Ooh, I was playing with pangrams just the other week.  I was rather
pleased with this:

 zymekinalesu axtuvoo
 "If you had thought about it, it wouldn't be happening"
 (more literally, "with your having thought about, wouldn't happen")

I guess it's easier in langs with a small phoneme inventory, though!
The consonants all appear only once; four of the six vowels repeat
once each.  And it's all pre-existing stuff - nothing was invented
to fit the purpose. :-)

(Explanation follows, but I've never had official definitions or
names for some of this stuff, so consider the following terminology
to be unofficial!)

 zy-mekin-al-es-u axt-uv-oo
 2PP-think_about-P-VN-COM happen-NEG-CND

 2PP: 2nd person possessive
 P: past tense
 COM: comitative (with)
 NEG: negative
 CND: conditional
 VN:  verbal noun (of something that may or may not be the case)
