hehe. Fun.
In my unnamed IE-YACL:
Luvot su tukku llum kartas musolnum.
Was.Fond.Of the duke.nom boy.acc hearth.gen muscular.acc.
I'm not 100% sure if I like "musolnum" (lit. having little mice) for
"muscular." I might choose a different derivation for that word than the
Latin. Perhaps "senum," from *sai-. But I'd like to find something
interesting and different.
