  81                 <p>ABOUT:<br />The Jästugā Project was started sometime around 2010, with the ambitious goal of eventually becoming a "complete" language.  The language began with only a handful of simple words, and has gradually evolved from there.</p>
  82                 <p><strong>So, why did you <em>really</em> create this language?</strong><br />I am a writer, and one of the simple truths of writing in any "real" language is that, no matter what name you should pick, someone or something else also has that name.  Since the focus of my writings was a fictional place that I wanted to detach from the real world as much as possible, I decided to create a language of my own so that I could create unique names with a real etymological basis.  Furthermore, I wanted to prove that a complex language could evolve from a small selection of very simple words.</p>
  83                 <p><strong>Why don't some of the words have definitions?</strong><br />In order to prevent awkward situations that could potentially be created by having one's mouse in the wrong place when another looks at one's screen, the definitions of any words with "questionable" content have been "commented out".  You can undo this, or view any such definitions, by opening the db.js file in a text editor.</p>
