Wouldn't you care to post a list once of your P1-P27, along with a short
description? I've lost track!

Let's shake hands then. A few days ago, I posted a message in which I wrote
that I perceive conlanging mainly as a visual artform, but I got a strong
impression that I was the only one. At least I'm not alone anymore.

By the way, Hals and Vermeer are written correctly. The other guy's name was
"Ruysdael" (or "Ruijsdael", but the difference between _ij_ and _y_ didn't
matter in those days).

Really? The name "Isaak" made me think that you were born Jewish. Also because
Russian seems to be the L1 of most Jews in Ukraine; my fiancée (who is from
Lviv, as you might recall) is an example. She still considers Jewry as her
nationality.
