Well, I really like the kind of languages games you mention. But the problem is, that you really need a highly-developed language to do this kind of things. With Hattic and Askaic both numbering ca. 1400 words, and Wenedyk ca. 800 (today; tomorrow that might be different), these languages are not ready yet. AFAIK there are not many conlangs with more than, say, 5000 words. Jan ===== "Originality is the art of concealing your source." - Franklin P.
