Well, I haven't even settled on the spelling for my new language, so the
title which was originally

Ma(wy, jaze( rast lepsie:matu wle:bron

is now

Ma(vy, jaze( rast lepsiomatu vlobra*n

(where a* represents a-ring and the "("s are Polish hooks: Ma;vy, jaze;
rast lepsiomatu vlobrån)

I've been spending almost as much time changing the spelling back and
forth as translating sentences. I'm considering u-breve and o-breve for
the central vowels. But at least I've managed to get 2 1/2 sentences
done this week so far.
