I have several of my obscure web projects hosted by the same hosting company and the sonayagema dot org site is consistently the most frequently viewed one....
... We need to get more done here. I got sidelined a few months ago when an elderly friend I was helping out suddenly got sick and died. Anyway, we should...
... Steve, I agree that you have the ability to write a proper text. Are you sure you want to put that much effort into a conlang that might not attract (m)any...
... I'm not sure how many have seen _Understanding Loglan_, either--though I did use it as my project for my M.A., and I was paid for its publication in _La ...
Hi, New member here. I'll confess right away that I'm not really interested in Sona *as a language*: what I like is the fact that it has only 375 semantic...
... I'd try to avoid them, though in some cases they may fill in gaps. As far as possible, I'll try to present canonical Sona. Perhaps I could have an appendix...
... I suspect that more are needed, but we haven't had enough experience to know for sure. ... Not that I know of. Searight started with Roget and combined...
... It sounds to me like you are attempting to construct a system that can pass the Turing Test. Best wishes. :-) Although I am probably one of the few here...
... Thanks for the suggestions. But I think I'll avoid auI! The Dutton Speedwords and the Dublex 400 are helpful. I'll probably try to cross-tabulate them and...
... Bear in mind that Roget wasn't God. He's a useful starting point, that's all. Various people have based projects on his list. There was Oz back in the...
... You mean somebody besides me has actually heard of Oz?!? (I have seen the book, and as I recall, without checking, it was in the 1930s, although that is...
... I think it was in the late 20s, but I haven't checked either. I did try at one point to match the samples he gave to the Roget categories; it would've let...
... A strong argument for Roget is that his classification has stood the test of time with few modifications, and is based on ideas going back to Leibniz and...
Several months ago I announced that I would, basically, pay people to write short poems in Sona: 10 US dollars per haiku and $15 per tanka. I had a total of...
... I had intended to enter, but I was taking care of a sick friend at that point (he died at the end of April), and I just wasn't up to it. I hope that you'll...
... Steve, condolences on the loss of your friend. ... Looking forward to seeing that. You/we might be forced to invent a few new things or clarify some...
At this point I'm only aware of 3 tiny changes I would want to make to Sona. First I would like to define _ua_ more clearly and make it just like Japanese wa,...
As a general principle one ought to stick with Searight's book, as he presumably thought a lot about Sona before publishing. One of the main problems with...
... Wait a damn minute, you said you were not "interested in Sona as a language," which I took to mean that you do not intend to learn and use Sona. If that's...
... I'm confused. To begin with, I don't think Rick invoked Yahoo's Terms of Service at any point; he merely asked (however "explosively") how it was that ...
... [snipped] ... I am hoping not to provoke another explosion meddling in right with the first posting... I would also stay as close to the original as ...
... I'm very conservative in this matter for two reasons: First, I've seen enough proposals to "improve" Esperanto or whatever else to know that many of them ...
