Why thank you for your interest! Unfortunately I don't think
there will be any more work done on Seimi in the foreseeable
future. I have too many other things to attend to. So what's
on that page is what's on Seimi.
I was quite pleased with the result of the slight Scots Gaelic
taste of Seimi, though. And I like North Saami. It's clearly
related to Finnish, with its [Finnish, i.e.] clear Quenya-like phonology, yet a bit
cooler with more diphthongs and more unusual
consonants, like /D/, /T/ and /dz/. Mix it with Gaelic and you
get Seimi. I'm especially fond of the initial {Cw} clusters, like
/bw/ and /dw/ arising from an earlier /bu/ and /du/ (e.g. /"duot/ ->
/dwoT/.
