I never kept that site in my bookmark file. But doing a search on
Altavista for "Mingo" only turned up that it is now a defunct site.
It *was* the EGADS project.

I who know very little, had hoped that someone more educated on the
subject, could look at the site and render their opinion.

To ME it looked alot like Klingon. Especially in the way it handled
pronouns. You know how Klingon combines the pronouns of who is acting/
who is being acted upon into one word? Mingo also does this.

Along with alot of other things, like the rule about the order that
fixes can appear in a word . Mingo seemed to have the same categories of
fixes and the same rule about where those fixes could appear in the
word.

Well, now that that link is defunct I'm sorry I mentioned it.
