	I'd be interested in hearing about it, Borek.  

	The case of "Kirk Allen" is in the book *The
Fifty-Minute Hour* by Robert Lindner, an old popular
book about psychoanalysis.  "Kirk Allen" created a
future history in an "Olmayan" language that was an
unconsciously produced idiolect of some kind.  Lindner
talks about "Kirk Allen"'s childhood on some South
Pacific island, so one assumes it might be Polynesian
in derivation, as Helene Smith's "Martian" was from
French.  

	Lindner successfully treated "Kirk Allen" but of
course keeps confidential who he really was.  Thus many
details won't be available.  There are quite a few
things about "Kirk Allen" on the Net, run a search.
