Well I'm just pleased to death that Mau is female! And I see Camilla on the
list as well. Do you think the list will eventually appeal to more and more
women? What has made you invent languages, Mau?
I visited your lovely Web site. You and I have a similar interest in
animals; Teonaht originally started out as a language for my "heaven cats."
I think I mention this on my Web site, too. Check it out at:
http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/teonaht.html or
http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/whatsteo.html one of
these pages mentions the "feleonim."

I have gotten many of these negative responses, but lately the responses
have been more favorable. One of my own students started her own conlang
because she had heard about mine. Now that's something to warm the cockles
of one's heart!

I'm curious about the Alias. The Abraham Zsofia.
