These are all made-up languages that appear in stories that imitate
H. P. Lovecraft.  Lovecraft didn't write any of these, though the author(s)
steal some words from some of the "alien" phrases in his stories.  There
isn't any coherent language system behind any of these fragments, they're
just supposed to sound unearthly and Lovecraftian.

If you'd like to know the stories these come from and their authors,
you should post a question on "alt.horror.cthulhu", the H. P. Lovecraft
newsgroup.
