Hi, Sylvia,

I just looked at the dictionary. I like the format. I found the use of
very general case-unidentified pronouns interesting, it
reminded me of Jack's preference for general forms in Tokcir.
It seems the tilde-n is used to indicate agentive roles, is this right?

Fascinating patterns, I felt lost in a maze after a while. Does one come
to recognize the patterns or does it take a verbal description like,
"goes over , under , around" to read easily? It seems the "twists only"
rule for information carrying allows so much variation in the visual
pattern it's almost a code. These put me in mind of the topology of
knots and I once heard that Mayans or Aztecs would use knots to store
numbers etc. A change of color from letter to letter would make
for legibility, but maybe that's the opposite of what you want.

Amaya has many problems which the authors frankly discuss, and they fix
them pretty fast. It's mainly designed to test standards and is pretty
much out of sync. with commercial browsers. As far as I know though,
it's the only way to currently read and write math on the web. The web
page I put up is my very first and I did it with vi, ftp, and Amaya,
although I have HTML-kit and Composer and Microsoft's whatever on
my machine; I have so much to learn it's daunting.

going now to check out the Kelen main page,

Jerry
