Again, I like it very much.  Very nicely done! :-)

I think I faced similar problems in Terkunan, but had a lot of
possibilities from Romance natlangs to choose analytical verb forms.
Quite a few things have changed from Latin to modern Romance
introducing analytical forms.  (Simplification in Terkunan was much
easier than planing the complex inflection paradigms of Þrjótrunn.)

In some cases, I felt I should use agglutination instead of sticking
entirely to isolation, e.g. the plural -z and the perfect participle
-at, as well as in derivation.

Have you decided whether totally regular agglutination would be
acceptable?  What about derivational affixes?
