Very nice! I too loved it so much that I adopted it for one of
my own language projects (Laranao). But I changed it so that it 
is written from left to rigth, and in the process the letters 
were turned 90 degrees to the right as well. I'm attaching a sample 
of it to this mail. (I know one shouldn't attach stuff, but it's
just a small gif-file (3K). No viruses, I promise.) Otherwise, I
think you can see it at http://hem1.passagen.se/noldo/laraex.gif.

I showed it to Måns, the keeper of Amanye Tenceli, but I think he was 
more surprised and curious why one would do that and didn't think
it was as great as I thought it was, but hey, perhaps I'm just 
more conlangy/conscripty than him. And there might be some megalomanic
tendencies of mine involved as well. :)
