Isn't it another base system really hard? If you say there are 31 cats in pegakibo?, how do you know fast how many cats there are?

@ConlangFan Pegakibo is intended to be a-priori, meaning it does not originate from an existing language. That is why I chose a base 5 counting system.

31 in base 5 is 111, because it is 25 + 5 + 1.

@IndigoPenguin64 Pasta is my favorite food, how could I NOT make it? (OK, I could describe it as a hard wheat paste cooked in boiling water to become soft, but that takes too much time.)

@ConlangFan Translating the number between systems is difficult, but if you learn to recognize the size of base 5 numbers, you won't have to translate into base 10.

E.g. in "a-pe-ga-ki-bo-e the "a" and "e" at the end and the begining are not trailing a consonant. If you take two different vokals the you can use them like brackets "a"="(", "e"=")".

[sendiulo]

I would suggest to use vowels instead of the " signs: the " signs cannot be spoken, which results in a loss of information, doesnt it? As one knows that theres always consonant+vowel, if you adject another vowel to the beginning or end of a word it should be easy to recognize it as being differemt then the normal sheme.

[MASTERULEZ]

@reviver96 I generated a lonnnng list of unique words using the Pegakibo alphabet. Then I tried to make good matches between Pegakibo and English words. This meant making onomatopoeic relationships, size/vowel relationships, and compound Pegakibo words.

@Esperantanaso I'm sorry, I should've been more clear. I meant how did you decide what things would be called (i.e. gake = man; gige = chair)?
