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".
