Vorlin

I cc'd Rick Harrison on an earlier message in which I mentioned his
conlang Vorlin, and he responded briefly about its current state.
With his permission I'm forwarding it to the list.

That's accurate, though I wouldn't use the term loglang to describe
Vorlin.  Don't know the purpose of Vorlin anymore, so if someone
were to ask me its purpose or category, I would not be able to
answer.  I mainly keep it going because about a dozen people keep
encouraging/requesting that I do so.  Left to my own devices I might
have dropped it and taken up another hobby.
