I'm glad to hear this.  Senjecas purports to be the original
language, the ancester of pre-PIE.  To date it has 50 postpositions,
38 of which are basic, the rest derivative.

I have finally given a name to my Senjecan homeland: Sefdaania,
Seven Rivers.  It is analogous to "Punjab," Five Rivers.

Sefdaania is bounded on the east by the Ural Mountains, on the south
by the Black Sea, the Caucasus, and the Caspian Sea, on the west by
the Central European forest, and on the north by the southern edge
of the glacier or the Arctic Sea, depending on the geological period.

Sefdaania refers to the seven rivers that flow into the Black Sea
and the Caspian Sea: the Danube, the Dniester, the Bug, the Dnieper,
the Don, the Volga and the Ural.

My next task is to allot portions to each of the Six Loquent Peoples.
