Re: a call for conlang greetings!

For greetings in Obrenje, I'd like to refer to a previous post:

      http://groups.yahoo.com/group/conlang/message/75744

I might also add the following:

|O vedanje mole> /O v@"danj@ mo:l/ "that you may be welcome"
|Vedanjerde| /v@danj"Erd@/ "you are being welcomed"
|O ne vedanjele| /O n@ v@dan"je:l/ "that you may make yourself at home"
or simply:  |Vedanje| /v@d"anj@/ "welcome, at home".


I haven't given Jovian greetings much thought yet.  Standard IE
constructions like |Bon' din| /bAn"din/, a clipped version of |bonun
din| "good:ACC day:ACC", should work well enough.  Likewise: |Bon'
nucten| /bAn"nUxt@n/ "good night", |bon' manen| /bAm"ma:n@n/ "good
morning", |bon' viosprun| /bAm"biSpr@n/ "good evening".

 From "salve", I could make |sau| /saw/ "hello, hi".  "Welcome" would
probably come out as |wilgommen| /vil"gAmm@n/, as a loan from German.

One particularity of Jovian is  |o| /A/, a vocative particle that used
to be an interjection in Latin, but is used more like a preposition in
Jovian.  It is mandatory when addressing someone formally or
emphatically.  |O doemu, espicto tuun jussun| /A"DAjmeS"piCtA
tUn"jUss@n/ "O master, I am awaiting your order", |O mazer santa deji!|
/A"va:D@r"sant@"De:ji/ "Holy mother of God!"
