Fascinating! You mind sharing with us the words?
Lúnago, my very-sketchy con-creole uses several words (I'm not sure
exactly of the forms):
Planet - Uninhabited
? - Life-bearing planet
? - No life, but terraformable
? - Has intelligent life, but no nature [people living in domes]
World - Inhabited, with nature
In my personal usage, world is inhabited, planet is not. Sun has a
world, star does not; moon orbits a world, satellite orbits a planet.
