OK, now I understand. I need time to get used to
conlanging-related vocabulary... ;)

Yes, of course. My design goals for Laturslav are:

-a very logical language (with approximately the same
degree of logicalness as that of Turkish)
-very analytical (agglutinative lgs tend to be so)
-very regular (there's only one irregular verb -to be)

(well, perhaps those three characteristics can be
merged into one)

(Santiago Feldman):

Well, sensible for me is a language that can express
ideas in a very clear manner, making use of as few
syntactic/grammatical devices as possible (I exclude
morphological here).

I've had a look at it and it seems that you have a
very good knowledge of Latin. That helps a lot in
devising a Romlang. My knowledge of Latin is scarce
and most of the data regarding vocabulary and syntax I
infer from Romance languages (mainly Spanish and
Italian).
I have one question about your conlang:
Have you "made up" some traits out of the blue,
without justifying them, or have you thought
everything clearly so that every aspect of the lg is
derived from an identifiable source?

It would be a pleasure to participate!!
Count on me for that :)
