No language I've ever created does: Megdevi (combination of the roots for "man" and "woman" and then the adjectiveal suffix); Gwejdr (just a name I came up with); Shali (again, just a name); Dangelis (same deal); Mbasa (another name--it'll have a meaning soon, but it won't feature the word for "language"); Fanglutsen (seaweed); Zidaan (just a name). Oh...oh wait... Shoot! Wivojs is the word for "language" in Wivojs. One of the two languages where I actually have a word for language. Oh well. 7/8 ain't bad. :) -David "s&m raSalo SirejsatIm, spAjs Zi v&TIl dZaGagzaZA." "If it keeps on rainin', the levee's going to break." --Led Zeppelin
