Why not? Those qualify as genuine COMLANG in my view.

For some reason, all my langs. seem to have a CVCV(C) basis and it's very hard to keep Malay or other Austronesian forms out of the mix. All too often the first thing that pops into mind is some word or other that I know from research, but I try to resist. Sometimes I do use the form, but change the meaning.
