Just how many words are there in Verdurian? And also, though I'm less interested, Cuezi and Barakhinei?

5000+; it's the most well-developed of all the Almean languages (though my personal favorite is Elkaril).
"On that island lies the flesh and bone of the Great Charging Bear, for as long as the grass grows and water runs," he said. "Where his spirit dwells, no one can say."

Well, it's not very polite to go around saying "Oi, you, 'ow many words in your language?" is it?

Sorry, I must have skipped the chapter on online conlangers in my etiquette handbook.

A large vocabulary is impressive if it means that a lot of work has gone into the language; but quality is much more important. One reason Tolkien's languages are so satisfying is that they give the impression that every word has been carefully hand-crafted.
