New Arvorec words

From:Dan Jones <feuchard@...>

This must be the first addition to Arvorec vocabulary for months. I was writing a
personal profile in Arvorec (for the new Arvorec web-page, which I will finish
soon- I promise ;o) ) and I found I lacked a word for homosexual, so, we now
have:

ceneyth "homosexual person" < Latin CINAEDU (no slur intended to any Kenneths on the list!)
yngyl "poof" (pej.) < English "ingle"
tryvaeth "lesbian" < English "tribade"

All used in one sentance:
Ma c'hwer yw yn dryvaeth, my yw yn yngyl, ac oll an taely yw geneydhow!
My sister's a lesbian, I'm a poof- the whole family is gay! (actually, I don't have a sister)

ObConlangQuestion: How would you express this in your conlangs?

Ka tso iti mantabayan: "yama zaláyá
alánekayam la s'alika, cas'alika; ka yama
yavarryekayan arannáam la vácika, labekayam 
vácika, ka ali cas'alyeko vanotira."
