Verbs

This post will set up the actual creation of the verbs. First I list the 55 Swadesh verbs. Then I go back to the 2nd post and take all of the nouns and try to match them with whatever verb that I might relate the fairy word with. 

I'm doing this for two main reasons and one good possible result.
  1. I want to see how the words look near the verbs, to see how they will sound. I forgot many of these nouns that I made up several months ago. This reduces the brain strain to try analyzing sufficiency of the sounds.
  2. I want to see if any of the words might contain a root word, pattern, common sound, or something I can reuse in order to quicken creation.
  3. A side effect of doing this might be creating a set of sounds that is more unified and consistent.
