My first conlang had a lot of English loan words.  I had some neat
reanalyses, too.  :-)  Like, the English word "lunch" gave l-unchâd "to
have lunch", where the l- is the reflexive prefix, and -âd (/ejd/, the
macron was used for "long" vowels in the English sense in my ignorance
of linguistics) was the most common infinitive suffix.  The idea behind
it was that it was spoken on an alien planet, and colonists from America
had landed, colonizing the empty Northern Continent.
