None of my languages are mystical languages, although i assume that
"Mother Language" would be, if i ever decided to work on it.  Like i
mentioned before, i've translated prayers into Rokbeigalmki, but never
*used* them when addressing God.  Not being a mystically-inclined person,
i wouldn't have much use for some kind of mystical theosophic language
that i would create, but not believe in.
