    ::impressed with CG's lingua-manglin' Maggel --- head-spinnin' with its

    LMAO... if they descended directly from Pict-ish like people and were
never really "civilized" totally, I would imagine they would have some
strange aesthetics.

poet is most poetic when inventing languages. Hence the concept of the poet
as 'language designer'."  --- O. B. Hardison, Jr.
