Issytra (not the goddess, but an elderly scholar named for the goddess) is
my "amanuensis"; she does all my "translating" for me in Conlang Relay
Games.  Therefore if she gets something wrong, I can blame it on her.  <G>
Arais Aijjy is my seventeenth century commentator, who comments on the old
pagan holy books in Teonaht.  I've been meaning for a while to get my list
of gods up for you... promised years ago, but tempus fuit.  As for my old
signature, "Niffodyr twelyenrem lis teuim an," that comes from "The Gospel
of Bastet," a section of which I've got up on this page:

I don't know if I ever called attention to this. I've been slowly working on
a list of the other gods and some of their stories.
Which is why when I first met up with Paul Burgess, I told him he HAD to
join Conlang!!

David "The Grey Wizard" Bell speaks of himself as a kind of
anthropologist/linguist who has uncovered the language of Amman-Iar on the
basis of some old manuscripts he found in Amman.
