Re: OT: Defining words and how they are used

Used to be a major hobby of mine.. Once sat down and copied the
some 300 or so examples Attican greek .

Wish I still had my notes and books, but lost them when I moved
last time.. One of those grab what I can carry on my back and
move.

But got into calligraphy and illumination from it and other
forms of art.

But also got into German, father was special forces and spoke
Spanish, German and Russian. But also via JRR Tokien got into
languages and linguistics and conlangs..

Does lead to a subject of sorts.

How to express you conlang? Anyone here do Congraphy/Conscript?
Or what do you call a script that you create for your conlang?

I used to do my own variety of Tengwar (Tolkien).. Anyone else?

Anyone know of the Cree writing system, and its Eskimo
derivitive.(sp).

(sp) = spelling error/confusion, mental spell checker is not
working at this moment.
