Beginning words to create?
Hey all, I've been conlanging for a while, but whenever I create a new language I'm never quite sure where to being in creating a vocabulary after finishing the basic grammar and syntax. Is there a handy list I haven't found yet, or does anyone have a preference for their own languages? I'm not trying to say anything in particular so don't worry about focused lists. Thanks for all the help!
