What a fabulous idea, Matt! How many students do you have,
and can you find out if any of them have ever thought of making
a language up on their own? Or done it?
O I would love to do that here! (I especially like the wooden
wheel. This eliminates debate and disagreement, and has a game-
quality ambience to it. Just terrific.) But as I'm not a linguist, my
notions of teaching "glossopoiea" have revolved around looking
at actual inventions, starting with Hildegard, etc.
