Siniuz is  in basic  vocabulary a euroclone.  outside of this it is mostly
populated[?] by words denoting abstract concepts and feelings and phenomena
that I  experience frequently [eg. baois:  The inclination to acknowledge the
sources of ones own ideas when it is possible that someone to whom they are
speaking could guess this source. [If there is a question about General Grant
on Jeopardy and I bring up General Grant in conversation the next day, I feel
the baois to aknowledge that this is my source lest someone think I am trying
to pass off trivia I recently acquired as actual preexisting knowledge.]  The
grammar is  flexible.  An english sentence can be translated into Siniuz in
either a completely isolating sentence or an almost completely agglutinating
manner.  There is a system of 8 optional cases presently in use [nominative,
accusative, dative, genitive, locative, benefactive, Agentive and
Instrumental]  as well as optional conugations of verbs for number, person or
gender of agent.  as a general rule primary prepositions are put before the
verb  and are optionally prefixes.  eg:
she throws it over the net
al      le            surtir            le       reti
she    it-Acc      over-throw     the     net-Dat

If the final consonant[s] of a verb are unvoiced, then the verb's preterite
form  is simply the verb with this/these final consonant[s] voiced.
I fight you
puc-o-t'
fight-I-you

I'll fight you(very familiar, extreme friends or siblings)
puc-r-o-ch'
fight-will-I-you

I fought them
puG-o-z'
fought-I-them

At the moment this is all that can be said for Siniuz.
