What I basically did was take grammars of foreign languages -- I'd get guides from the library -- and simplify them so I could easily use them for naming. I concentrated on things like possessives, locatives, and other constructions of that type. Then I'd make a big list of words I need, used a foreign language dictionary, and then screwed with the words there so they weren't identical. I was a big fan of using Grimm's Law to shift the consonants around.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-66979563141437539622008-07-04T14:35:00.000-04:002008-07-04T14:35:00.000-04:00You invented your own languages . . . this is inte...You invented your own languages . . . this is interesting.
