Ooh, I like this! In Carashan:

Lo conto era in caimeilo ao jovaico muilato della cosea.
the count was in infatuation to the youth muscled of-the kitchen.

Three interesting points:

I already had a phrase "to be infatuated with"- esser in caimallo a, "to be
in infatuation to". "Caimeilo" is from the Ardos word caiemacula, a
diminutive of caiema "love"

Muilato "muscled" is from muila "muscle", from Aredos muscula, literally
meaning "little mouse"- a direct calque from the Latin phrase.

Cosea "kitchen" is from the VL word cocina. I have so many Latin loans in
Carashan!
