As a Lovecraft amateur, I've always wondered whether the pieces of languages he gave were meaningless sequences of letters or if he had worked a little on it. Probably we can never know the truth :( . Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr Take your life as a movie: do not let anybody else play the leading role.
