Nice! Any plan to bring him up here? ;)

I empathize. I have difficulties enough with a single computer 
installation. I can only imagine what it is to have more :( .

Nice! I wonder how a Teonaht speaker would view the concept of 
philosophical language, what categories he would make, what grammatical 
features he would deeem necessary or not, etc... :))

Quite a lot it seems ;)) . New names never cease to appear, so much that I 
cannot follow them. Moreover, the last year has been rather chaotic for me, 
so I haven't been following Conlang as closely as I used to (between losing 
my former job at the University, staying a few months unemployed, and 
finally finding a nice but busy job that I've been in for now eight months, 
I haven't had much time for conlanging :(( ). But now that things have 
settled a bit, I have a bit more time to use on Conlang ;)) .

It's good to have you back Sally! I hope you can stay here for good now! :)

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
