Steve, unfortunately, I dont think my sounds could help you much, as
they sound very un-serpentlike for the most part. It is mostly a pared
down selection of english sounds (kr, z, fl, v, th, k, f, n, d, t, g,
tr, s, sl, l, ft, st, and sh). The grammer is a bit more unusual. It
follows strict SVO, SV, or S. Adjectives and prepositions can be formed
from the nouns or verbs, and they can be recursive. Secondary (and
tertiary? Does such a thing exist?) objects would typically be part of
the prepositional verb. I hope that makes sense.
