> And apq’uxasiu for 'gawk' doesn't strike me as a particularly huge win for conciseness. It seems like it's missing the linguistic equivalent of huffman coding: make frequently used things shorter. Also, it's hardly concise with respect to time if you have to spend 30 minutes consulting a dictionary to utter a single sentence.
