Uhm... (warning! contains ascii-figures and braindump)

ÿþyóuvenenn ryiaðe vaþyó

vocative- make language -maker  this -place.of -all  imperative- make

*yuck*

ÿryóuvenenn sïiaðe varyó

vocative- make language -maker  generic -place.of -all  imperative- make

*better*

ÿuvenryssenn sïiaðe varyó

vocative- language artist  generic -place.of -all  imperative- make

{þyóenn} for engineer maybe? Naah, that word sounds more like 'craftsman'
(or is it craftsperson?)

Rhythm isn't good either...

vren ÿ(uven)(ryssenn)ðe ryó

(, is secondary stress)
'vren y,uven'ryssenðe 'ryó

imperative  vocative- language artist -all  make

or perhaps...

varyóuvenryssennðe

(What is the real stem in a subject incorporation anyway? Need it to
find stress-pattern)

But is ryó/þyó right for this meaning of make? When one "ryó"s something
one uses a blueprint of some kind, while if one "seann"s something it is
made out of thin air with a lot less planning... Oh well, hopefully the
solution will "seann" itself sooner or later, if I don't "vyrr" it by
chance that is.

Vocab, fun? Maaaaaybe :) A lot of work anyway
