quoting Anguipes:
However, there is a new draft!

This really didn't get the attention it deserved when it appeared. (Stupid summer workload.) If I'm not mistaken this was a huge improvement over the first draft you put out, though in four months I don't remember it too well. I love the phonetic texture you produced; it's very consistent with the original roots inventory and does a good job of respecting the Tolkien influences secretly powering everything.

For numbers, I might recommend something that speaks to dorfish engineering and the love of geometry—something deeply practical with irregular-but-convenient bases like the Imperial measurement system. ... Of course, you've been gone for like a month, so who knows if you'll ever see this!
