wow, thanks!  i always used to think that Rokbeigalmki was pretty boring;
then Sally made me re-do the glossary i sent her during the last
translation relay, since the compounds, causative forms, etc. weren't
nearly as boringly transparent as i had thought they were.

cool!  can _.lilaa_ refer to any kind of creative activity?
i always liked the different stages in the creation of Your Conlang
Formerly Known as Lego, as well as the evolution that you put it through
every so often into a different form.

the "that's so weird... is that normal?" quote is an actual pair of
sentences i said to my girlfriend once when she was describing something.
 i just like it because of the contrast between 'weird' and 'normal' and
the question of how something can be 'weird' and 'normal' at the same
time.
