According to the sentence, la .roberton.kamarelen. is the chief actor, and= =20 we're supposed to experience something about RK (a real person) and the mad= =20 scientist (a character). That doesn't quite sound right to me. > Oh, and I made up "na'arki'o" for "millennia" and "skegunku'a" for > "laboratory"; not sure about those, neither. I say "ki'orna'a"; the power-of-ten words are used as prefixes, e.g. "ki'ot= re".=20 "skegunku'a" is fine, as long as it is a room. However, x2 of "kumfa" is th= e=20 building, not the scientist.
