It seems to happent to many of us... those first attempts to conlang, in the
pre-Internet era, are at some degree lost. Nik with Tarni'f, myself with
Rithen... or Joe Mondello, and Herman Miller with their undocumented old
works.
I wonder how common has been to us, those first attemps, how valuable are
them for ourselves, are we dissapointed, are they our most beloved childs,
are they lost or put in a pedestal ???
