There are three basic ways to create a new word:

​1) Compound. Stick two existing words together. If both are nouns and reasonably short, you can use "se" in between. If either word is canon, your new compound will be semi-canon. Example: "Lotlom".

2) Derivation. Take an existing word and change some part of it, making a related meaning. If your starting material is canon, the new word will be semi-canon. Example: "Dey".

3) Invention. Make up a plausible-sounding word from thin air. Be sure to obey writing conventions, and don't go too close to existing words. All words made this way are non-canon. Example: "Naav".

You should learn Dovahzul, I made one word I don't know Dovahzul, I just look at objects then go to the translator and see if it's a word, it's usually not.
