So Hrondu would be L1, G2, T1, C1, P3, S1 And it's weird, cause phonology is the bit I hate the most. Text corpus and lexicon grow at the same rate, for me, usually, since that's how I go about ccoining new words. The conculture I keep vacilating on -- I have a semi-historical location and raison d'etre, which allows me to borrow from Chinese a lot, but there are things I don't like about that. Script, too, I'm vacilating on. I had a way of writing it in a modified Brahmic script, but I hated it so now I'm working on a syllabary that just exists in the margins of my notebook. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Living your life is a task so difficult, it has never been attempted before.
