Speaking of compound interest, today’s theme is things that grow. Thanks ConWorkShop! Rireinutire already has all the most obvious words, like compound interest (tenotenopi), deficit, inflation, and my butt. Even so, there was still space for the lexicon to grow into, even if most of the new words are compounds. Although this is actually a conscious artistic choice; there are lots of compounds in Rireinutire and there will be even more and longer compounds in the future. Now there’s an idea: I should have coined a very long compound, as a meta-example of the theme. Oh well, maybe next time.
