    Hello again "peeps" ("I peep, you peep, we all peep into lighted
brainyboxes...")
    I have also the same sorta problems plus recent emotional problems (that
I wont go into as it has nothing to do with Conlanging or this list).
    Viivo is on major back burner (put on hold).
    I am thinking of making a different ConLang based more on what I know
better: a Topic-Comment syntax language (i.e. ASL [American Sign Language])
with Pidgin polyglot "Inglis" lexikon. (A direct inspiration is Richard
Harrison's Zengo: http://www.rick.harrison.net/langlab)
     As of yet my latest ConLang-@-large is not named.
    More info as I work it out more. If any of you like to help me find a
good polyglot dictionary or two (hard-copy [book form] is preferred as my ISP
is rather hinky & prone to disconnecting) ... Thanx in advance to those who
put some Time & Space into this Matter on my behalf...
