Rhean presents no surprises:

I c'erazom suvimu, ki c'erazmik likli c'emu.
in night-INST sit-1PL , and night-like silent be:1PL

  There's this depressing realisation that I can't do even that simple
sentence in Tolborese or Omurax. They're nothing but grammars! Almost no
vocabulary! That's just sad.
