I'm having a hard time nailing down the language -- by which I mean the various "other" words that are necessary -- for this book. Frustrating, because that's usually the easiest bit.

Using your foreign language dictionaries? Seems like a logical place to start.

Been there done that. The sounds are wrong given what else has been learned, decided.

Language shouldn't be nailed down, it should be free to evolve. Like English, not like French...

(~English doesn't so much borrow words from other languages as chase them down dark alleyways and mug them for new words...~)
