The Blep principle

This is a principle that can be applied to the creation of unfamiliar words that still retain some form of coherence; like an uncanny valley of words. While it is a principle, it is also a phenomenon, as most probably do not realize that they are applying the principle's rules for every new words they come up with. I have not the knowledge to explain the linguistical reasoning behind this but alas, I can theorize. One of my theories is that it depends solely on the language that the new words are created from, for example standard Dwaian. For this next section, standard Dwaian will also be the main focus.

From personal observation, the pre- and suffixes most commonly used for these non-existing words are:

• -Ble
• -Blum
• -eepus
• -Na
• -Otel
• -Pe

Sometimes, whole words are formed.

• -Boomp
• -Flomp
• -Cronch (Cromch, crumch, scromch)
• -Metarotle
• -Pronk
• -Shwinge
• -Scrootel

As we can observe, most of the recorded words or sounds are all recognized within the English language; somewhere in between pronounceable and unrecognizable. good stuff, 10/10
