Addendum to stuff I forgot to mention about my 3 languages:
- In Yivríndil and Tzingrizhîl pronominal possession
("my," "your," etc.) is indicated by a suffix.
- In Praçí pronominal possession is indicated by a freestanding particle
that precedes the noun
- Adjectives do not share any of the same inflectional categories as
nouns, in any of the languages.

improvements and change. It is the old things that startle and
intoxicate. It is the old things that are young."
