Age: 22 years.  It feels *quite* odd to have students in a high school
classroom address me as "Miss Lee" since I still feel somewhat, hmm,
squirtlike.

Czevraqis: Probably near a year old, give or take a few months.  A few
words and an awful early phonology, as well as an earlier and now
discarded alphabet, existed rather earlier than that.  Triconsonantal
morphology, active case marking, and quirks (3rd person is divided into
"personal" vs. "impersonal").

Tsuhon: German-Japanese hybrid, taking vocabulary from the first,
phonology from the second, and goodness knows where I'm going to get the
grammar.  :-p  At this stage it's really only a handful of notes and a
concept, which I hope to flesh out when there's more time.  Actually,
would anyone like to suggest a source-language, and reference(s), for
grammar?  I've considered Italian but that would be evil of me.  Tsuhon
was conceived for a vague and militaristic starfaring human future...I'm
open to suggestions.
