Henrik Theiling's Qthyn|gai language might also suffice.
Now that you name it -- I think I agree. :-) I usually don't try to classify and just say it's a 'personal language', but it's definitely engineered in a non-natural way, while not being a loglang and definitely no auxlang. Then by the same reasoning, my Tyl Sjok belongs to that category, I think. **Henrik PS: Qthyn|gai: http://www.theiling.de/conlang/s7/ Tyl Sjok: http://www.theiling.de/conlang/s2/
