Re: Development of numeral system

What medium are your conpeople using to write down the abacus numbers? Do they change to a different medium at some point? That might facilitate the transition to the vigesimal digit set

Re: Kala updates etc.

The "epigraphic" version of Omyatloko will no longer be used and is for archive purposes only. Only the "handwritten" version will be used from now on. Is it still true (as you say here ) that yatoyo does not use logograms, or has your usage changed to include them since then?

Re: Linguistic Miscellany Thread

What strategies do different languages have for expressing the senses of 'even' and 'only'? The English words are very flexible, but I'm wondering if other languages have items that perform the same function in a more restrictive way. Do they always pattern like adverbs? I'm trying to get these conc...
