First off, I'm really busy these days. Interestingly, though,
after two or three days not reading the list, I come up with
this particular message.

Does sound like a COMpany, or a COMmercial group (oh, no offense intended :), which reminds me of Viacom, a firm specialised in dubbed versions of TV series (in Brazil).

A couple of years ago, I was brainstorming names for conlangs. 'Ílico' (stress on the first |i|) was one of them. I don't remember the other names, but they have been safely written on a piece of paper... Hmm... which I don't seem to remember where I put/hid... Anyway, it would be the language spoken on a island, in the Kingdom of Parseconia (whose currency are Parsekronen ;). I had almost forgotten it... -Walter (a.k.a "Parsec")
