| Notes 1 | D24/M01/Y04 - Translator here. I'm thinking of updating the lexicon to cover more broad topics. The list below shows the concepts covered so far: fire, home, air, earth, water, self/me, you, writing, book, people, town, day, night, sun, light, moon, plant, story, information, drink, food, bearer, stick, sound, man, woman, child, happiness, love, beauty, fear, sadness, family, journey, hardship, relief, sorrow, leisure, union, wanting, magic, talking, ugliness, evil, good, thought, possession, greeting, past, future, discovery, sleep, life, death, waking, need, breath, feeling, giving, telling, crying, laughing, sharing, making, taking, disliking, hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, aiming, failing, succeed, attraction, repel, understand, question |
|---|
| Notes 2 | These words are, as you may have noticed, pretty "primitive", which is largely how this language should be used. Any suggestions for a new concept can be sent to: the_ringtailed_lemur@msn.com |
