Re: CHAT: Newbie introduction

PS:
I've forgotten to mention my con-langing history.  I started my
first language in middle-school (after a reading of Tolkein).  I was
entranced not so much by the languages themselves, but the very idea
of creating a new language!  I sketched out a few simple languages,
but looking back (I found the notes recently) they weren't anything
spectacular, variants of latin (with a few new cases/numbers/genders/etc.)
I dropped it for a while until highschool when I cajoled my friend into
assisting me in creating a new conlang.  (So I actually had someone to
talk to in it!)  Unfortunately he missed the point and prefered a code
for English.  (But I snuck in complexity and depth in the hidden derivational
morphology of some of the words.)  It was a bit exotic in that it did have
a click.   And one word that I remember:
        Lolila*
(with an alveolar click at the end)
which was a censure meaning something like 'you are babbling'.  But it could
be delivered in a most irritating fashion :-)

Anyway, I digress.  I've conlanged off and on over the years, rarely sticking
with one language.  I did spend a fair amount of time on Dozhun (it used
to be called Govun, but I got annoyed with the sound of the language, so a
vast universal sound-shift occurred.)

The transcription used in the square-brackets in the Dozhun lexicon is
supposed to be IPA in the SILIPA font, but I think it got lost in translation
to rtf, so what appears is probably just the meaningless underlying letters
of the IPA font.  I should probably fix that.

Constentin:
Your site looks very much like my notebook in spirit.  I carried a small
notebook when I went on a trip last winter and had lots of spare
time, so I filled it up with a language-fragment/idea per page...
My web-page is just a transfer of the easy-to-html segments.  (The
languages with too many phonemes didn't make it to the web, nor did
any of the con-scripts.)

Wright:
But, Wright, by the beard of Paul, by what foul method did you ferret out
my frumpled feelings for your postings?  Believe me, by no means do I mean
to offend, frighten, or fill you with fugacious frisson of vexation.
My conlanguage is just a farrago of friable phrases and not meant to
infuriate.  I fear I am a bit prolix about this, but fear not, I from
this day forward I (me) do hereby forswear bilabials and even labiodentals,
so you need to fulminate further, fair friend.
(joke! (not funny? (fair enough.)))

Thanks for the welcome(s), and for tolerating this verbiage.
