Cool.  Obrenje actually has most of these words
already.  =P



 > 1. to think
 > I think about many things.

Obrenje:

    Punce arjeze.
    ['pMns ar'je:Z]
    many  muse:1

    Note: |Arje-| means "to think about, muse, contemplate".
          The meaning "to think that..., believe, have the
          opinion that..." is carried by a different verb,
          |qessa-|, or the adverb |qes| "methinks, IMHO".

Jovian:

    Coedo muodis (réis).
    ['kAjdA 'mu@di rej]
    think:1s  many:f:OBLp  thing:OBLp

Obrenje:

    Ozae kered noka vikkeze.
    [O'za: k@'rEd 'no:ka vik'ke:Z]
    today  town:d  go:GND  plan:1

Jovian:

    ['pa:rA va:r 'aft@n hAj]

 > 3. road
 > I will go by the low road.

Obrenje:

    Dunej nom jerze.
    [dM'nej nOm 'jErZ@]
    low:d  road  travel:FUT:1

Jovian:

    Jo dindrare vijae improri.

Obrenje:

    Tare mulle xim dowma laqquze.
    [ta:r mMll zin 'dowma laN'Nu:Z]

Obrenje:

    Furolduze ro nome.
    [fMrOl'du:Z rO 'no:m]
    stumble:PST:1  in  road:d

Jovian:

 > 6. wind
 > The wind was fierce.

Obrenje:

    Uq pelev u orosni.
    [MN p@'lEv M O'rOsni]
    be:LIQ:3e  wind:d  PRE  wild

    Note: Ironically, |orosni| is derived from |oros|
          "storm", which should have been used instead
          of |pelve| "wind" in the first place.  :-P
          I have to coin more words for "wild"...

Jovian:

    Vindu era feru.
    [vindz 'e:r@ 'fe:r@]
    wind:NOMs  be:PST:3s  wild:m:NOMs

    Note: The [z] comes from the Resistance sandhi, a
          residual of the Latin -us ending.




 > 7. to snap
 > It snapped my cloak.

Obrenje:

    Kruke i xim dowma.
    [kru:k i zin 'dowma]
    break:3i  OBJ  POS:1  coat

    Note: I'm not sure whether I've understood your
          sentence correctly.  This use of "snap" sounds
          weird to my (non-native) ears.

Jovian:

    Xindiva miun paellun.
    [Sin'di:v@ mim 'bEll@n]

 > 8. to freeze
 > My ears are freezing.

Obrenje:

    Ze sytoq gwae.
    [Z@ Sy'tON gwa:]
    PER:1:OBJ  freeze:LIQ:3e  ear:d

    Note: The meaning of the objective case here is the
          dative, not a direction... not "The ears freeze
          at me", but "To me (it happens that) the ears
          freeze".

Jovian:

    Miae ores jeilen.
    [mi 'o:r@z 'jejl@n]

    Note: |Nommeda| literally means "roadhome".
