i don't know why you picked my name to blatantly deride
it in front of all conlangers' assembly - i'll timely retaliate -
while it is the only natword i can stand in this world
provided m mutates into j and h makes a collapse into
unpredicted tonal vowels entailing other changes so actually
my name is jean-pierre.
my brand new conlang fully worked out last night does
not feature yucky [T]. however STM is a valid root meaning
"understand" and "sayitam" (S-a-yi-T-a-M) means
"(resulting) understanding" (of whatever one is told).
example :
hak SawaTuM-il has kawaruk e namat-ak
i understand that you mock my name
kayetk-al basag v=E2yavur kayaresh.
but the fry-pan chokes firmly.
(??? somehow i don't trust my automatic
interlinear translator)
any idea what root "LLS" should mean ?
