"SCLEW it"
For the LangTime Studio fans out there, I'm sure you recall when Engála's 1pl pronoun ended up being we (/we/). From this, they coined the word SCLEW: serendipitous convergent linguistic evolution ("we"). So do any of you have moments like this from your langs?

CT’s 3SG pronoun is hé due to historical accident.
CC’s 1SG is i.

Re: "SCLEW it"
I just made Yoshó's word for "child," and thought, "hey, I could derive a diminutive morpheme from this." Not only did the diminutive morpheme end up being almost identical to Mandarin's, which is believed to be derived from the same source, (Mandarin uses -r; this one was -(a)r), but I had already made a diminutive, which was the exact same morpheme, derived from a whole other source (*hīsparū "small"). I was ... bemused.
