Telofy As reply to your comment on my Gene Wolfe list:
Thanks, I like that concept. Only I think it comes pretty close to how I've decided the words to enter my list. Words I didn't know were in immediately because they were interesting just for their novelty. Then there are those words, which I would have known if they had been employed somewhat differently. In some cases I neglected to copy out the context so that their interesting senses are then lost on me after a few weeks. But there are also words like veil which I knew and which are perfectly commonplace but which in that context sounded so gentle and light that I needed to note it down as well. I don't know if that is an intrinsic property of that word and I'm moreover entirely unsure whether or not anyone else would find that remarkable, but in that situation it forced me to ameliorate my Wordie sheet with it. Later, when I enter the words into Wordie, it's a rather mechanic process where I'm so overwhelmed by the masses of words I wrote down that I seldom rethink my selections.
Yet with Gene Wolfe who creates his own recondite neologisms by building upon ancient, foreign, and ancient and foreign words it would also be of interest to have list exclusively of words of his own creation. It's one of my plans for that list to draw some kind of distinction there, so I could move all other words to my Utilitarian lists for example. Perhaps I'll write a script for that for I don't have much time parallel to studying... Jan 3, 2009
ofravens Oh, thank you very much for the comment and the mention, Prolagus! I appreciate it. I just now added kerwollops of the heart. :) Aug 18, 2008
