[following colons mark long vowels...letters have roughly Latin values]
Veldan:
falte = "greetings", "welcome"
mathamsa (sg.), mathamsar (pl.) = "be well" (used by the person(s) not going
anywhere)
very formal variant (that uses the optative instead of the imperative):
mathamsaiste (sg.), mathamsaista (pl.)
emathamsoste me:n (plurals: emathamsosta me:nas) = "you have made me/us be
well" (used by those taking leave)
Curiously, I don't have these defined yet for my other conlangs that are far
enough along to have web pages. Thanks for pointing out that hole in them!
