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.

"kin" I understand. But "sái"... Offer an origin? It sounds like a unicorn invented it. (Lit. "it speaks a quasi-unicorn invention")

Se presança na tacs èu er te dou m'argive na se triselamànide. Vessarandar ont tac ten vin aradnetant.
Creating new words is what I like more about conlanging. To fray a word until I discover its etymology.

Well, they're both women-speak particles, so their origin is more or less irrelevant. Diachronically, though, hín could derive from *[ʃ,x,χ][í,é]n([a,e,o]), and sái from *[s,ʃ]á[i,j[a,e,o]]. I don't bother with etymologies for these particles, since they would likely be recent inventions.
