Hi Jörg,

I've read your posts about your "Elves" with great interest, and I love your
idea of their being the descendents of the original pre-Celtic civilization
of the British Isles. Do you have any description or information about the
language online that I could look at, or have you got anything you could
post to CONLANG? You have really piqued my curiosity! :)
