* I've made some progress with the minimalistic conlang. The preliminary syntax is mostly complete, although it could be written up better. I've assigned values to the function words and have started assigning values to the content words, despite not having finalized the set. I'm making the values somewhat mnemonic, e.g. 1X and 2X are {me} and {te}, respectively. I added {c} [tS)] and {j} [dZ)] to the onsets and {q} [X] to the codas, so there are 372 syllables total. I'm considering using H tone for words in a compound except for the last one and L tone for everything else. Finally, I've been playing with schemes for minimalizing the size of a text; the best one, I think, uses 10 bits per word (packing 4 words into 5 bytes) including a tone bit with the remaining values used for extended ASCII.

* What I haven't made progress with is my writing sample.

* I haven't been chanting as much lately and I've been sleeping more. I want to change that.
