Okay, this much I can handle -- sorta.  As long as we don't go thinking
about long vowels counting as two mora (morae?).  In any case, it calls
for a nasty foreshortening of a fine & healthy inflectional morphology :(


Sayat (standard Latin orthography)

   Upkat nyorgorek
   dolborgida puvjarak
   kisattuv bisim.

Interlineal:
   upkat-0 nyo-rgo-rek(i)
   all-NOM green-INCHOATIVE-CONDITIONAL.DIFFERENT.SUBJECT.CONVERB

   dolbo-r-gida puv-ja-rak(i)
   evening-ADVERB-TOWARDS  blow(wind)-IMPERFECT-COND.DIFF.SUBJ.CONVERB

   kisat-du-iv bi-si-im
   house-LOC-POSS.1sg  be-NONFUTURE-1sg

 If everything is turning green
 If it's blowing late in the day towards evening
 I'm at my home.
