It's a good thing that these "count the days of our lives" threads come up every so often, otherwise I'd forget to do it! :-) (Among all those other things my wife is always complaining that I forget to do, like washing dishes, taking out garbage etc. ;-) ) Let's see: adding up all kinds of things and dividing by other things, ;-) my age comes out to 53. I have been working on my conlang, rtemmu, for only about a couple of years. So far it doesn't have any conculture associated with it. Jesse Bangs wrote:

I have an rtemmu idiom, which I like, for "being graceful" . It goes like this: fis slalal no ykalaltafo (to swim quickly like a wave which is slowly developing in beauty) fis = ("slalal" is) objectively developing quickly slalal = the process of swimming no = ("ykalaltafo" is) subjectively developing slowly ykalal = the process of wave-formation -tafo = developing in beauty Dan Sulani ----------------------------------------------------------- likehsna rtem zuv tikuhnuh auag inuvuz vaka'a.
