What are you using for sources on Proto-Turkic? I think I have a copy of the Clausen dictionary of Old Turkic and the more recent Erdal grammar of Old Turkic. While it seems like that there is still a lot of foundational work to do in Turkic, the latter is certainly handy for conlanging purposes. :) On the other hand, I haven't got a better idea for a source of Proto-Turkic vocabulary than Dybo's online database: <http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=config&morpho=0&basename=\data\alt\turcet&first=1>. Still, that may be good enough for conlanging purposes, too! :) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
