<p dir="ltr">Given the artistic element of conlanging, an argument could be made to<br>
use {qon} 'to record, compose', traditionally used for the writing of<br>
music or literature. An additional benefit of both {qon} and Lieven's<br>
suggestion {ren} is that you wouldn't have an apostrophe in the phrase,<br>
if there were any typographical concerns related to that.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you wanted to get really technical, you could use {qon} for the act<br>
of creating an artlang, {ren} for an engelang or planned language, and<br>
{'ogh} for conlanging in general, but I think we're looking for a single<br>
phrase here.</p>
