Re: CHAT: Politeness in conlangs

In Eviendadil, my conlang, I have a suffix, -adil, for
formallity.  Its actually a modification af the plural, -il.  -il
actually, in cases changes a word's meaning.  i.e.

Saran edorir, I greet you,

becomes

Saranadil edorir, I salute you(formal).

Saran edorir,
Matthew

P.S.  In a strange irregualar case, Eviendadil means the High Tongue
(traditional translation.)  Eviend can mean speech, debate, poetry,
literature, or writing, though not hand signals or any other forms of
communications besides oral and written.
