Oligosynthesis Project

The Oligosynthesis Project is a collaborative experiment to create an oligosynthetic conlang. This language has a limited number of roots (400) all of which have a basic verbal meaning. To participate in the project, look at the roots, the phonology, the morphological rules and the syntax and then do one of the following

1. Give a meaning some of the words in the vocabulary
2. Propose phonological processes
3. Derive new forms of words using existing moprhological rules.
4. Propose a new morphological rule
5. Propose syntactical rules
6. Create Example Sentences
7. Speculate on the concultural background (maybe part of the League of Lost Languages?

Some of these steps are dependent on enough people having contributed via the other steps.

There are two important don'ts

1. Don't create new roots. This is the Oligosynthesis Project after all.
2. Don't contradict previous contributions
