Ursula K. Le Guin's _Always Coming Home_ has a fairly extensive invented
language, with glossary IIRC. While not a language professional, she has
good native linguistic [sic] credentials: her parents were Alfred Louis
Kroeber, "the acknowledged leader of American anthropology after Boas's
death" <http://www.anthrobase.com/Dic/eng/pers/kroeber_alfred_l.htm>, and
Theodora Kracaw Kroeber, author of _Ishi in Two Worlds_
<http://www.cas.usf.edu/anthropology/women/kroeber/kroeber.html>
Poul Anderson's non-Norman essay on basic atomic theory, "Uncleftish
Beholding", which Dave Wilton cited, was the topic of a recent thread on
rec.music.filk. Between us we had found only two Latinide words that had
snuck in there, at least one and possibly both of them unavoidably.
