I don't know which if any of those two categories I'd put first. Recently I've been taking words mainly from non-Indo-European languages, but there are quite a few words of Indo-European origin in Eklektu that Ludireo is likely to inherit. I think the artistic category is the right place, but none of the _sub_categories really seem to fit. It's not science fiction, fantasy, historical, or a naming language. -- languages of Azir------> ---<http://www.io.com/~hmiller/lang/index.html>--- hmiller (Herman Miller) "If all Printers were determin'd not to print any @io.com email password: thing till they were sure it would offend no body, \ "Subject: teamouse" / there would be very little printed." -Ben Franklin
