Why thank you.  I noticed also that the verb <eith>
ought to have been <einta> in Old Nindic.

pronunciation /e:~Ta/

How would you pronounce this? A Silindion speaker
would say:

 /tirea im sErim kvar banEsi nabomas adolas aramaras/

very straightforward, is it close?

What's the ...um..base form of <im> It looks a lot
like Nindic, Silindion <i> "the"

 How do you separate the morphemes of <tirea>
It looks somewhat like Silindion  <tiliello "to see">

I'd suppose that -as is the locative suffix. But then
how do you show the double locative on Aramaras?  This
seems like the phenomenon of "suffixaufnahme" which
everyone around here mentions, with what is it
agreeing?

Once again, thanks. I'm trying to get something about
it on the web, but I'm not sure how to do it at the
moment.

This was the general aim of Nindic, or at least
Northern Nindic, which this is the Classical Modern
representative of. Southern Nindic is more Gaelic.

I've been working on the language for around 4 years,
I dont know if I'd say that every part is well worked
out yet, but I've done a whole lot that I'm satisfied
with. I try to reasonn through every grammatical
change that goes on in as much detail as possible,
keeping my eyes open for possible analogy ideas.

Wow :) thanks. I've been looking at your Old Albic
site a bit, and I really like it as well. I think my
languages tend to be mostly Indo-European in
feel...Albic tries to do something different, it
seems. I admire that, but haven't really gotten very
far with non-I.Eoid languages, myself.

Elliott.
