Yes. I heard (part of) the interview. She mentioned what her
language's name for God was (sounded pretty, but I forget
what it was); and she said a sentence or two in it. Aparantly,
she was quite "into" it. She also said she no longer partakes
of this activity. She seems to have equated that period of
her life with mental or spiritual imbalance - so perhaps she
is under the mistaken notion that her sickness caused the
conlanging. Walters didn't seem too surprised about this aspect
of Heche - though maybe I missed that.
