That is what I was afraid of... I, personally, don't see any plausible
solution. I don't think somebody can expand Tolkien's product. To make some
reconstructions? It may work, but different people may come to different
solutions, and this is Not Good. An, anyway, those reconstructions do not
fill all the necessary gaps to make the lang workable.

Thank you, Larry! I don't think I'm too much interested in it - its
principles do not correspond much with my glottopoietic aesthetics... But
you are doing a good job, indeed!

Cheers,
