Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

In Aneimd:

klur - adj. broad and flat
rurul - adj. broad for its size and tall for its size; all-encompassing

I didn't know my roundabout manners of speaking would cause such a ruckus. The Nextussians are still disappointed that the next poster hasn't a word for "multicolored; two-colored."
