are longer.

There's some semblance of orthography, but no defined phonology.

We must assign meanings to words and then break down the morphology.

Say we have a word "Ansendir". We could give it a definition: "Oxbow lake". Now, we say that it's not just one morpheme, but three: "Ans", "en", "dir", which together (in some combination) mean (literally) "crescent-shaped lake".

WIP name for this right now is gonna be just that, Ansendir, and the only reference point will be an Awkwords setting preset (see under cut) and this post on @444namesplus. I will open a free-to-edit document if people seem interested enough.

k/n/s/h/r/g/l/m/w/f/p/v/b/t/d/z

n/r((r)i/u)

CV(N)/(C)VN

The [S] subpattern defines a singular syllable, so to generate a two-syllable word just put "SS" in the pattern field on the revived Awkwords site.

If I make a suggestion for Ansendir, being able to tell at a glance which syllables in the syllable dictionary have already been given a monosyllable word wit definition would be a nice QoL.

I think a simple formatting notation, like underlining syllables that have been given a monosyllable word, would be a good, or at-least straight forward, way of doing this.

I like that, gotta do it right about now.

We're having such amazing additions to the Ansendir project.

I love the ma/me particles and the whole thing someone got going with the person semantics (person, man, woman, genderless-someone, child, stranger, et.c.).
