I am not sure whether this is a correlation equals causation fallacy, or whether it simply is that my strange perception of the world caused my conlangs to develop as they did, but I did notice some differences. It is not easy to tell, but for example I feel that I compare 'rejistanian' in my thoughts and since I invented the alsi- comparisons, I tried to translate them into the natlangs, I use quite often because something is just so very clearly 'alsina good'. (I do not know what the grammatical term for these forms of comparison is, but they are comperatives and superlatives, which indicate that the use of the adjective was only justified in the comparison: If I have 5 € and you have 5.10 €, none of us is rich but you are alsina rich han me.) I hope this makes some form of sense. ~M.
