"I like the machine of the planet Fighting God. The machine's talk makes me happy."

Specifically befriending, and remember Rikchik has no singular/plural distinction.

My first-run translation did use "befriending"...but I didn't realize about the lack of singular/plural distinction.

Also note the aspect of Machine is R (animate), indicating actually moving machines. pathfindress would be a .

By the way, did you see the article (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/entertainment/8066039.htm) Knight-Ridder or somebody released about artificial languages recently? It focused mainly on Elvish, Klingon and Esperanto, but our local paper had a sidebar with some samples of "weird" languages. Weird being a relative term; the ones they featured were pretty tame compared to Rikchik.

I'd love to see that sidebar... does your local paper have a website?

The paper's at http://www.macon.com/mld/macon/ (http://www.macon.com/mld/macon/), but I can't bring up the article. I'll send you a photocopy if you'll give me your paper-mail address.

In 1998, I was interviewed by a TV station in Amarillo, Texas about my language. I made the 5 and 6:00 reports.

I assume this refers to spiritrover and opportunitygrrl?
