So what do you think about the language? :)

Yeah, really.  I felt bad about that, but I noticed it, and I didn't
have time to write anything else.

I don't know much about Swedish, and no even less about
Old Swedish.  Nevertheless, a few questions:

-You explain in a footnote the presence of "w" in the vowel
list, but why "v"?  Are these orthographic vowels or IPA?

-I like the way you do negation!  I never seem to do negation
in any special way, but it tends to be special in most languages.
I like it!

-Not knowing Swedish, it's kind of hard to see which word
matches up with which in your examples, since there are no
glosses.

Anyway, looks pretty neat.  I like the look and sound of the
words (if I'm pronouncing them right), as well as the first
person verb suffix.  I'd definitely like to see more.

-David
