Cool, I can read it fairly well. Good job, Jack, I like it, it is
well-written, IMO, and has a nice flow. I'm impressed by how much you
can do with the Ogden set (although I must say, some of those Ogden
set morphemes are ones I have not often encountered! :-) ). There a
few passages with which I have some difficulty, I'll work over those
some more and come to those later. Just to comment now, I object to
{volef} on the groups that there is an existing morpheme, {lupi},
which means "wolf". However, if you really have your heart set on
{volef} I could be persuaded to drop my objection to a change of
{lupi} to {volef}.
Naesverig,
Stephen

Thank you. Well, Ogden claimed you could express any idea in that set of
meanings, and he was close to right.

The "card-reading" scene was an attempt at portraying glossolalia in NGL,
it's not supposed to be grammatical. As for the rest, comments are
appreciated since I'm still revising chapters 2 and 3.

I like volef better, and since I don't want to do a massive
search-and-replace I'll leave it as-is for the moment, but I officially
relegate {volef} to dialect status.
