Hope you get well right away (but if you don't, a writer can always use the
experience, right?). I'm out of it most of the time, even when I think I'm
in it.

I started conlanging sometime before age 20, but not 'in earnest' until
after. When I joined this list I hoped to learn more linguistics, but so

ObConlang: I want to improve the phonological description of my conlang,
but am still not clear about some terminology. Anybody want to help?
