There's a person who signs his/her posts "iisem" who occasionally posts to the list. Mostly, though, s/he appears to stay in lurk mode.

Yes, indeed, very nice! One of several Uighur-inspired conscripts out there (you can't knock good source material). It reminds me very much of the script of a conlang called Ai Chaan Syaa, the brainchild of a now long-lost email correspondent of mine. I wish I could remember his name. He joined the Conlang list about the same time as I did (lo these many years ago), but never posted much, and soon dropped off the list, or went into permanent lurk mode. Ai Chaan Syaa was pretty and highly original conlang, with three genders (Solid, Liquid, and Air, I think) and complex verb conjugations involving discontinuous morphemes. One distinctive feature I remember is that yes/no questions were marked by voicing all of the voiceless consonants in the sentence! Matt.
