This is a project to invent words in an imaginary language.
Lhaesin is a conlang, an artificial or constructed language. It is a revised version of my earlier conlang, Lhaesine.
When I say a Lhaesin word means something in English, that is my definition only. Lhaesin is a language that is not spoken in the real world. Lhaesin pronunciation of words may or may not be what you guess.
Words can be changed after they are posted. Existing posts can be modified.
