​

Language Hub

• Create a new language — opens the language setup form where you choose a name and a base writing system type.
• Open an existing language — navigates into that language’s full editing environment.
• Delete a language — removes the language and all its associated glyphs, words, and syllable rules from the local database.

​

Glyph Editor

• Vector drawing canvas — draw glyphs using a Konva-backed raster canvas with shape primitives (Shape) organized into named Layer objects. Each layer tracks its own shapes array, visibility, and lock state.
• Character mapping — every glyph is bound to a specific character it represents and a Unicode code point. This mapping is what the font compiler uses to assign glyphs to the correct positions in the .ttf file.
• SVG path export — when a glyph drawing session is finalized, the canvas content is serialized to an SVG path string. This path is later passed directly to the font compiler.
• Layers panel — manage multiple drawing layers per glyph, toggle visibility, and lock layers to prevent accidental edits while refining details on another layer.

export interface Shape {
  id: string;
  type: string;
  stroke?: string;
  strokeWidth?: number;
  opacity?: number;
  x?: number;
  y?: number;
  points?: number[];
  width?: number;
  height?: number;
  radius?: number;
  fill?: string | null;
  data?: string;
}

export interface Layer {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  visible: boolean;
  locked: boolean;
  shapes: Shape[];
}

Lexicon Manager

export interface Word extends Omit<Entidad, "id"> {
  id: number;
  lema: string;
  palabraOriginal?: string;
  categoriaGramatical: string;
  definicion: string;
  traduccionEspanol?: string;
  genero?: string;
  notas?: string;
  svgPathData?: string;
  rawEditorData?: string;
  unicodeCode?: string;
  isNew?: boolean;
  placeholder?: boolean;
}

• lema — the canonical headword form of the word.
• categoriaGramatical — grammatical category (noun, verb, adjective, etc.).
• definicion — the in-world definition of the word.
• traduccionEspanol — a translation gloss for reference.
• genero — grammatical gender, if applicable to the language.
• notas — free-text field for etymology, usage notes, or phonology comments.

​

Syllable Rules

• Conjugation engine — apply a suffix rule to a comma-separated list of base words. Rules like -[e]s conditionally append characters based on the final letter of the stem, enabling basic morphological paradigm generation.
• Phonetic evolution simulator — apply systematic sound changes across a word list (e.g., voicing intervocalic stops: p→b, t→d, k→g), useful for deriving daughter languages or historical dialect variation from a proto-language.
