I got several emails from him about a year ago -- all HTML-only, which I
have to go to unusual steps to be able to read, and these days they'd
probably just get lost in the spam folder. Only the subject "numbers" was
any indication that it wasn't the usual spam. When I finally noticed it,
his repeated "Why didn't you answer my letters?" annoyed me, so I ignored
him. Since the move, my old conlanging documents have been in a state of
disorder, and I wasn't in any mood to search through them to satisfy some
random request from someone I'd never heard of. Someday I might dig out
those old documents (I have a nice list of numbers 1-10 in various Kolagian
langs floating around somewhere, if I can find it) and put together a web
page, but I'm busy with other things at the moment.....

The numbers 1-8 in "Zircon" (the as yet unnamed Zireen fictional conlang):
i, lu, mit, pas, piti, kipi, tapi, rit.
