Swadesh list contains words which are already present in lexicon

Open ItzShiney opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Swadesh list should not contain the words which are already present in lexicon, or at least should ask if it should. The thing can be implemented in two ways

  • Every word which is already in lexicon is being removed from the opened Swadesh list
  • The list in its current state is saved in the conlang file

The second way is better since it does not require local language to be English and, for example, a language can have you (pl.) constructed of you (sg.) by adding plural suffix, so it won't be present in lexicon as a separate word, but if the thing is implemented the first way then the list would contain you (pl.) every time you open it
