Oh yeah, it is interesting.
But memorizing it is difficult.
I have of course finished the alphabet so all I gotta do is lexicon.
The long... arduous task of Lexicon.
I really need like- a list of the 100 most used words in all language.
Also-
Of alternative color schemes.

Did he die?
Also.... Can you link me to some of it?
And dang it! Now i wanna bring her into the fg but shes already been there so id have to kinda reset it but most of the characters there havent met her but im playing kareena right now and i have to save her for the rp so i will!
Ha!
Because lets just face it.... Kareenas the queeen of the fg
@Hil: I'm not saying stop all together or anything, just that like anything moderation is key so it doesn't become weird.
@Olive: Yeah, isn't it something like 90% of English speech is comprised of the same 300 words?
@Lunar: CAN I?!
He is not dead, no, but he is not currently with the group.
I'll link you his first appearance, where he is now, and him working on a restaurant with Aven.
Kareena looks fitting in my mental image of her on the disney throne, characters bowing before her, an innocent grin on her face.
@Daisy: I would prefer to explain such things in character.

HK's first appearance, in my first plot.
HK in my plot, he's in the second paragraph.
@Olive: Mm. Lexemes and whatnot.

I have at least gotten a fair idea for how words are built.
If it's a concept that is above them, it ends with a certain letter-
If it's on an equal plane to them it ends with a different letter-
And of course- if its' something considered below it ends with a different letter.
Like-
Outside-Son: Teht-Jeyt (Outside of a clan is considered to be 'beneath' the family, and a son would be a generation below you.)
Blood-Sister: Louhm-Heym (Blood is something you share- suggesting equality, and a Sister is in the same generation as you so on an equal footing)
Clan-Father: Kaehv-Jeyv. (The clan is above the individual, as is the Father being a generation above)

1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postWhat do you mean?
I have a sounds-system for different letters-
As in, when it comes to writing there's a base letter- and the sound it makes is produced by a horizontal line through the top (high sound), middle (middle sound) or bottom (low sound).
So I'm probably going to use that as well in constructing words.
There is a lot of compounding yeah, like in German. But instead of just straight-together, its' use of hyphens.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post@Lunar: well, if you want to, go for it
No particular rush to decide though, you have time to think if you need it.
@Olive: Well what I mean is
A common rule in languages is that words are constructed with a root and affixes. So in the word untranslatable, "translate" is a free root, -able is a derivational suffix and un- is an inflectional prefix. In other languages, affixes contain even more information, such as in verbs, they might indicate the object, the subject, the tense, the location, adverbial, etc.
Compounding is a different process but yeah, German is rather heavy on it.
What did you have in mind when writing the alphabet in terms of how the letters look?
