Eràti Dictionary |
Release: 006 | Date: 17 May 2025
Changelog
006 17 May 2025 New words- Today, long overdue, I added some more words. Nothing special, it's just been too long since I updated this.
- I added literally one word, lol 😂
- I decided to change the ‘th’ sounds to Cc and Çç.
- Site-build update: I added a button to each letter heading to return to the character navigation.
- I added some more words, still a random selection, a continuation of the previous change from yesterday (below)
- I also added the word class to each word to avoid confusion
- I added a bunch of random words I came up with.
- No rhyme or reason behind the ones I added, I just came up with them and wrote them down at some point.
- This is the first release, so no notes for now :)
- Basically this release is just me setting up the page, making it ready to have words added.
Disclaimer
Eràti is a work in progress, and I’ve never made a language before, so please be patient with me. That said, I have every intention of completing it.
Introduction
I don’t really have a plan for Eràti’s vocab. I’m basically just going to wing it and go with the flow. Will it work? Maybe. But I’m doing it with the philosophy of “just start” because if I get hung up on where to start, I’ll never actually get started. Fingers crossed! 🤞Dictionary
