And as my girlfriend heard of my presence on the list, she immediately
wanted to join up as well (she's conlanging for her 'specialarbete' ---
roughly equivalent to senior highschool / 2nd school exam paper; oder auf
deutsch : Facharbeit :-)

I haven't regretted it yet :-)

Sorta like Coronese, ey?


<girlfriend visionary>
 I get this picture of the troubled professional trying to make reality and
the visions of the Artist/SF-series-producer/landscape-architect come into
even close proximity with each other... *LOL*

Extract from my Coronese conlang... 'greetings' > 'gzeut'. Thus, letters are
begun by

'Gzeut os-soldid' -- i.e. greetings <PLURAL>-friend

and as one of the major feats of the lang is the enclosing 'bracket'-tags,
the letter will of course (in good style) be ended by the greeting inversed:
thus

'Os-soldid tuesk', where 'tuesk' is approximate phonological reversion of
'gzeut'.

All other bracket tags are also reversed when ended; thus 'foo - oof', 'dë -
ëd' etc.
