Hey Great Lord,
Regarding your the first part of your fourth question, RJ noted this a few years back which I think touches on some of it:
RJ's blog 2 October 2005 "ONE MORE TIME"
And finally, the Old Tongue is written in a script that has more letters than the English alphabet, some representing diphthongs. That script will be in the Encyclopedia that Harriet will do, along with 950 or so words of the Old Tongue derived from what is called Basic English, the 950 words necessary to carry on an understandable conversation. Some words I dropped as essentially unnecessary to the books — electricity, for example — while others — such as sword and names of birds and animals – I had to add. The total might come nearer 1000 words by now.
There is some great stuff regarding the Old Tongue on Terez's Interview info on the Old Tongue, maybe it has more info you are interested in.
