Once the word is generated, the dislexicon feebly attempts to give you a definition of the word.

In case you were wondering, yes, the dislexicon did generate its own name. Check it out!

The passage of years in and of itself will cause deterioration and therefore a lost of historic authenticity unless the civic object has been preserved via a sudden event such as a sand storm, volcanic eruption, sudden inundation by the sea, complete and sudden migration or death of the occupants of the civic object. The damage of the event will lower baseline value, but the measure in this case will be 0. At the high end of the measure are highly urbanized environments where it is the practice to clear the land and rebuild rather than build over the rubble of previous cities. This is a measure of 10.

How to Create a Made Up Word (From Wikihow)

This link contains directions to create a word using phonemes, for instance, they use the word "quiz" in the intro.

How to Create a Made Up Word at WikiHow

How to Make up a Word (Recipe 1)

1. Create a list 30 concrete nouns, that is words such as tree, pick-up, carton.
2. And then create a list of 20 abstract nouns such as liberty, sadness, etc.
3. Create a list of 10 adverbs (ly) words.
4. Combine an abstract noun or adverb with a concrete noun as randomly as possible. You can drop the “ly” on the adverbs. You should end up with a list of 30 random concepts, such as a liberty tree, a sadness pick-up, a quick carton, etc. You will most likely find that you will need to fuss a bit with each of these word combinations to make them work. For instance you may need to flip the word order.
5. Pick seven (or more) of these terms and write their definitions.
6. The definition can be along the lines of an explanation for a friend rather than something you’d find in the dictionary. Feel free to use examples or tease out nuances in the concepts. These concepts are only constrained by your ability to explain them, and you should not be concerned with their real-world sense or probability. Do not worry about if they belong to a narrative.
7. In revising this list think about what a world where you list might make sense. What values are suggested in this world? What kind of people (real or imaginary) might have cause to invent or use words like this? Revise your piece to suggest these things if they seem relevant.

About The Cryptolex

The Cryptolex posts new definitions for new and old words, daily. It is inspired by the fantasy or off dictionaries of Ben Marcus (The Age of Wire & String), Ruth Krauss (A Hole is To Dig), Lewis Carroll, and Jorge Luis Borges. Where Borges might write a story proposing a new dictionary of things that exist but have not been defined, Marcus and Krauss began to work on them. Kraus defines, a party: "A party is to say how-do-you-do and shake hands." A dictionary matches definitions with short sounds and organizes them alphabetically, usually.
