Not a conlang, ... German:
Der Junge, mit dessen Mutter sich meine Tochter später
The boy with whose mother 3s.REFL my dauther later
befreunden sollte, wurde krank.
befriend should became ill.
Ayeri:
Mataviya nupakur yanang mahaváng sangena
PST.become.3s.m A.ill boy.A mother.A REL:A.GEN
'The boy became ill whose mother ...
mataviye ledonaris layraena ayena epang.
PST.become.3s.f friend.P girl.GEN 1s.GEN later.
... became the friend of my daughter later.'
That was quite a nut to crack. And look at that evil
applicative!
Regards,
Carsten
