An early morning introduction

Well since I am actually still awake, bed did not afford me what I hoped it
would I can go ahead and answer the pre-welcome-wagon-wagon.

> Which is bigger, the info on the world, or the language?
The files and such are mostly a jumble of world and language, the files
which are expressly language take up about half a meg, but there is a good
bit of language thrown into other files which discuss aspects of the world.

Thanks!

Just to make sure I am not getting credit which goes elsewhere, I thought of
it on my own but when I initially introduced it on here I was told someone
else had come up with it prior to my listing (but I wasn't on the list when
they did, whoever you are - you rock!)

I've gone over several different possibilities including that choice but
decided to just leave it irregular. The point of the incomplete number set
is to show that it is near the number as if it were a math equation with the
~ to signify almost equal to. Making it paucal doesn't ring true to me in
this case.

Well, I've pondered for a long time putting it on there but as of now I
haven't. I want to wait until it is "complete." Yes, I know it won't ever be
complete - but I don't regard it near enough to completeness to put it up
for others to look at.

Hopefully I will continue working on it with regularity and be able to put
it up in the next few months. If you want a copy of the files, I'll zip them
and send them to you (the expressly language related namely the lexicon and
grammar notes.)
