igékbl

igékbl is a fictional term used in speculative fiction and game design to denote a centralized linguistic knowledge base focused on verbs. In these works, igékbl is described as a universal repository that aggregates verb lemmas, conjugation paradigms, tense and aspect systems, voice and mood phenomena, and cross-linguistic mappings to support computational analysis and narrative dialogue generation.

Within the fiction, igékbl is sometimes presented as an acronym derived from phrases such as Verb and Inflection Knowledge Base Library, or as a backronym tied to the history of multiple fictional language families. In other depictions, it is portrayed as a long-running, interstellar or inter-institutional project that survived political shifts and technological changes, evolving its governance and data structures over time.

Entries in igékbl are language-tagged and include fields for lemma, part of speech, conjugation tables, irregularities, syntactic valency, example sentences, and semantic notes. The resource is typically versioned, with provenance metadata and an editorial process that combines crowd contributions with expert validation. Some settings emphasize open collaboration, while others feature centralized control to maintain consistency across worlds.

Applications in fiction include natural language generation for non-player characters, language-learning tools for readers or players, and research simulations that explore how verbal systems influence culture and power. igékbl also serves as a narrative device to examine data curation, linguistic diversity, and the ethics of centralized knowledge.

In the real world, igékbl does not exist; it functions as a world-building device. It may be compared loosely to real linguistic databases, but it remains a fictional construct used to explore language and technology in storytelling.
