JARRAPUA a COMMON-SPEECH
An auxlang will only work to the extent that people learn and use it. But JARRAPUA is currently at a stage when there are still developmental tasks. While the fundamentals are kind of finished, there's fine tuning probably yet to be done. Floor up redesign doesn't seem necessary but tweaking and extending are definitely possible.
1. As you can see from the fourth page of the downloadable spreadsheet, I'm still working out the details of exactly how inflection works to create new nouns. For example, is branchee (FUKAE) the thing that was not branched and then became branched (a river, road, or tree limb) or is it always the product of branching (a tributary, side road, or twig)? My decision seems to be the latter, as evidenced by the consistent use of RAKAE as "place". Should I set up two classes of verb, or adjust something so they always come out right without needing that? Other tweakable topics I can think of include whether to use single letter alternatives for dipthongs (I, O, and possibly others), provisions for non grammatical utterances such as exclamations, and a more comprehensive list of predefined biological proper nouns.
2. I provide a vocabulary list of thousands of words, specifically the original Esperanto word list, the Basic English word list and the VOA word list, all translated into JARRAPUA, often with multiple connotations. But that's just a start. More words are always needed. Please send me more words.
3. The Translations tab is just barely started. I mean to provide many translations. If you feel like translating, please send me translations.
4. There are also probably plenty of things I didn't address. These fall into two categories, I guess.
a. Issues I didn't explain because they're obvious to me, or the way they're already covered is obvious to me
but needs to be pointed out.
b. Topics I never thought of. I haven't thought of these.
Please send me suggestions in those categories.
5. Presentation criticism is also welcome.
