Coding 2025-11-17
So, I made some progress. I got ninja bootstrapped to build itself, and it should work on the evolution rules I wrote, but I haven't tested this. I ended up needing to handle regenerating the proto-language lexicon in not the way I was envisioning, which is fine. I've updated the documentation to reflect the new phonology and syllable structure. I haven't fixed the generation code; I instead just used vibes to translate its output into something that fits with the new structure. I added nonce forms directly to the lexicon to take up the new phonemes in different positions, and I'll figure out what they mean when I feel the inspiration or I really need a new root.
I'm on track to follow with the prompts, although I am getting kind of antsy to explore the grammatical features that got me motivated in the first place. Looks like I'll be moving towards that in a few weeks.
For now, I want to wrap things up, and rest after going through the mental effort of stuff like "Remembering how my wrapper around my wrapper around Google's wrapper around Ninja works".
Good night.
