    Well, it took me three months to create my first, with a 100 page
lexicon.  And if I can do it, anybody can do it.

<<It seems to me that the design of the lexicon (a posterior vs. a priori,
representation of languages in a posteriori auxlangs, at sight readability,
ease of learning, cultural neutrality etc.) is far more important in an
auxlang than in an artlang.>>

    And I didn't intend these to be actual, full-fleshed languages, just
sketches, ideas--for the purposes of the contest, at least.  Where they go
from there, and where they came from is the business of the author.  I think
it's more than feasible to come up with the idea for an auxilliary language
in a month or two.  But, such as my opinion.  At least one other person
agrees with me, thus far.  But, I'm at the beginning of the list...
