If conlangs are likened to cities, then Teonaht would be an ancient one
with lots of winding alleys, whereas Livagian would be a modern one,
forever being rebuilt on the same site (with each new phase of building
demolishing previous ones still incomplete). So as a conlanging project
Livagian is (at a stretch) decades-long, but as a language few parts
of it have so far ever been more than about five years old (tho O! would
that this would change!). Of course, to have a decades-long conlanging
project it helps to be a few decades old oneself; here Sally has a slight
edge on most of us, and I myself seem to be becoming older than average
for this list (what with most old-timers drifting away, and a perpetual
influx of frighteningly precocious 14 year olds joining us).
