Lexicon Building

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

There are no elephants in my conworld, so I'll compromise by making up words denoting a 'large animal' and an 'animal for riding'.

1. mrillôani; large animal; simply the augmentative of 'mrilli', meaning 'animal' - /mrɪlːˈoːanɪ/
2. nginyild; ridden animal form hunting; a worn down pronunciation of 'ngōinyillt', meaning 'hunting' - /ˈŋɪɲɪld/
3. ngōinyillt; — || —; archaic form of 'nginyild' - /ˈŋoːɪɲɪlːt/
4. hwald; ridden animal for transport; from the verb 'hwaltā', meaning 'to go' - /ʍald/
5. hwaltillt; — || —; archaic form of 'hwald' - /ˈʍaltɪlːt/
6. wanôan; something big; stem duplication of augmentative affix '-ôan-' - /wanˈoːan/

Next word: to stay awake; to be up; not to sleep
