        Hi Theodore, and welcome to the list (even if many other people already
welcomed you :) ).

        I am also interested primarily in artlangs (I have currently 7 projects
in being :) ) like most people in this list, so you will find yourself
very well here.

        I've just taken a look at your webpage. About Abibin, I like it very
much! Especially the OVS order and the different meanings of the cases
depending on the position of the noun before of after the verb. The
script is also very good. I remember also that when I was in Junior High
School, I tried to make a conlang with the smallest phonological
inventory possible. It had only four consonnants (/k/, /f/, /s/, /m/)
and four vowels (/a/, /i/, /o/, /u/) but the grammar I developped
happened to be impractical. Maybe one day I'll ressucitate it :) .

        About Agryziexabieuie (what a name!), I long to see more about it. I
find the script very beautiful and the goals you have very promising
(and not too far from my personal language Chasma"o"cho, even if its
primary goal is to be disturbing). Anyway, feel free to post more about
it when you want.

        Anyway, welcome again. As we say in French: "Plus on est de fous, plus
on rit".
