Re: Rosetta Stone idea

If a couple of people wanted to get together and to the Rosetta Stone
activity, I'd be willing to participate in that, too.  I even have a
suitable passage full of proper names to use as the starting place.

This got me thinking of another project: Construct The Proto-Lang.  I have
a cluster of three languages all descended from a common source, and I've
always wondered if the proto-language I have designed is actually
reconstructible from the daughter languages.  So if anyone else has a
similar cluster of related languages, I'd love to do a swap and each see
if we could analyze each other's languages.  They wouldn't need to be
fully developed (mine aren't), as I think we'd probably just do word-lists
and maybe some morphology and see what the other person comes up with.

Any takers?
