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 second 27 verbs in this post. I made the first 28 verbs in the last post.
