Fabian did quite a bit of work collecting fonts for the conscripts
that were going on the first shirt. I think he offered the collection
to anyone who would take over, but of course he may not be in a
position to do that now. (His message should be in the archives).

I would also suggest that people should be allowed to leave out the
first part if their lexicon is not up to the task --- extinction is
perhaps not the first word you sit down to invent, although death can
be substituted as some people have already suggested --- and fight is
used in a slightly non-literal sense, no swords and guts involved.

BTW, Ray: How about Classical Latin and Koine Greek the conlangs?
