It was part of some background research I was doing for a piece of fiction in which the unusual native language some of the characters spoke became a key plot element in the story.

@40hz What was the name of the fiction?

The title is Fianna. It's my own. It's a work in progress. :)
What other conlang do you think is closest to Ithkuil in approach? I have a specific language in mind, the grammar is just as complicated but the spelling doesn't use accented characters or have the cool script Ithkuil does.

About the only 'real' language I'm noddingly familiar with that resembles some of Ithkuil is CycL - unless you're talking about Ilaksh. But I'm guessing from the above that you're much more knowledgeable about esoteric conlangs than I'll ever be - so I'd be happy to hear anything you'd care to teach us about them. :up:

^I am. ;D
The story deals with the same. Only it's set about 3000 years into the future.

The language I was talking about is Latejami by Rick Morneau. The creator of Ithkuil has high regard for his work. His language is the only conlang I know of close to being as sophisticated as Ithkuil.
Arizona Hot:
Is a long article in the New Yorker about Ithkuil a compliment or something else?
