The only such thing I can recall is that I read somewhere (don't remember
where, don't remember who wrote it) that some very devoted ERB fans had
made just such an attempt. This must have been at least 12-15 years ago. I
remember researching the matter then, trying to find the source of the
statement, but questions on various Internet lists did not get me
anywhere. In fact, it is possible that what you remember is actually one
of my posts asking about this, if you and I happened to be members of the
same groups back then.
Here is a Usenet thread on the subject, although it does not seem to
answer your question:

Looks well done; I especially like the sets of functions you're merging into
single cases. But there is a point of analysis I don't understand:

>umkutu-me 'God-POSS-NOM'
That's a very odd process. Why would an ordinary transitive clause such as
"Fred eats rice(.ABS)" come to be cast as "a possession of Fred eats
rice(-0)"? (Presumably his mouth, in this case?) That makes the
'underlying' subject less human / empathisable / ...; usually languages want
to arrange that their subjects are as human / empathisable / ... as possible.
(The same thing reflected in the direction of the hierarchy for split
ergativity: proper names make for very nàtural subjects, and so they're only
given nonzero marking if they're in the uncommon transitive object position.)
Moreover, if the marking in this case is the possessive, isn't it a more
straightforward analysis to say that the possessive case, not the
nominative, is used for these subjects? Why synchronically consider it a
form of the nominative? Quirky case is a phenomenon that exists; the fact
that the verb remains transitive doesn't automatically imply that its
subject has to be a nominative.

It also occurs to me that in many languages [h] is permitted only
before a vowel, so a consonant cluster that BEGAN with <h> could only
be seen as a digraph. Teonaht does this, at least with <ht> => [T].

I actually have that one. It has numerous typos in the conversation part,
but the vocabularies in the first part are pretty good as I recall.

For realism in war games the team playing the aggressor uses Esperanto
as their foreign language so the defenders can't understand them.
That's my guess anyway.

And that's exactly right. It was an experiment on the part of the US
military at one point to have the "foreign" side in practice speak
something other than English so it would be realistic, and Esperanto was
the easiest option, and the one least likely to imply we were targeting
some particular country as the enemy and planning an attack on them
specificly.

Gary is correct. When playing war games, the US Army calls
the other side "Aggressor." To provide some realism, it's
better for the other side to speak a language other than
English. But using a natlang would take too long to teach
a large number of soldiers, and choosing a particular natlang
would imply that countries speaking that language were
enemies of the USA. So back in the early 1960s, someone
hit on the idea of using Esperanto for this purpose. I believe
the Army gave it up by 1970.

Wow! The store is closed!! There was quite a demand; I guess I should have
realized that.
In any case, I will notify those who "won" individually. And it's on a first-
come, first served basis.
I am very happy to share these books with those who have an interest. I
dreaded throwing them in the trash.

Good! I'll be opening up a similar shop here in the next while -- hopefully
I'll have as much success at it!
Throwing books in the trash!? We are lucky to have a couple large used
book shops hereabouts where just about anything between two covers can
be happily sold to someone else who will treasure them.

That sounds like a pretty awesome idea.
I think, based on what I could find in the Kash materials, that "get well
soon" would be something close to:
endo haçukavan huluñ krat huluñ
endo ha-çukavan huluñ_krat_huluñ
OPT 2s-recover as_fast_as_possible
Does anyone know more about Kash? Does that look right?

7a. Conscript bits for a new logo
Posted by: "George Corley" [email protected]

I've had an idea for new album art for Conlangery that will include a cloud
of various conscripts. If you would like a chance to be part of it,
translate "Conlangery" into your language and send it, in the native script
to [email protected] along with the name of the language, phonetic
transcription and gloss. If your conlang's script was created from scratch
or otherwise includes characters not available in standard Unicode fonts,
please attach a black-and-white image of the script.
Thanks,
George Alston Corley

Do you want a meaning translation, or a transcription?
If the former, what exactly does âConlangeryâ mean? Wiktionary lists four
senses of the -ery suffix: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ery
I suppose both âcraft of language constructionâ or âplace of language
constructionâ could make sense.
