*grin* That's what I love about the internet--we get answers when sending questions into the void!
Your language creation was one of the things that drew me in back when I was a but a wee language creator myself. The fact that a book used other languages was something I had only rarely seen before, and usually in the case of "Elves speaking Elvish, Dwarves speaking Dwarvish, Men speaking Mannish." I was quite happy to get the language here because they added a world that actually seemed big, like you were seeing only a small part of it and other things were happening elsewhere, and elsewhere was a long way off, and that it could take endless exploration to see it all. It's still one of my favorite worldbuilding examples for that reason.
Glad you like it! I was really excited to do this project. It's been loads of fun, so thank you for the character!
