... I also noticed some often-repeated word/sentence endings, which suggest
inflection, but that's the best I could suss out.

One thing that helped out a lot with the "nonsense syllables with an
American accent" problem in that movie was that Jovovich is not a native
English speaker.  She hails from some Eastern European country or another.


**** EDIT ****
IMDB says she's Ukrainian.  So I wonder if her speech pattern in the movie
(in both English and Conlang) was essentially the same problem, only
filtered through her natural Ukrainian accent?
