Greetings all & Re: The Very Very First Sentence

Hello again,
With all of the other people returning from absences, its seems I have
returned at a good time ;) I hope everyone has been doing well with
their languages. I know a good break always helps me come up with new
ideas and ways to polish up my language, so it has undergone a few
changes like normal ;)

Ver interesting Philippe. In that case, the first sentance in slathred
ekryd  could have been an interjection, "siz". It bascially means
something that has been differentiated from something else. However, for
a theory of something even more basic that differenciation, how about
sensation? Without the ability to sense, differences could not be
noticed even if they did exist.
