Lexicon

This is a partial list* of complex glyph combinations (words) and their meanings and usages, searchable via the text bar below. The search looks for each word as a substring of one of the fields, and will display a word if it finds a match for all of your search terms. So, the search results all match all of your search terms, and you're searching everything to do with each word at once. The search is not case-sensitive.

*As below, many combinations and compounds are not listed. That's not to say that this list is incomplete; combined with appropriate combinations and compounds, every glyph on the examples page is included in this list.

Glyph combinations

Some combinations of glyphs are predictable and likely follow a set pattern if not listed in the lexicon:

• Many + X = Many X
• Stones + X = Collection of X
• Island + X = X place
• Time + X = X time
• Male/Female + X = X person
• No + X = Not X
• Self + X = Self X
• Monarch + X = Royal X
• Etc.

Glyphs will sometimes compound (add together, excluding simple combinations like above). There is no way to distinguish this by inspection from an inseparable complex glyph combination; if it's not in the lexicon below, a glyph might be a compound. Compounds will usually be of the forms:

• Noun + Noun = Noun describes Noun (order is ambiguous)
• Noun + Adj = Adj describes Noun
• Verb + Adv = Adv describes Verb

Lexical patterns

There are a few notable trends in the formation of the glyphs below.

• Many common descriptors are metaphorical:
  • Rain usually means subdued, or similar.
  • Lake often refers to body.
  • Light can mean loud, and dark can mean quiet.
  • Etc.
• There is no glyph for 'person', and thus any glyph combination involving people will decline by gender. The exception is if a glyph has both Male and Female in it, where it will naturally be gender-neutral.
• Generalising the above, some glyphs come in pairs, where two simple glyphs exist for a concept; complexes of these glyphs will form pairs 'declined' by the simple pair, except when a complex contains both simple glyphs. Declension may include
  • As above, gender
  • Distance (for travelling)
  • Specificity (for instance, time and war)
