At last I found ten minutes to look at the site. Fascinating! A rare occasion of a Semitic conlang! Unfortunately, I cannot guess the adstratum origin. Can you tell us a few more words about this project here or in a closer company of West Asian Conalngs Workshop (at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/westasianconlangs/ )? In particular, I'm interested in the origin of its regularity (which always makes me suspicious) and the vocabulary: I understand that "saprutum" is a regular formation from "saprum", but why to avoid a Common Semitic "lisanum"? Anyway, nice job! Yitzik ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
