Is your word for "throat" really |gurgul|? That's entertaining, is what
that is. :-)

I also see |pougul|. Is |gul| a real suffix, thus |pou|+|gul| and
|gor|+|gul|?

Is it weird that knowing the translation, I can follow along at home
without a full interlinear? That was the case with a lot of your examples,
and it's the first time I've found somebody else's conlang that readily
readable.
