No... How many people on this list have conlangs with initial /v/ apart from me? If I'm thinking correctly, it's not that common.

Again, if I'm thinking correctly, there was a large response to this question on language naming about 2-3 mos back -- perhaps if you see the archives for reference, because I do recall loads on the topic. As for mine, Vya:a:h is simply the combination of =vy= (one, as in #1 and not the indef.art.) and =a:a:h= (language). Hence, it means "One Language" -- as in Language #1. Regards M.E.S. PS - Congrats on the naming of your conlang, I liked the meanings of the derivatives of the name -- especially "scared tree" (vil, right?). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
