  Whoa...  Man, how did you even *think* of this?

 The Babel text, actually...that and thinking about Ancient Egypt, where they
*did* make bricks by hand.

  That's pretty interesting.  It also means that suffixes can be recycled--in other
  words, the suffix /-'ea/ (oh: what's the apostrophe for?)

 mostly for the benefit of the person reading or writing...distinguishing
between, say, "the Faroe Islands" and "Far'oe", for example.


  do is combine with a subject.  [Man, have you ever taken any formal semantics?

   I took English classes in Elementary School; does that count?
   :)


  Then, there are other questions, like "Why is 'volcano' a suffix and not 'clay'?", but those
  can be saved for another time.

    because you can erupt, but you can't clay.  :)


  read them (i.e., they're changed into strange characters).  Instead, it might behoove you
  to learn X-SAMPA, the explanation of which can be found here:

   oi vey...that again.

  Anyway, man, you've got some really wild ideas.  How did you think this stuff up?

  boredom, in part.
