Lin is for telepathic aliens and was created by Skrintha.
Uniqueness
Lin incorporates nine-fold polysemy ("enneasemy") in its lexicon, where vocabulary is disambiguated through inter-word morphology. This, and the use of single- and double-letter words for the most commonly used concepts, makes Lin spatially compact. The language incorporates nine-fold polysemy ("enneasemy") in its lexicon which in actual usage are disambiguated by means of inter-word morphology. This, and the use of single- and double-letter words for most commonly used concepts makes the language spatially compact.
Language sources
A desire to create a spatially highly compact but humanly parsable language.
Design principles
The same as inspired it, ie., 4A :-)
Interest of others
Not officially, but am thankful for kind encouragement received over the years from CONLANGers and LANGDEVers.
