Hmm, if you'll indulge me, i'm going to not comment on the rest of your message
(although, the idea is similar to something I came up with for Nindic: e +
adjective = adverb). Rather, a chance coincidence between Silindion, Nindic and
Obrenje has just occured!
Silindion:
malna "god"
malanya "gods"
Nindic:
mala "god"
melaen "gods"
And now back to conlanging... :)
