Buggy true, but I'd like to take the opportunity to pay (metaphorical
:) ) tribute to Jeffrey for having taken the time and trouble to write
it - langmaker.com, or someuniversity.edu/~henning as it was then :),
was my introduction to conlanging on the web, and I've been using
Langmaker ever since.  The main use I find for it is to try out new
phonologies on a broad canvas, see what they look like in practice,
and then go back and refine them.  And now that Telona (the name has
to change again, but I can't bring myself to do it just yet) has a
stable phonology for the first time in a couple of years, I expect to
use it for real lexicon-building.

Thanks Jeffrey!

Jonathan.
