And, again, if anybody wants to tackle some word-creation, just post it here. I'll vet it or call for more discussion, and then come up with some dictionary entries. Another method I used, due to the word-shape rules, was to go thru Urdu, Chinese, Japanese, etc. dictionaries, judging whether words that fit the Ceqli phonology should be included. I found a lot of vocabulary that way.
