Is the Historical Atlas ever going to be expanded?

Eventually, though in breadth rather than length. That is, someday there'll be an atlas for Arc?l; and I'd like to increase the size of the maps.

BE SILENT, FOOL!!

No, seriously, when the Zompster is at his quietest it usually means he's working his hardest. ross your fingers and we may get the Axunashin grammar some time soon.

An ironic thing to say when he's actually looking for work. I pray he has found a job or is close to finding one.

Ah, yes, good luck with finding a job, Mark!

Say, that IS a verb in the dictionary!

v. t. To divest of the ross, or rough, scaly surface; as, to ross bark.

So, JT, start scrapping off the rough, scaly surface of your fingers!

Good luck on jobbing, Zomp!

Languages are not my strong point and I would have the whole axunshin thing demolished to see the almeopedia one day earlier.
Also dates of new releases are a rather touchy personal subject with me because I know many young people who have killed themselves in despair at anowing when his proects will be done.

A good deal is already done; but there's lots more to do. Doing a whole continent takes time...

I'm guessing when that is about to happen, the conuniverse resets itself, kind of like the Matrix or something I'm considering for the story involving Terra Pvlchra I'm working on.

I request a snippet!!!

Hmm. Most of what's worked out so far is the dry work of biology and languages; the story elements are still being whispered by the Muse.

Here's something, though-- the list of the language families of Arc?l.

Belanaic (including the languages of Belesao, Lheisau, Maurang, Pahsau, and Moh?sou)

Linaminche, composed of Linaic on the west coast and Minche in the northeast

Kereminthic, whose heartland is Kereminth on the southern coast of Curym; it's found in Haibalai and the eastern coast of Arc?l, as well as most of the way across the Island Sea.

Uytainic (including Phoy, Uytainese, Vle?e, and Thrimese)

Mnesic, found in the southeastern tip of Arc?l plus the rift valley of Sm?

Kemic, which supplies the languages of the nomads of the central mountains and highlands, as well as the nations of Xamsan and Praxmay

Itsenic, Dnetic, and Eidnani-Kle?met', three unrelated families that share the area now known as Fananak-- except for Eidnani, which is, strangely, found on the Eidnan peninsula 4000 km to the east.

/me wants, at the very least, the pronunciations of the names of all those

JT_the_Ninja · Post by **JT_the_Ninja** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 8:16 am

/me wants, furthermore, full grammars and lexicons for all these languages.

Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes........ (and this is from memory, so it won't be an exact quote):

Calvin: If you could wish for anything in the world, what would it be?
Hobbes: A peanut-butter sandwich.
Calvin: What? Is that all? I'd wish for at least a million dollars and my own jet-plane.

(They return to the house.)

Hobbes: I got my wish.
