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.
