| Greetings,

Hi, and welcome back! It seems like the whole tlhIngan-Hol mailing list
starts migrating to the CONLANG-L. That's great! :-)

| I'm currently working on a language called Thisbo,
| which is
| one of the languages spoken on my alternative-universe
| earth,
| called Zyem. Originally, Thisbo was a very simple
| nominative/accusative inflected language very similar
| to Greek
| or Russian,

The project seems interesting. If you need some advises with respect to
Russian (I am a native speaker), feel free to ask.

| Verb forms
|
| The only forms I've got so far are the Active and
| Inchoative
| aspects. Thisbo will have at least present, future and
| past
| versions of each.

Did you think about spliting the past tense into perfective and
imperfective? I feel it would fit very much into you scheme.
