Cool! Congratulations! Two questions: (1) Will I commit a terrible faux pas if I create a character who responds v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y to everyone else, because of all the time I have to spend fumbling with the dictionary and jbofihe? (Maybe my character should be a sentient plant...) (2) Why is (for example) the "look" command "viska" rather than "mi viska" or "ko viska"?
