Thanks for a nice exercise, Daniel!


Kench:

Yee rerd-beelders of aulom londom, dee' stor shepping yur!

[ji: r@:(r)dbi:ld@(r)z @v O:l@m lAnd@m di: stO:(r) SEpIN j@:(r)]

Lit. 'you language-builders of all countries, do your creation' (Kench
doesn't like to leave a transitive verb without a complement). _dee' stor_
is the regular transformation of *deeþ þor.

Yee       rerd-    beeld-er-s of aul -om     lond- om,    *dee-þ
You (pl.) language build er s of all dat.pl. land  dat.pl. do+imper+2pl

Couldn't coin the Celvechic for 'conlanger' yet :(
