I'm working on a conlang called 7erb (pronounced Verb).

It's a language of only seven (7) words in its entire vocabulary. Here's what I got so far:

- All seven words in the vocabulary are a negative. A word means "everything but that word. Words are then "stacked" to be more "anti-specific"

- 7erb is completely present-tense. Past and future are not acknowledged

- Anything in this world that can be evaluated in various ways depending upon arbitrary conditions are generally avoided in 7erb. 7erb is a language of reality, not subjectivity and opinion. There are no words in 7erb that function as adjectives

- However, vocal pitch and tonality can indicate degrees of closeness, height, intensity etc. In written form, this can be expressed with bold text, underscoring etc

If anyone is interested in developing this new language, please contact me (see my profile).
