i think i missed your post, but now that i look at it they are very
similar... i've been working on this conlang for a few days and i was
looking for something to translate and my bible was sitting on the desk
right here.  great minds think alike, i guess.

i'm not sure what you mean when you say it looks english.  i'm not really
satisfied with it yet, "ðunga", "vrasa", "velðu", "slaga", and "ðeru"
should probably be "nunga", "mrasa", "melðu", "nhlaga", and "neru" (see
the pattern?), but i'm not sure what to do with "zdana" and "liva"...
