Hi,

Thanks for the positive feedback on Niuspi and the 'U Trau' project. This
music commission is the first time I have ventured into the new language
area - I knew nothing of the conlang scene. Niuspi has stabilised so quickly
and feels so right I'm going to stick with it and try to develop it as far
as I can. I am writing other texts which I will set for choirs in the
future. And maybe some of the 200 who will be singing 'U Trau' on the 20th
will even want to join in taking it further.

Yes, I think it's the combination of the continual strong/weak stresses plus
the many particles that are part and parcel of the isolating way of doing
things. But Glosa was an excellent logical base to build from - I would have
had trouble getting Niuspi up and running without it.

Well, back to packing again!

Cheers,

Chris
