Which quickly retracts to Ygde in order to not have to feel the blade ;))) .

Well, I only saw what Arthaey showed on Conlang. I'm not on Langmaker2. But the
definition fits Maggelity well too :) .

I especially like letters which, in order to make sense, are to be taken as
part of two digraphs at the same time, so that you actually have digraphs
coalescing in the orthography ;)) .

I tend to write it in English to mean "someone whose job is to criticise". I
think it's common in British use too?

Well, I know *that* difference. But I always thought that the Dada movement was
just the early first step of post-modernism...

Well, I haven't much to say so far, except that it's impressive how much work
you already put into it :)) . And I really like to see Maggelity or near-
Maggelity emerge from perfectly sound sound changes (it makes me think that
Maggel may actually be plausible ;)))) ).
