Thank you for your feedback, Jim!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
One oddity is that the grapheme <y> doesn't seem to occur in either the tutorial or<br>
the reference grammar's account of Feayran orthography, so I'm not<br>
sure how to pronounce the name "Feayran" itself. Presumably it's an<br>
anglicization of a native word.<br></blockquote><div><br>Ah. I thought I had an explanation of that on the website someplace...it probably got lost in shuffling some other material. The word "Feayran" (and "feayr") are external names coined by a different culture in Feayran's conworld setting. I use them in place of the internal titles simply because "Feayran" is much easier to type than the internal name, "Laaoshte Kimoiatuaianoi."<br>

There are six texts on the website, totalling around 800 words; they<br>
have smooth English translations but no interlinear glosses. That's a<br>
respectable corpus, though not as impressive as Vabungula's or<br>
Alurhsa's.<br></blockquote><div><br>That's a splendid idea! I've added a separate page, linkable from the Translations page, which contains full glosses of the translated texts. (Currently only the two longer texts are glossed--the remaining passages will be forthcoming.) <br>

The website design is generally very visually pleasing, although I'm<br>
not fond of the choice to devote about a fourth of the screen real<br>
estate to a marginal background image. </blockquote><div><br>Ah. That's actually not supposed to be the case--the left margin should be occupied by a navigation bar, and the right margin houses a reference bar on some of the lesson pages. I suspect that the reason you weren't seeing the navbar is that you had javascript disabled; this has now been fixed.<br>

linking is a bit lacking, with some subpages not having links back to the<br>
top-level page, but for the most part it's an easy site to find one's<br>
way around.<br></blockquote><div><br>This was probably due mostly to not having the navbar on the left side. I've fixed it now, so you should see it displayed even without javascript enabled.<br><br>Thanks again for the commentary! It was most helpful--I'd appreciate any further criticism people have time to shoot my way.<br>
