There is a full grammar and dictionary, as PDFs, which are downloadable
from the site and could be sent as an email.  Plus I have a fair number
of texts in Alurhsa that are not of a private nature, both translations
and original material.

It has a large vocabulary, the grammar is not terribly difficult if
you're used to Indo-European and agglutinative languages (it has
elements of both), it has a lot of nuance and flexibility available in
word meanings and verb tenses, and contrary to rumor it is
pronounceable.  And the numerous diacritics, although not a pretty
system of romanization, are actually functional (although one *could*
learn the script and use that too, of course!).
