Well, in these latter days I'm fluent enough to speak it
at moderate conversational speed. Occasionally tripping
over my own tongue. But I've always basically carried
Hermetic "in my head." Any written notes on the grammar
and vocabulary are fragmentary, and at least 20 or 25
years old.

Thank you! That's interesting, friends of mine have
sometimes remarked that the native script (which is
called "mna Thiposo") looks to them something like
Arabic.

I'm reading aloud chapter 25, "Mna Catholano." Toward
the end of the work.
