All Kassí are born in the same season, early spring. They are not
human, and have a "mating season", like many Earth animals.
Anyway, I think the way to say "I'm 22 years old" would be:
Launíuki utiániv unaduianúv
Launí-u -ki u- tiáni-v u -nadú -ianú -v
Be.at-1S-NonPunct G6-year -loc G6-twelve-eleven-loc
"I am in the 23rd year"
Or maybe:
Launíuki utiánikuav unaduianúv
Launí-u -ki u- tiáni-kua-v u -nadú -ianú -v
Be.at-1S-NonPunct G6-year -my -loc G6-twelve-eleven-loc
"I am in my 23rd year"
I'm not sure about the "my".
