My first real attempt was a never named project begun when I was
13.  It utilized a vaguely Indic looking syllabary.  In many ways
it was a better project than anything else I generated for another
4 years.  I still have it somewhere but couldn't begin to tell you
where.  I feel under the spell of Latin and produced some models
of Latinate clones for a while.  Finally, frustrated with an effort to
create a language called Idisa, I invented a simple language
call Nga Sari Tasa'ma, "the secret language of me".  I still
have the notebook with about 1100 words of vocabulary, several pages
texts including poetry and a brief grammatical sketch.  I will
never do anything else with it, buts its phonology influenced
my recent Feorran project and several words of its vocabulary
have found there way in there as well.
