This happens to me, too, every so often. I'm perfectly satisfied with what my language looks and sounds like, but then there's this other feature that is really cool and wonderful, and well... So, I add dialects, sister languages, daughter languages, even mother and aunt and second-cousin twice removed languages. They don't always get completely fleshed out, but I know they are there, and sometimes it is fun to have one borrow words from the others. -- Sylvia Sotomayor sylvia1@ix.netcom.com Kélen can be found at http://users.lmi.net/sylvia/Kelen/kelen.html "In the beginning was the word.
