It seems that at the very least Padraic doesn't read Conlang,
and possibly others too. Personally, I only skim the topics
and read whatever appears interesting or useful.

|Imbligare|. Pretty bland. I think I'm going to keep this
word for "to imply".

|Criscer| is my all-purpose word for "to become, turn into".

Permūtāre.
Speaking of which, what's the etymology of |rzusa
sus'ciewier|? I assume |rzusa| is somehow connected to
French "réussir", though I have no idea where that comes
from... and |succezer| [suk'ke:z@r] is a bit too dry for
my taste.

|Muoner, muondra| ['mu@n@r 'mund@r] means "duty, job, chore".
I also have |pindsun| ['pindz@] "task, duty, share of work,
pensum". Furthermore, I have |proveissone| [prAves'so:n]
"profession, trade", with the interesting spin-off word
|proeftire, provissu| [praf'ti:r prA'viss] "claim to be, pass
as; come out". I also consider importing |bruofe| ['bru@f]
from German "Beruf" (Swiss German [pru@f]), with the
connotation of "full-time job" as opposed to serving at the
student café two evenings per week.
