Welcome to the club Thomas! Do you remember my talking about notes I had found about a conlang that I *had* to have invented (since the notes were written with my handwriting) but that I had absolutely *no* memory of doing so? :)) Since then I took my notes and revived the language (and since it seemed to have no name, I decided to call it O, the letter showing the emptiness of my mind about it ;)))) ), but still can't remember when I wrote the original notes. So you're not alone to have this strange kind of amnesia! :) Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
