I'm not great at this sort of thing, but here's my best attempt.

I reworked my verb tenses a bit, finally adding a perfect, and got tired of calling it unnamed, so I repurposed the word for language from an older conlang and called it Nereifa.

Where did you get that strange thing?

That's a good argument. I'm leaning towards having them see suffix gwa as the same as normal gwa, so I'll go with the irregular for now. Thanks!

ちょっと手遅れでしょうが、私も会話したい。ここに日本語は人気じゃないの？

I have a number of nouns with irregular plural forms that came from phonetic changes. One of these is gwa, meaning place, location; regular plural would be gwae, but instead it's gwannae. This word also doubles as a suffix attached to nouns that denotes a place the noun belongs to, for example sureg...

stay! (no worries) So, how does "rei aka nimaza" work? Aka nimaza is a fixed expression that derives from proto-unnamed. It comes from raiakav ngimuzya, which means thanks to you and was used much like thank you in English. Between the phonological changes between then and now and people ...

Hi! My name's Ebon. I've been lurking for a while and figured I might as well make an account. I've been conlanging of and on for years now; the earlier projects all suck pretty bad, but hey, sucking at something is the first step to not sucking at something quite as bad. I'm currently working on a ...
