Vasilevskij Year Began 1923 Site Universal Broken Link No Site Language English Language Type international auxiliary language Uniqueness The most characteristic feature of Universal is its use of inversion to create antonyms: mega `big, great' -> gema `small' donu `give' -> nodu `receive' za `the' -> az `a(n)' tela `far, distant' -> leta `near, close' Indeed, this is so characteristic that "one of its creators suggested in jest that it should be called Inversal".
