I've been looking up new words and their roots, I wanted to find the root for volapukajxo, meaning "nonsense" or "gibberish" and I couldn't find it, All I found was "Volapük" so I looked it up on Wikipedia.
Turns out it was another conlang from the same era.
..harsh.
It would be like if Linux had an error message saying "Kernel BSDed".
q.t., etc

@emacsen [in case this came across as a "your thing sucks", perhaps i should clarify that i think esperanto and volapük are both cool, even if neither succeeds very well at their intended goal of being easy to learn for everyone]
esperanto
@emacsen I think some other languages is it to describe a bad sound or something.
esperanto
@emacsen in retaliation i am coining a new volapük word lesperantik, meaning "having too many consonant clusters for its intended purpose"
