Shluvetz! Èv èra miadre vâl!

In other words, yes, I used to be quite into constructed languages, and I have a considerable lexicon of the language eloin sitting in the back of a battered exercise book. I also blame it on Tolkien, although he only gave stamina to something I'd already been doing beforehand poorly (I love false alphabets and codes, and often make notes in IPA to deceive casual observers). These days, however, I've kind of drifted away from it, although I do still use the word "doi" (dwaa) now and then.
