LOL!! (Recalls an argument somebody made earlier, that people have very
little motivation to learn a language that sounds silly... I mean,
si-*li*... nothing like being asked to learn a language in which your name
means "absurd"!)

ROFL!!! Well, *I'm* going to start using it, whether or not it catches on.
Is it a coincidence that one of our conlang catch phrases happen to be
"magge*li*ty"? :-P

Hmm, according to the Ygyde noun/prefix tables, "maggelity" (or more
precisely, 'magelity') appears to mean "detector environment absurd
country". I'm not sure what that may mean; maybe Christophe can enlighten
us.  Or maybe it's all just li. :-P
