[hey this is the other translator] Villaingang April 15, 2017

[Hey, I tried to get in touch with you on twitter (@bishop_church), but I don't think that's the best place to discuss things anyways. I appriciate that you're eager to get underway, translating the Book of Kek into Kekish, but I have to ask that you hold off for a little while- or at least be prepared to make massive revisions in the iminant future. I also saw that you had added many terms to the Lexicon and I was reluctant to remove them, but they did not meet three necessary criteria: 1) They did not match established standard Kekish spelling conventions (which have not been posted to the page yet). 2) They did not match established morphological traits (most of which have not been posted to the page yet. 3) They were not derived from historical Iranian sources (Proto-Iranian, Old Iranian, Modern Persian, Pashto, Kurdish, etc.), and therefore do not have historical or etymological basis. This third point alone is enough to reject any new words that do not meet that expectation, as it is my intention that a significant portion of the Kekish lexicon be contructed from historically acurate terms, using a consistent pattern of sound changes.

Over the past several weeks, I have added large amounts in the way of inflection, syntax, and vocabulary, but have done all this offline (ergo, it's not published on the page yet); having established grammatical rules such as these is an absolute necessity to any potential translation. Give me a week to put all that I have in the way of grammar onto the site (which is no small amount) and then you can begin your translation without having massive inconsistencies with future updated features.] Durelzo (talk) 13:57, April 16, 2017 (UTC)
