It only implies that an act of devising is complete, a grammatical distinction only. It doesn't imply that the product of that devising is complete or not due for amendments.

<div>All of this implies that the formation of the language is complete. I’d personally be more attracted to {-lI’} than {-pu’}, so long as the vocabulary continues to expand and the grammar continues to surprise us (less frequently, but it happens).</div>

Would "constructed language (conlang)" in Klingon be *Hol 'oghlu'bogh*?<br>
<br>
<br>
I'd understand it but I would personally put a perfective suffix in<br>
there: {Hol 'oghlu'pu'bogh} or even {Hol 'oghlu'ta'bogh}.<br>

I agree with the above, but would like the add the thought that just<br>
like in English, there is a difference between an invented language and<br>
a constructed one. So an alternative might be {Hol chenmoHlu'ta'bogh}.<br>
<br>
Not a big difference, just a suggestion.<br>
