<p>I sympathise with Glenn when he mentions that Verdurian words from
terrestrial languages lurk waiting to spring out on the unsuspecting
learner . . . given that I know French and some Latin, and have dabbled
in Russian and (shame!) Esperanto, learning Verdurian is like wandering
down the street in an obscure and unknown part of town, only to find many
different (and seperate) friends i haven't seen in ages all eating in a
restaurant together!
<p>I think I can speak for most board patrons when I say I found the insight
into Kazakhstan quite fascinating . . . I wonder if Russian in Kazakhstan
has been much influenced by Kazakh at all . . .
<p>well i really have an awful lot of work to do so I'll go now . . .
<p>cheers,
<br>Chris

<p>I've always had a soft spot for Russian... what I regret now is not
going deeper and using Slavic roots instead of Russian words. (An example
is <b>voitec</b> 'enter', which I treated as a morpheme, but derives
of course from 'go' + 'in'.
