Creating a Conlang Vocabulary using an Ontological Framework

The listener asks if it is possible to create a conlang vocabulary guided by an ontological framework. They suggest using vowel and consonant patterns to represent specific meanings. They also mention the idea of an oligosynthetic language. The hosts discuss the concept and mention some conlangs that have attempted to build lexicons this way. They also reference the work of Rick Morneau on lexical semantics. They conclude that while such languages may not exist in natural languages, they are possible in conlangs.
