On Lapine (and I don't mean Warren)

Reading this page on Lapine makes me want to reread Watership Down, which was my very favourite book when I was about ten and which I don't think I have read since my teens.

From the Langmaker main page:
"Lapine, the language [Adams] sketches for his rabbits, is arguably the best naming language ever created, and is a minimalist virtuoso performance, a haiku of a language compared to the sonnet of Sindarin. It's amazing how much can be accomplished with so little (56 words!)."
