I actually don't even like the term "constructed language".  It sounds
klunky.  I like the term "language".  It serves me well.  Anyway, my latest
language makes only a patient/agent distinction, and has different verb
conjugations for the singular, dual, trial and plural, but no genders, and
different verb conjugations for each set of those in ten different moods
(more maybe coming).  And there was a translation going around, but I never
did it, and I forgot what it was...  Something like "I'm drunk now, but in
the morning when I'm sober you'll still be ugly"?  I think I got tripped
because, for some odd reason, I never came up with a word for "ugly" in my
big language.  Oh well.  If someone gets another one started, I promise to do
it.
