{{Quote|text= | {{Quote|text='''Kēlen''' has the life and vibrancy of a full-fledged artlang. Take the relational se, for example. In fact, go here right now, scroll down a little more than halfway, and take a look at the conjugation (for lack of a better word) of ''se''. That's not something a typical engelang does. [...] Sylvia's got a ton of information on Kēleni culture and society, a description of the Kēlen calendar, this crazy divination thing that I don't really get but really like to look at (it has a button you can press, and stuff happens when you press it!), not one, not two, but ''three'' scripts, a translation of an utterly intolerable prose passage, an online dictionary that immediately makes me want to stop using it and do something else because I'm so jealous of how well the freaking thing works and so frustrated with my feeble attempts to try to create something that's even half as good as it, and tons more!|sign=''David J.

{{Quote|text=[W]ith '''ámman îar''' [...], David then goes on to create something unique and intricate—and the result is wholly original. [...] Conlangs that otherwise appear quite naturalistic tend to tip their hand with an ergative system that's far more pristine than any natural language would ever allow. David Bell's ámman îar, far from falling into the trap of artificiality, features a wonderfully balanced split ergative system that a linguist wouldn't be surprised to find in the wild.|sign=''David J.
