>What does it mean for an artificial language to be "logical"?
A language whose grammar and usually phonology are complete, accurate, and work for every situation. There is no guessing, and there are no irregular words. There are no exceptions. Such languages aren't fun in any way. Sturnan's main ambiguity is /g/ versus /Z/. There is also a bit in verb conjugation and some unexplored sandhi. (For that last, I know that /im kem tun/ doesn't work very well, so I make it /in ken tun/. Other than that, I don't know.)
