Always glad to be of help.

Incidentally, I've discovered that certain pages missing from the
current site, linked above, remain on the _old_ site at
http://www.fortunecity.com/rivendell/everquest/624/

These include the page on the script, and the dictionaries.  I've
emailed Brad about this, and he's going to put them up on the
geocities site where appropriate.  He also says thet he's been
systematically rewriting the grammar, and should be able to begin
updating soon.  Of course, _soon_ can be a somewhat elastic term, but
it's good to know that the language is not dead.
