a Doth emManthi -- The Book of Charms

This is an example of my new language, Caeth.  Some phonetic notes: ae is
pronounced like the OE aesc.  th is thorn, dh is edh.  <ht> is an
apico-alveolar fricative.  <ch> is /x/.  <sj> is like the <sh> in "cash"
or the OE <sc> in "scip."  <cj> is like the OE <c> in "ciric", or the
English <ch> in "church."  <y> is a rounded /i/.  Accent is on the first
syllable, minus prefixes.

This is a small selection from

the book of.charms

[Note: genitives are formed with a nasal prefix, usually en-, but
depending on the first letter sometimes em- or -eng, or even n-]
