Speaking for myself, the best place to find a solution to this type of problems is a nice, hot bath. In general, I'm satisfied with the names of my languages, although in the case of Hattic it took me a while. The funny thing is that I completely cannot remember where my language names came from. I guess they just came to me in a dream or something. However, I am not very sure about the name for my newest language, Slovanik. It sounds a bit cheap to me and way too similar to names of other, existing languages. On the other hand, it covers the load nicely, and at least as a "working title" it is acceptable. It will probably take me some time, too, until I find the strength to take a definitive decision about it. Jan ===== "Originality is the art of concealing your source." - Franklin P.
