Well, here's the first sentence I composed in q~'u^pl!
d~'ihq! th~y^l! m#c~'u?! p#r~iw!
Man road walked-with-purpose was-traveled.
The man walked down the road.
And heres a complicated sentence from the Babel text:
d~'yhr! pth~il! ih q~yn! pl~upth!
time Lord NRE: city tower
d'yh^k! m#l~yw! m#pl~'yhc!
happen PA-come-down PA-look-around
p#p~un! p#n~'ul! q
PP-visit PP-look-at
Once/Then the Lord came down to look around and
checked out the city and the tower.
Well, that's a pretty rought translation, but a lot of
translation between this language and English is
pretty rough.
