There reached a point where i got very bored with the oh-so-pleasing-to-me=20
phonology and grammar of elv nedm/elV nEdM/aleph nedma/nedm=F3rsk (all the s=
ame=20
language) so when creating the language I use for my journal, Nzva, i decide=
d=20
that I didn't want to become overly attached to it since it was (in my=20
frustrated mind) *just* a language, soI put every possible feature I dislike=
d=20
(long words, almost isolating grammar, heavy derivation) and chose absolutel=
y=20
disgusting-sounding words for the very common roots, but as i grew to enjoy=20
the language I decided to change it to something more pleasing, e.g.

My main problem now is that I like fricatives so much that to me sentences=20
are scarcely utterable, e.g.

=F0y'x    vzis      sas    xivjyz       asyj
you'-be obviously I-GEN  chemical-PLU use-about.to

quite a tongue twister for me, but if I could hear it out loud I am sure i=20
would like the sound.
