I can only agree with the majority.  I've been picking and nudging Obrenje's
feeble body of grammar to and fro in the past few months, but I've only
created enough vocabulary to write sample sentences to illustrate the grammar.  I
find word creation exceedingly tedious.

I used to love the grammar building process, but lately I've grown more and
more uncomfortable with my case system.  I'm currently contemplating a total
overhaul.  It's giving me headaches.

However, I really liked creating the script.  I now have two TrueType fonts,
Obrenje Bookhand and Obrenje Calligraphy, which both look quite pleasant.  I
built them more or less a priori, but later found out that Tolkien's script
had lots of features in common -- right down to the identical shape and
function of the vowel carrier (which I called the void consonant).
