* I spent a couple days on C5, which is mostly like C2, but has a pronunciation for the logographics, and biconsonantal roots.

* Then I started Aug23, which is more conventional. It has an alphabetic orthography and drops the polysemy but retains the syntactical function inflection in the form of vowel gradation and the 10 pronoun set (the coreferential pronouns 6 and 7 are specifically relevant). Also, the word order is pragmatically determined.

* I've almost finished my schedule for Chicon 7; it uses a lot of color-coding due to the layout of the Hyatt. It was difficult getting down to only 3 program items per time slot.

Hope you have a good time at Chicon. I actually stayed at that hotel once - in 1983 it was really nice. If I had the money, I'd be going to Dragoncon in Atlanta this weekend but I'm reserving my money to go to my class reunion in October (10/13). Will let you know later if I'll be able to stay down there for more than 2 days this time.

Dragoncon is very popular, but I know more people going to Worldcon.
The Hyatt is supposed to have been refurbished recently.
