For a word to be represented in SamSka, it needs to have cognates with the same meaning in two or more of the source languages. When cognates are present in all three languages but due to semantic drift no common meanings, then a cognate word will not be present in SamSka. Where a word has cognates with multiple meanings in all three languages, only the meanings that are shared will be in the canonical definition of the SamSka cognate. | For a word to be represented in SamSka, it needs to have cognates with the same meaning in two or more of the source languages.

The form of words is determined by the ''Etymological Prototype'', using a prototyping scheme inspired by [[Interlingua]]. It is also close to the method used by Ivar Aarsen when developing Nynorsk, which he called "the most perfect form" <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nynorsk</ref> (''den fuldkomneste Form'') This means the form of SamSka words tend to be relatively close to the original common source of the word in the Scandinavian languages (be that Old Norse, Middle Low German or French). Where the form of the etymological prototype is ambiguous or debatable SamSka allows variant forms. For example the adjective '''tykk''' /tʏkː/ (thick, fat) has an alternative form of '''tjukk''' /ʧʊkː/. | The form of words is determined by the ''Etymological Prototype'', using a prototyping scheme inspired by [[Interlingua]].
