=== Brief thoughts ===

Even if we only have 1000 roots, this enables 1m simple compounds, of which we'd need perhaps 50k to cover relatively simple meanings, and 1b three-element compounds, which would be more than enough to cover everything in any dictionary. (And realistically, many ideas would be better expressed through longer compounds.) So surely 1000 is more than enough.

One could work backwards. 300 roots would be enough for 90k simple compounds and 27m three-element ones. Still plenty.  300 roots could be formed through 10 consonants and 3 vowels (CVC). Of course, there's absolutely no redundancy then, so probably not great for communication.



=== Chats with ChatGPT ===

* A [[chat on 23/11/23]] about REL for both adjectives and relative phrases, about comitative, and about God.
* A [[chat about sensing verbs]].
* A [[chat about principles for choosing between a root or a compound]]
