Re: how many conlangs do you know?

Azul! (That's Talossan for "hi"/"bye")

Now what's wrong with words ending in -fúk? :-)

Yeah, ditto here. I think that the reason I remember the grammar of my older
conlangs better is the simple fact that I used to have much more time for
conlanging, so I used those languages a lot more. Although I like my newer
conlangs better (as they conform to my current aesthetic sensibilities better
than  conlangs I made 10 years ago!) I have a lot less time now to work on
them, so they're not really in my head.

That would indeed be interesting. Unfortunately I lost touch with her several
years ago. You know how it often is with "college buddies" -- you hang out
while you're in the same environment, but when everybody goes their separate
ways, you fall out of touch. I have thought about that very thing, though,
and occasionally wondered if she ever turned it into something else of her
own, and what that would be like. Her other conlangs were a bit weirder than
mine :)
