Sure, but it'll be a while. Egyptian is easily the hardest language I've ever tackled. One thing I find especially fascinating is its seemingly illogical constructions. My conlangs, at least, tend to be extremely logical, and the natlangs I most like are, too (Arabic, Japanese, Swahili). It's refreshing and challenging to encounter a language that does things differently!
