My conlang Nrit had an identity crisis, and a few millennia later it found
itself in the form of my newer conlang, Tsiréssa. (/ts1."4Es.sa/, for the
curious.)
It somehow developed a rounding-harmony system in its vowels and some wild
mutation patterns.
To resurrect an old but excellent translation, here're two fragments of
Sally's White Sword text:

/1."dan: d4it.t@ k@m."mat_} SeJ."Jid^h tMz.s1."4at^h av."J\}.tud^h/
ACC-sword white 3p-like REL-summer over-land 3p-hang
Like a white sword, summer hangs over the land.

Come, O sword of mysummer country, and melt me again!
