Re: CHAT: New to list

Nevejo!

Ah, another of those things. Where can I get one?

>Better than me. I'm reading the book right now, but "Namárië" is the sole
word
>I can remember...
Essinya Erin/Gwaeriel/Tollaquë. Ma quetalye Quenya?

>What is Kemetic?
*grins and assumes holier-than-thou look* "Ancient Egyption". They called
their land Kemet, therefore, many people use the word Kemetic to describe
their language.

that ;)) .

I'm so giddy about finding people who /aren't/ bored to suicide with my
endless ramblings about "Hey, did you realise that the reason English's
pronunciation of the plural for..."

>A non-secretive conlanger?! Yeah!!! I feel less alone suddenly! ;)))
I've never seen a reason to be secretive. Of course, that is how I got the
name Notagain... "Talking about languages? Not again!" "Talking about The X-
Files? Not again!" "Talking about HTML? Not again!"

*takes deep breath and makes note to hide Dr. Pepper*

>Exactly the opposite order as me. Making words is such a tedious job (and

pronounced and

Because natural languages rarely follow their own rules about, well,
everything, and my languages are naturalistic, that tends to be the last
thing I work on. And even if I do it first, I usually change it halfway
through...

>We want to see more!
More languages or examples of them?

>I had a PS-file about that somewhere. I could always look if I still have
it

I have three sad, poor computers. Well, two computers and one very old,
expensive word processor (a Tandy, made in about '90). And then my new one
is the Son of HAL... eh, but I digress...

>Well, people already pointed you at the Invaluable Conlang Links. You'll

Google.

*sings stupid Google song written by other geeks*

>You're welcome, and ew! ;)))
*tilts head quizzically* May I ask what these people have against my drink?

>Anyway, welcome again!
Nice to be welcomed.

>Christophe.
