|melimwe| "divinely" 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... :) Elliott Lash
