Re: [SEARCH]: Srikanth's Lin

I've been attempting to make a "compact" language with Exian/Tech, mostly with
CVCV > CVVC type metatheses using Celtic-type consonant
palatization/labiovelarization and Germanic-type Umlaut. How did Srikanth make
his language compact, and where could I learn about this Lin? (I remember the
postings when Srikanth was here, but where did he go?)
