Glosa claims to have "no grammar".  That is a lie!!  Every language has a grammar.
It also has limited powers of derivation.  I suspect that it will be difficult
to translate anything non-trivial into Glosa.  I suspect that understanding the
Glosa of a Russian or a Japanese could be extremely difficult.
