    This document outlines guidelines for selecting words for the constructed language Lidepla from two pools of source languages. It involves five steps: 1) Use compounds if half of Pool 1 languages use them. Otherwise, 2) select forms similar across the Western European languages, or the Indian Ocean languages. 3) Discard long/complex forms from Pool 1 and select the shortest. 4) Repeat step 3 with Pool 2, then select 3-syllable forms. 5) Seek solutions outside the source languages if no words remain.

    Word Selection
    Step 1
    If half or more of Pool 1 uses a compound, then
    create a compound within Lidepla. Otherwise,
    proceed to Step 2.
    Step 2
    a If all languages in the Western European
    Subpool (allowing one exception) and at
    least one other language from Pool 1 use
    similar forms for the same concept, select
    this form. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2b.
    b Repeat Step 2a with the Indian Ocean
    Subpool. Otherwise, proceed to Step 3.
    Step 3
    Discard all forms from Pool 1 which are longer
    than two syllables, have three consecutive
    consonants, or do not fit into Lidepla. Select the
    shortest remaining form. If there are no
    remaining forms, proceed to Step 4.
    Step 4
    a Repeat Step 3 with Pool 2. If there are no
    remaining forms, proceed to Step 4b.
    b Select all forms from Pool 1 and Pool 2
    which are three syllables. Discard all forms
    which do not fit into Lidepla. Select the
    remaining form with the least consonant
    clusters. If there are no remaining forms,
    proceed to Step 5.
    Step 5
    Seek a solution outside the source languages.
