Talk:Klyros Language/Vocabulary

I thought I would open this discussion to allow communication like on the other Klyran page. -bguy

Words

I'm thinking most single-ideographic words should be one syllable long, two max. I also think there should be a big diversity among the words so they take advantage of all the letters and all 11 vowels (a, e, i, o, u, aa, ee, ii, oo, uu, and '). Should there be other guide lines and are these good enough to declare guidelines? -bguy

I also agree on one syllable MUST be prefered. Otherwise we are to have transliterations that can be interpreted too many ways with too many senses. As for diversity you will soon find that as you add more and more ideograms, pronouncing diversity will vanish anyway so there is not much sense in trying to increase diversity now. --Grigori 17:56, 20 May 2009 (PDT)

Konos formation

For every language many words, particularly nouns share the same root. For example "brother" and "brotherhood", "payer", "payee" and "payment". There must be distinguishing between them inside class of konos. The only way I see to do it is to develop further suffixes. For now it is "sin" (-er) and "san" (ee) only. I think we should add more for naming nouns that somehow relate to the ksin that is the root. For example, a tool that was used for doing the action, a one who assisted the action, for one who opposed the action and so on. --Grigori 17:56, 20 May 2009 (PDT)

Sounds reasonable, but the Klyros Language is also an adaptive and flexible one, so too many additions like this might might it to inflexible. Also, I don't think it should be a carbon copy of Common, so that it has its own uniqueness in most sections. Personally I thought that sin, san, and the lack of them would be enough for the most part, but if you can think of one or two more very useful ones, I wouldn't disagree. -bguy

Vocabulary itself

I think after describing ideograms we shall at last have transliteration vocabulary at the end of the page. But it is much of work that should be done while no change of ideograms (except draws). So we must all agree on that stage of work to start. --Grigori 17:56, 20 May 2009 (PDT)
