Fantasy Constructed Languages Part 7: Parts of speech - verbs (Part 2)

To do this, I have my list of Fairy sounds, my organized 55 basic swadesh verbs, and already created and organized into related Fairy nouns. Also unseen, I have a spreadsheet with my existing words open put into alphabetical order so that I can make sure I haven't already used the word that I will create.

Most of my focus goes into making the first syllable of each word. I pick an initial sound, check my current word list so that I'm aware of other words that might be similar. Once I have the first syllable, either vowel-consonant or consonant-vowel, the rest of the word is made just by looking at my sounds.

I then say the word with the other noun words to make sure they are somewhat in harmony.

I'll do the first 28 verbs in this post and then the 2nd half 27 in the next post.

Total Words in Fairy Language

To the 139 words that we made in the two prior posts, we have now added 28 important words, which brings our total Fairy words to 167 important basic Fairy words.

The next post I need to add the 2nd half of the verbs.
