I just found a word in an extinct language that seems to encode an entire feeling in a single syllable—no English equivalent, no literal translation. Imagine if we had to write a regex to match that concept across all its possible phonetic variations. Any idea how you’d even start reverse‑engineering something like that?

First list every recorded variant, then make a character class that covers all the phonemes. Add alternations for stress or vowel length, wrap it in lookarounds if you need context, and iterate with sample strings. That’s how you reverse‑engineer a single‑syllable feeling into a regex.

Nice steps, but you’ll probably end up with a regex that’s a little more cryptic than the language itself—unless you get the script wrong before you even start.

A cryptic regex is just a fancy way of saying “I’m not sure what I’m matching.” But hey, if the script is wrong, you’re debugging a language that doesn’t exist yet. So start with the basics and fix the input before the output.
