| Dobridenský#0579 | Those were the days, my friend.
But I am pretty sure that even today, with all the technical and other resources we have, good things take time. Some might need about twenty years to make up a conlang that is well elaborated, just like those people hundred and more years ago. | 14:37:58 |

 ChristianSi | no more w? vhat??? i'm shocked! 😮 | 15:28:34 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | Well, ellipsis might be right about this one. So far I did not use w very often anyway. So when working on the dictionary I will see if it occurs more frequently and, if so, whether it can be replaced by v.
One of the points he is surely right about is that properly pronouncing it gives many Europeans a hard time. And although it sometimes might seem so, it is not my intention to piss off everybody. 😃 | 15:32:23 |
| ChristianSi | well, like me think ... what about whiskey? | 15:35:27 |

| Dobridenský#0579 | Good thinking! I see you set the right priorities.
Well, in general I think for such proper names, w should be alright (I would also maintain the w in wasabi, for instance). But for "genuine" Ekumenski words, the w might be negligible indeed. We'll see about that.
As for "whisky" (I am rather into Scotch), it could also be replaced by this one: | 15:44:11 |

| ChristianSi | will be interesting to see whether the newspeople manage to get a more detailed statement from the orange maister | 16:01:48 |
| ChristianSi | but i'm confident that the rada's decision to sacrifice the w, which Mr. O hasn't even managed to eject from his own auxlang, will go a long way in helping to ensure further peaceful relations! | 16:09:30 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | Thank you sir! This is my hope too.
But seriously, as for the detailed statement: You know, I do not give up hope that next year Ekumenski will be ready for takeoff with the vocabulary fully elaborated - and maybe a website to present it? And then it might indeed be an interesting thing to make up some kind of interviews with the creators of conlangs such as #interjargon , #lugamun , #toki_mi , #manmino , #mešanka and di Spockli Iztilerku. In the real world this is part of my job anyway. | 16:17:06 |

 Spock#1860 | Dobridenský and you have hindustani on your side: v and w can be interchanged without making a difference. | 16:27:45 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | Ah! Koran dankon!
You know, I was wondering: When browsing through the footage I have on Hindi (while working on Duniamento) I did not get a clear picture.
So ellipsis sure has a point there. | 16:29:01 |
| Spock#1860 | In german it's ['viski:] | 16:29:02 |
| Spock#1860 | Is fuzl already ekumenskian? | 16:30:16 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | Sorry to disappoint you: This "Lonely Drunkard Finest Foozle" was made up some years ago on another occasion.
The Ekumenski word would be - not surprisingly for you as an Esperantist, I presume - rather drinkač or alkoholač. | 16:32:51 |
| Spock#1860 | Dobridenský right, you already estis skribinta tion before. | 16:34:55 |
| Spock#1860 | So Fuzl can be a brand name in Eskumenski-land :-) | 16:36:22 |
 ellipsis#3344 | in most auxlangs i reject that evil letter | 16:40:51 |
| ellipsis#3344 | but i cant imagine interjargon working wlessly | 16:41:11 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | that evil letter
That sounds like the w being the Darth Vader of letters! 😃
I would not regard w as a kind of personal enemy, though. | 16:46:00 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | One could then diminutivize it by "di fuzlka". 😃 | 16:54:14 |
| Dobridenský#0579 | * If people feel attracted to Ekumenski I hope it is for the overall design and the spirit behind it. But you will always have words some people won't like, or questions like "why did you choose X and not Y". If one listened to everybody, one would never get any system fixed. | 17:10:36 |
