Water is essential for life. Things essential for life are essential to language. Many of these words are relatives of one another, both in meaning and sound.

Semantics
Web of Mind
Heh, slight error in the pic, but so it goes. Semantic web of words associated with the mind. Most are unrelated, etymologically. I intend to change that going forward, with more words derived from the roots presented.
I could see deriving a word for Erase from Forget. Bonus points to people who figure out the Easter Egg in the word for understand.
Semantic Webs
This is a web showing relationships between the meanings of a number of words in Glaubaal. The links between them are a little arbitrary, I’ll admit, but it’s a fine way to illustrate the ways in which words which are similar semantically can also be similar phonologically. It’s also a great way to motivate me to fill in a conceptual space to cover more ground.
More semantic webs will follow as I complete them. It’s very motivating to have a large number of small goals to complete, instead of staring at all the blank space in my lexicon and feeling overwhelmed.
