Re: Wordless language (WAS: NonVerbal Conlang?)

One thing that strikes me as a possible other means would be the
"language" of art, or ikebana, or of dance. Possibly of non-subtitled
silent film.

But these are borderline cases of being language at all, and one could
certainly call specific gestures "words". I think it's the gestalt
aspect of it that breaks away from that. Perhaps a clue to a more
workable solution....
