The closest to this I have done was writing native-language definitions as an
exercise in vocabulary,

Thus frex:

abse
   (1) nemšé javmb morjé-'f
       part  deep  sea   of

   (2) nemšé šâñte   fovtam ve eej*     fovtam
       part  intense most,  or profound most

avgé

   (1) prose    iršé     dort      jéve  adâ ve iâkthe     abe   adâ
       petition reverent performed deity to  or worshipped other to

   (2) heth prose'f    iagšé.
       such petition's performing


	*Muke!
* <eej> looks out of place, mainly because it's a borrowed word, derived from
Middle Drake /@jjaj\/; the reduction of vocalic sequences between Middle
Atlantic (Âdlantki) and modern Atlantic played havoc with the /@jja/.
