Congrats. You must be proud of yourself. :-)

Ahh, Ebisedian is still in its infancy. It's currently only about 220
words strong, although it has a grammar detailed enough to make one
cringe. I also compose the words manually; I feel that I *must* at least
be personally involved in each and every word in order to call it "my"
conlang. :-) Besides, every new lexicon entry is another opportunity for
me to exercise the (rather complex) inflectional system.
