I've played it, too, but at a time distant, of the deep past. Are "images of stone" your way which speaks of nostalgia?

How do your conlangs handle colour? I've been playing around with definitions and boundaries for Lilitika for some time, and have finally settled on this:

It's actually just a simple oval paintbrush ([i]khristíu[/i]); the Lilitai use their own (human) hair, so typically the bristles are very soft unless they have been specially treated beforehand.

Kinship Systems and Terminology in your Con-stuff (2014-10-31 13:17:07) :
The kinship system normally used by the Lilitai is called [i]zúsika[/i] (literally "the way of the uterus") and leans heavily on the matrilineal side, with a focus on the core mother-daughter dynamic. (Remember that the Lilitai have no men and reproduce entirely through IVF.) Perhaps frustratingly, most of these terms are of affection rather than formal pedigree jargon, giving them flexible and ambiguous meanings.
