Rosenfelder, yes. Is that a problem? ;)

I didn't say it was my own language; it just happens to be the conlang
I'm most familiar with.

(serious question:) Or would it be considered impolite to submit a
relay part in a conlang that is not one's own?

Or is the problem perhaps because if I have to make up a word or a word
form, it's not canonical because I don't "own" the language? Or because
I might make grammatical, semantic, syntactical, stylistic, or other
mistakes in my rendition which the creator might not?

Cheers,
Philip
