Boudewijn, you have my deepest sympathy. While writing a scene in my novel I
came to a place where I was showing a Tvern An ceremony which is critical to
the novel and suddenly relalized that I didn't have Tvern El vocabulary for
the concepts to be expressed in the ritual. I've done the same thing now
with an Alleliawulian ceremony. Weaving conlangs into your text can be
troublesome if rewarding. No wonder most writers don't bother or make up
gibberish. Keep the standard high! Don't give up! And I hope your more
successful in maintaining your pace than I am!
Adam
So lift the cup of joy and take a big drink.
In spite of it all it's a beautiful world.
