Proposing a word
The dictionary grows at the Ledger Desk, and anyone who has passed the licensing exam can propose a word.
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| na | Proposed: open for comment for fourteen nights |
| ka | In the dictionary, credited to whoever coined it |
| kha | Struck: not taken, kept readable with the reason |
| sokha | Unlisted: slang anyone may use, shown in grey |
| Piece | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -nu | one who | som-nu, dreamer |
| -n (after a vowel), -in (after a consonant) | place | ri-n, door; rem-in, hospital |
| re- | back, again, against | re-so, revise |
| -ka | kept, full of | ro-ka, love (heart kept) |
| -kha | struck, without | so-kha, unlisted |
| doubling | small, repeated or intense | nu-nu, child |
| compounds | describing word first | so-rin, book (list door) |
A new word must sound like Somka: syllables of a consonant and a vowel, with at most one consonant after, from the eight consonants and five vowels, and never ending a syllable on the catch. The proposal form checks this for you, and checks that the word is not too close to an existing word or to a rude or sacred word in another language.
