Lingvo is the word the whole project is built around, since Esperanto calls itself an internacia lingvo. Plural and accusative stack in that order, giving lingvojn, which is a tidy first test of the two endings together. The root also yields lingva (linguistic) and samlingvano, somebody who shares your language.
