nu aves khara ansha

Here I am, about to assault your senses again ;^)

Here are some phrases and words in nu aves khara ansha from my novel.  There
are very few names as yet, and mostly those of the venya - strongwomen, names
like:

Nu Melaimed Venya - The Strongwoman Melaimed
Nu Shelaisha fayake-Venya - Shelaisha the trainee Strongwoman
Nu Kra'Yishela Venya - The Strongwoman Kra'Yishela - Kra' means shape/ly,
Yishela means body; Nu Kra'Yishela Venya is strongly suspected of having
given herself that name; she is arrogant and has a highly inflated sense of
her own worth
Nu Tivenya Venyaya'en ret - the strongest of the Strongwomen
Nu Praleyo Nisya'en Raoyitshou - Praleyo the male offspring of a nisya
Nu Zhalie Khara'en Ansha - the land sacred to the hunt
Nu Ahn Forakh'en Melin - the Claw of the Morning - the Morning Star
Ai!  Isao Ineya!  Ineya Nyenin!  - O, this people, my people!

As can be made out from the samples above, nu aves khara ansha has a habit of
embedding head words in a phrase bounded by the definite article and the
supplementary adjectival phrase, in the case of Nu Melaimed Venya, Melaimed
is the head noun, being a proper noun, while Nu - "the" is balanced by Venya
- "Strongwoman" on the other side.  Word for word, one would translate it
"The Melaimed Strongwoman".

In terms of sentence structure, this should logically mean that a sentence is
an appositional set of phrases, a verb phrase followed by a noun phrase or
phrases, with the head word immediately following the initial word and the
adjectival nominals immediately following - though the word order is looser
for the adjectival phrases, and in some instances it appears that the head
nominal is a phrase itself - ahn forakh - "morning" - means something like
"sun up" ahn - "rise", forakh - "sun", and it takes the 'en dative marker.

"Kyansya - in your tongue (yhe vala lakha) it would be Inrasa."  Inrasa -
'ripening'.  I laughed as well.  An appropriate nickname for an adolescent
female, as Inkhayad - 'hardening' was for the few adolescent males I had met
going on their first caravan guard duty.

nisya - breeding  - colloquial term for GM huntresses, often specifically
bred to raise the standard in certain ways, with rights that were
traditionally beyond question - Vheratsho was alleged to be such by various
of the ineya khara ansha she met, on the basis of certain scent markers she
had, which gave a sourer scent than the rest of her kin.  she fervently
denied being it, which didn't come as any surprise.

Ineya    Razh?  Foolish people?
people   foolish

Ineya Khara-Ansha?  People of the sacred hunt?
         hunt    sacred/set aside
Khara'en Ansha - sacred to the hunt

"I'ai vralnei oro'en ma nye'en iri."  There is light between you and I.  We
can see each other and no blood has been spilt between us.  I didn't add the
corresponding phrase that my father taught me, I'ai nyoro'en nu lalno toie
toino - there is for us the one and same blood.
