Verba-bibli

Dear Glosalists,

There is no denying that bigger dictionaries in many different languages would be useful. But the idea is to keep Glosa’s vocabulary small. If one cannot find a word in the word list, put two or three Glosa words together or say what the word means.

For example: Although you may look up the word for chair in your word list, Glosa does not have a word for chair. Instead, it is called “sit-furniture.” As someone else has pointed out, my word list did not have a word for linguist, so I wrote what the word means: “language-science-person [lingua-skience-pe].” This is actually better than English because sometimes the word linguist only means “someone who knows several languages [poli-lingua-pe].”

Words for plants and animals can be taken from the Greco-Latin genus names, found in libraries or even better dictionaries in many languages.

Plu karo Glosalisti:

Es zero nega anti u-ci; ma mega verba-bibli de poli hetero lingua sio es funktio. Anti-co un idea es, tena pusi u verba lista de Glosa. Si pe ne posi detekti u verba in verba lista, face un unio de bi alo tri Glosa verba alo dice; u verba habe qo semani.

Exempla: Anti, tu posi tenta vide u verba chair in tu verba lista, Glosa ne habe mo verba chair. Vice-co id gene nima sedi-mo. Homo hetero-pe pa indika, mi verba lista ne habe u verba “linguisti”, ka-co mi pa grafo semani; u verba habe: lingua-skience-pe. U-ci es ma boni de England lingua, ka, plu hetero kron, u verba linguist simpli habe u semani “pe; qi du ski poli lingua”, u-ci es “poli-lingua-pe”.

Plu verba de fito e de zoa posi gene cepti ex Helena-Latino genus nima; ge-detekti in plu bibli-do ali klu in plu ma boni verba-bibli de poli lingua.
