i started reading this list and realized that one of my conlangs that i
stopped working on before i joined this list (i stopped working on it
becuase i thought it was too simplistic and didn't sound good, but now
that i look at it again, i really like it... i don't know how i could
have thought it didn't sound good) violates quite a few of them: 2, 3, 6,
9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 30, 31, 32, 34, 37, 38, 39, and 43...
that's *19* of them! i'm gonna have to find the rest of my notes about
it and put it on my web site! oh yeah, the name of the language is
'kasano'.
